Cherry Peach Protein Smoothie

Starting the day with this fresh fruit smoothie is not only delicious, but packed with protein to keep you satisfied until lunch time!

Welcome Farmer’s Market Weeks! This week I have joined several of my food blogging friends to share recipes that feature ingredients found at your local Farmer’s Market. At the end of this post you will find links to 14 delicious recipes!

Earlier this week I featured this yummy upside down peach cake. You definitely want to click over to get the recipe!

Fresh fruit smoothie with peaches, cherries and hemp powder

I have probably mentioned once or ten time before how lucky I am to live in an area with an abundance of fruit and vegetable farms. Oh, and did I mention wineries too!!

I look forward to the visiting the on farm markets weekly to check out the freshly picked produce. Currently peaches are in season, and this year I am stocking up.

Peach and cherry protein smoothie is a delicious fresh fruit smoothie

I love fresh fruit smoothies. Peach is definitely a favourite but find the commercially frozen variety lacking in flavour. This year I will be filling my own freezer bags with sliced peaches fresh from the farm and frozen at home.

Tips for freezing peaches

  • buy peaches that are ripe, but not too soft
  • wash and let air dry
  • slice peaches either with skin on or off (your choice)
  • toss gently with juice of one lemon for every 10 minutes and allow to sit for a few minutes
  • Arrange peach slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking tray and place in freezer until completely frozen
  • transfer to freezer bags for storage
fresh fruit smoothie

Fresh fruit smoothies are my go to breakfast all summer long!

Having so many options to buy fresh fruit in our area makes fruit smoothie flavour combinations endless! But, there is something about the flavour of a fresh, juicy peach that is a winner.

A handful of frozen cherries and a few tablespoons of hemp powder round out this yummy smoothie that keeps me full until lunch time!

I have struggled to find a plant based protein powder that isn’t sweetened with stevia (can’t abide the after taste) or one that doesn’t have a grainy texture. I find that pure hemp powder isn’t at all grainy, nor does it have an unpleasant after taste!

My favourite way to enjoy a fruit smooth is just that. Fruit! Peaches ice cubes and oat or nut milk! It tastes like a decadent milkshake but without all the added fat and calories!

If you love smoothie’s too, check out my favorite green smoothie recipe and my go to smoothie in the autumn, this creamy pumpkin smoothie that tastes just like pumpkin pie!
