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.

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?
