Starting my day off with a nutritious boost is something I really enjoy, and my Peach Protein Smoothie Bowl is a perfect choice. It has the creamy richness of Greek yogurt, the natural sweetness of ripe peach, and lots of protein and healthy fats.

Pro Tips

1. Freeze Your Peach For an extra creamy texture, freeze the chopped peach before blending. This will also keep your smoothie bowl colder and more refreshing without needing too many ice cubes.

2. Boost Nutrients Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients. The taste will remain mostly unchanged, and you’ll get added vitamins and antioxidants.

3. Balance Sweetness Taste the smoothie before adding honey or syrup to gauge sweetness, especially if your peach is naturally sweet. Adjust accordingly to avoid over-sweetening.

4. Pre-Soak Chia Seeds Soak the chia seeds in a little almond milk for 5-10 minutes before adding them to the blender. This will help them blend more smoothly and enhance the texture of your smoothie bowl.

5. Enhance Flavor Add a dash of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the smoothie bowl, providing a subtle yet delicious twist.
