Peach Pie Smoothie

This peach pie smoothie tastes like a melted slice of the best peach pie in a glass.

Those of you who have been following me for a while are aware of my penchant for pie-in-a-glass smoothies. My apple pie, pecan pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, blueberry pie, and lemon cheesecake smoothies are s’blended.

I love pie-in-a-glass smoothies because they satisfy a craving for a piece of pie without the need to bake. They’re also healthier.

The secret to nailing the buttery pasty flavor of vegan pie smoothie is to blend in raw cashews and rolled oats. Then add your fruit and your aromatics. I’m using cinnamon and nutmeg, and I always add a splash of vanilla extract. As peaches vary in quality, the dried apricots punch up the peachy flavor. You could also use canned peaches in natural juice and add ice. Frozen peaches (even those frozen at the peak of ripeness and flavor) often lack the depth of flavor required. You may find you need to add 3 cups of frozen peaches to get the peachy flavor that you want. Peaches vary so dramatically in quality.

For the smoothest texture (particularly with a conventional blender) soak your cashews in filtered water for 2 hours then drain (and discard the soaking liquid), or cover with boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain. I also soak the rolled oats to soften them, and soak the dried apricots to make them pulverize more easily. Enjoy!

I made this 3 times this week (so far!). So delicious and a great way to use Jersey fresh peaches I get at my local farm stand. This one is going into heavy rotation.

Yum! I love the idea of adding dried apricot for extra flavor and sweetness – genius! I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp each nutmeg and ginger because i was craving a bit of spice. Your smoothie recipes are always so good – thank you!!
