Milkshakes have become a regular treat in our house this summer. I’ve had our milkshake glasses for many years now but they are just now getting lots of use.Â
This version I made with the last lone peach in the fruit basket on my counter. When in doubt of what to do with over-ripe fruit or the only one left, make a milkshake!
This fresh peach milkshake has an extra kick of vanilla making it extra rich in flavor.
It seems whenever I buy fruit, doesn’t matter what kind of fruit, there always seems to be one left that no one will eat. I honestly have no idea why and if anyone can shed some light on this topic, I’d love to hear about it.
So that’s how this milkshake was born. One lone peach, but it’s OK. Overripe fruit is sweeter lending itself to being perfect for use in smoothies and milkshakes.
Bananas are another good example. Maybe too ripe to eat but just right for quick breads or muffins too.

And I have peaches! They’re one of my favorite fruits next to pears. Peaches are super sweet and perfect in this milkshake.
This looks delicious!
Big milkshake fans here. Can’t wait to try this!
My kids are super picky but love milkshakes. I think I’m going to make them a peach milkshake and use it as a gateway to eating the fruit.
The same thing happens at work with the last cookie or donut or whatever! 😉 A milkshake is a perfect way to make that last piece of fruit disappear!
I love milkshakes and can’t wait to try this one!
