Looking for a quick, on the go breakfast to make as the kids head back to school? Try this nutrient dense, creamy Peach Watermelon Smoothie recipe!

I’ve always loved milk and if you have followed this blog for any amount of time, you know that my go to breakfast is either fruit and yogurt parfaits, smoothies (seriously the amount of smoothie recipes on this blog is crazy!) and that I would rather have a bowl of cereal and a glass of milk, over any other snack or dessert, when I get a late-night craving for something sweet.

With it being 100+ degrees here in Texas for several weeks months now, having cool, refreshing drinks and snacks on hand at all times is essential. Ice cold fruit (some of my summer favorites are watermelon, peaches, cherries and berries) and cold drinks are a constant and my smoothie game has never been stronger!

Not only are smoothies a delicious “no cook recipe” that I can whip up in minutes, they are a great way to use up some of that fresh summer produce that I occasionally buy too much of. Today’s smoothie recipe, this Peach Watermelon Smoothie, is a perfect example.

Recently I purchased a watermelon the size of Texas, so using it up when you have a smaller family can be a bit tricky. I’ve snacked on it cold, I served it as a side dish for dinner and I threw it into salads. Then I got wild and crazy and decided to start throwing watermelon in my smoothies.

Since I always use Greek yogurt and milk in my smoothies, I admit, when I first thought up this smoothie, I was a little bit hesitant on how a watermelon smoothie would taste, but I LOVED it, and have been making it every day since! The peaches and watermelon go so well together and while this smoothie is a little bit thinner than I would normally make it (due to the amount of water in the watermelon) it is SO good and reminds me of drinking flavored milk when I was a kid.

This creamy Peach Watermelon Smoothie recipe is a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer before they disappear and would make a great breakfast or after school snack for kids of all ages!

Helpful Tips and Information:
Food Fact: Dairy foods, including cow’s milk, cheese and yogurt, are packed with nine essential vitamins and nutrients (including vitamin A and D) and milk has 8 grams of protein per glass. In fact, you would have to drink 8 cups of almond milk to match the protein in just 1 cup of cow’s milk.

Cooking Tip: If milk is approaching the expiration date, freeze the milk to avoid waste. Freeze milk in ice cube trays and use milk ice cubes in smoothies to prevent watering down your smoothies with regular ice.

Milk can also be frozen in freezer safe food storage containers, just leave about one inch of space at the top of the container since liquids expand as they freeze. Allow milk frozen this way to thaw completely in the refrigerator and stir before using, as the milk solids may separate during the freezing/thawing process. Thawed milk should be used immediately and is best used in recipes. Milk can be stored in the freezer for 3-6 months.
