Rich and creamy Peach Pie Protein Shake packed full of protein and tastes like a slice of peach pie in a glass!

How is that recipe title for a tongue twister?!  Say that 10 times fast!  I was SO excited to spend some time this month creating a fun recipe using Friendship Dairies cottage cheese for two reasons: 1.  It’s National Dairy Month, and 2. Friendship Dairies is a somewhat local company for me (only a two hour drive from Rochester)!  There is nothing better than fresh fruit in the summer and I love picking up some juicy peaches at the farmer’s market on the weekends here in Rochester.  I decided to combine some fresh peaches with cottage cheese to create the ultimate protein shake.  The combination might sound weird, but you just have to trust me on this one (just this once).  The cottage cheese really gives it that creamy consistency!

Friendship Dairies Cottage Cheese

I picked up this cottage cheese at Wegmans one day and it honestly tasted better than any cottage cheese I have ever had.  Friendship Dairies cottage cheese is known as the Original Superfood and is high in protein (1% milkfat has 15g per serving and 2% has 14g).  It is a good source of sustainable energy at any time of the day!  They have held the title of a “superfood original” since 1917.  This cottage cheese is so versatile and you can mix it up with just about anything for a healthy treat (as I did in this Peach Pie Protein Shake).  Hello protein and hello vitamin C!

Friendship Dairies Superfood GeneratorThis Peach Pie Protein Shake is a treat for your taste buds any time of the day!  I had it as an afternoon beverage, but it would be perfect for an after-workout recovery drink, a healthy breakfast (as a meal replacement), or a mid-day snack.  Check the consistency of the shake before pouring into serving glasses. If you find it not to be your desired thickness, then add more milk or ice cubes to dilute it.  Enjoy this shake and happy dairy month to all!
