Here is a twist on Peach Cobbler in the form of a protein packed peach smoothie, with sugar-free protein powder, oats and cinnamon. Only 185 calories per serving, 21 grams protein and 4 grams of sugar! It’s a great breakfast, mini meal or workout recovery snack.
Every month I have been making up a new smoothie of the month for the gym where I teach Body Pump. We started with the Vanilla Green Protein Smoothie {which thanks to Buzzfeed has taken on a new life here online too.} Then we moved on to the Mango Antioxidant and June was Strawberries and Cream. The month of July is all about stone fruit, so I decided to highlight peaches in the smoothie of the month.
I’d been seeing a lot of smoothies online with oats, and clients at my gym were asking if any of our smoothies had oats in them, so I figured this was a great opportunity to experiment with them. It’s kind of a twist on the super popular overnight oats like my Blood Orange Creamsicle Overnight Oats or this fun gluten-free version Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats by Gluten-Free Palate.
I decided to make this smoothie with the flavors of Peach Cobbler. The creamy vanilla and peach with a subtle oat flavor is great on its own, but it’s really that pinch of cinnamon that really makes it taste like peach cobbler.
I added in sugar-free vanilla whey protein powder that we sell at our gym. It comes from grass-fed cows, and has a really nice vanilla flavor. It’s sweetened with stevia, which I normally don’t like, but it is not too much and the natural sugars in the fruit in the smoothie make the stevia taste better. I realize that most of you all already have a protein powder that you like, so just use the one that you like best. I know there are even some hemp proteins out there that I seriously need to get off my duff to try more of.
These have about 21 grams of protein per serving, and 4 grams of fiber. So you should feel pretty full and satisfied when you drink one. I am more one to graze and or eat 5 mini meals a day, so this certainly counts as a mini meal for me. And since we’re on this protein snack kick, don’t miss checking out this super awesome Paleo Protein Bars recipe by Food Faith Fitness.
Question:
Do you ever put oats in a smoothie?
Do you eat lots of mini meals?

I love peach cobbler! This looks so refreshing 🙂
Ahh thank you! Have a great day.
Hi Katie, Peaches are one of my favorite fruits in smoothies and yours looks fantastic. Great nutritional profile too! Can’t wait to try your peach cobbler smoothie for breakfast or recovery. Pinning this beauty.
Thank you my friend. Have a great day!
I’m on a smoothie kick! so yes, sign me up! let’s do a smoothie swap! haha. i’ll trade you for my key lime pie smoothie?
A smoothie mash-up swap! I love it!
I love summer peaches! Can not wait to try this recipe!
Me too! I will be filling my freezer with them when the local crop is ready for the season!
I have been crushing on Chik-Fil-A’s peach shake in a big huge way! But, I can only look and not touch because it’s filled with stomach churning lactose – but this isn’t – AND this has cinnamon! YUM!
I do add oats occasionally to smoothies – but, not cinnamon – BRILLIANT Katie!
It took me forever to realize that it was the milk in my smoothies that was upsetting my belly and not the whey. My doctor had told me that I was probably lactose intolerant a long time ago but I ignored her. It is so great to finally be able to enjoy smoothies again.
I’ve bought an insane amount of peaches at the farmer’s market. This smoothie is the perfect way to put them to good use!
I am so with you! I can’t get enough stone fruit at this time of year.
Peaches in the summer are one of my favorite things! Especially grilled with maple syrup & vanilla bean ice cream 🙂 This smoothie sounds like a healthy way to satisfy that craving though, pinning!
Ooh, I’ll have to try the grilled technique you mentioned. Sounds incredible!
So excited for peaches to come back into season. Then I’ll be able to make a peach cobbler AND a peach cobbler smoothie!
They are still not ready here in Vermont either but will be soon!
i love smoothies in general so this will be a nice change 🙂
It is a total change of pace for my smoothie routine and we’re loving it! Hope you enjoy Dixya.
How positively delightful!! I’m stocked up on peaches, and will definitely have to keep these in mind for when I get home!
I love stocking up on fruit in the summer too. Enjoy!
All of your smoothies look amazing!!! xx
Thank you so much my friend! Hope you have a great weekend.
Lately I’ve been using oats in some of my smoothies. I like that they thicken the smoothie and lend a bit of creaminess. I’ve also been using hemp protein in my smoothies and I agree, you should give it a try!
Great smoothie recipe, Katie. I LOVE peach cobbler!
Yes creaminess! That’s exactly what I think about the oats. Yum! Thanks so much for coming by Julie.
