FAQs
Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?
Yes, but since fresh peaches aren’t as cold or dense, the smoothie may be less thick and creamy. Add extra ice to achieve a similar texture.
What if I don’t have protein powder?
You can omit the protein powder or replace it with Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
