Peaches eaten right from the tree with the juice dripping down to your elbow reminds me of being a kid again. My Dad has always grown peaches and having a peach as an adult reminds me of all the peaches I ate right from our trees as a kid. It's just what you do in late summer. When Chris brought in a box of peaches picked right from her tree, I couldn't wait to enjoy one and then another. This morning I got carried away and I made 4 different peach recipes for breakfast. My girls throughly enjoyed having mom serve them breakfast.
Summertime Peach Protein Shake
- 2 peaches, sliced in half, pit removed
- 1 scoop Beverly International UMP Graham Cracker flavor (I think I'll try Angel Food Cake tomorrow)
- 8 ounces water
- dash of nutmeg
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- Ice
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Mix until smooth and enjoy.
Breakfast Peach Crisp (I am sure this would taste good anytime of the day)
For the filling:
- slice peaches
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- tiny sprinkle of nutmeg
For the crumble topping
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 2 teaspoon almond flour
- 1 Tablespoon of walnuts
- dash of salt
- dash of cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
To make the filling slice enough peaches to fill a custard cup. I used just over 1 peach in each cup. Divide the rest of the ingredients between 2 custard cups and sprinkle over peaches.
In a separate bowl mix all the crumble topping ingredients together. It will be clumpy. Divide it between the two bowls. Be careful your bowls will be very full. Place both bowls in the microwave and cook on high for 4 1/2 minutes. If you prefer to bake in your oven, preheat to 350 degrees and then bake for 30 minutes. Be careful when you take these out, they are hot.
Peaches with a Protein Punch
- sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop Beverly International vanilla yogurt
- sprinkle of cinnamon
Fill a ramekin with your sliced peaches. No need to peal the peaches. In a separate bowl mix the yogurt and protein powder together. Top peaches with this mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon. This can also be made in a small mason jar and stored in the fridge to be eaten later or brought to work.
A Peachy Dessert (or a Breakfast treat)
- Peaches cut in half, pit removed
- balsamic vinegar
- olive oil
Heat a grill to medium high heat. Wipe the grates on the grill with olive oil. Lay the peaches cut side down on the grill. In about 4 minutes check them to see if they are warmed and contain grill marks. Remove from the grill. Lightly sprinkle with balsamic vinegar. You won't need much to offset the sweetness of the peaches.
I won't tell a sole if you eat these for breakfast alongside an omelet.
Enjoy Good Food,
