Ingredients
Frozen Peaches
Frozen peaches seem less popular that other frozen fruit, but they really hit the mark for peach smoothies. Peach season or not, they add a refreshing and fruity base to our smoothie. Opting for frozen peaches (instead of fresh) ensures a thick and creamy smoothie consistency.
Milk
I used unsweetened almond milk, but feel free to choose any kind of milk. Fairlife milk is a great choice if you're going the dairy route, as it has more protein and less sugar than traditional dairy milk.
Protein Powder
A scoop of this lightly-flavored vanilla protein powder provides a creamy base for this peach cobbler shake without outshining the flavors of the other ingredients, and it ensures the high protein content for a healthy post-workout boost. I highly recommend this protein powder for protein shakes and smoothies! Read more here: The Best Protein Powder for Shakes and Smoothies.
Sweetener
Add a touch of sweetness to boost the peach flavor and mimic the sugary goodness of a peach cobbler. I used granulated erythritol, but feel free to use your favorite natural sweetener.
Cinnamon
A pinch of ground cinnamon brings warmth and depth to the shake, replicating the cozy essence of a peach cobbler.
Oats
Boost the fiber content and add a subtle nutty flavor by adding rolled oats to the shake. This contributes to a more filling and satisfying smoothie, and it helps distinguish this peach cobbler shake from a (plain) peach protein shake.
Salt
A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor profile.
Equipment Needed
- kitchen scale - highly recommended for easy cleanup and more accurate measures
- high-speed blender - this is my favorite smoothie blender, and it's affordable. Read more about it here: the best budget smoothie blender
Instructions
- In a blender cup, add frozen peaches, milk, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, oats, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, 30-60 seconds.
- Adjust the consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk; if it's too thin, add more frozen peaches.
- Pour the peach cobbler protein smoothie into a glass, and enjoy! (Or drink it right out of the smoothie cup.)
Ingredient Substitutions
- Fresh peaches: If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to use them instead of frozen. Add a few ice cubes to keep the shake frosty.
- Protein powder: I prefer whey protein powder in any peach smoothie recipe rather than plant-based protein powder because the flavor of the peaches would likely be outshined by the strong taste of the plant based protein.
- Other fruits: Feel free to swap the peaches for other frozen or seasonal produce that would taste great in a cobbler. Berries or cherries would be great choices!

Recipe Variations
- Add Vanilla Extract: Enhance the creamy vanilla flavor by adding a teaspoon of alcohol-free vanilla extract to the mix.
- The taste of brown sugar: Use a brown sugar replacement for an added flavor dimension without the extra carbs or sugar.
- Supercharged smoothie: Add hemp hearts (hemp seeds) for a superfood boost!
Storage Info
This peach cobble protein shake is best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored up to 24 hours in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I love these thermal tumblers for storing shakes in the fridge or taking them on the go.
