For the best "peaches and cream" texture, serve this smoothie immediately while it is frosty and thick. If you have leftovers, you can pour them into popsicle molds for a healthy frozen treat later. To save time in the morning, pre-portion your fruit and protein powder into freezer bags so all you have to do is dump and blend.
For Frozen Yogurt: You can use additional nonfat Greek yogurt and add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
For a Liquid Base: Unsweetened almond milk or oat milk works well if you prefer a non-dairy option.
For Protein Powder: Swap the plant-based protein powder for whey or casein protein, depending on your dietary preferences.
