This peach blueberry smoothie without yogurt uses the same ingredient in my keto blueberry smoothie to make a high protein drink. Yes, we’re bringing back the cottage cheese.
I know it sounds strange to put cottage cheese in a smoothie, but as long as you blend it well, you can’t tell it’s there. Just make sure to blend this peach blueberry protein smoothie thoroughly. You want to keep the “smooth” in your smoothie!
BTW, if you love blueberries and peaches as much as I do, you might also enjoy my peach blueberry overnight oats. This flavor combination has me looking forward to my morning oatmeal!
🍑 Peach Blueberry Smoothie Benefits
This smoothie could work as part of a light breakfast or a snack because it is more nutrient-dense than your typical smoothie. Here are some benefits of this peach blueberry smoothie:
- Options for no added sugar: You can choose to skip the white sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, fruit concentrates, etc. Sweeten this smoothie with sugar-free maple syrup or dates. (Learn the details for each option in the recipe card below!)
- Uses whole blended fruits, not fruit juices which have been stripped of fiber. Whole fruits are also rich in certain antioxidants, particularly vitamin C and provitamin A.
- Easy: Just throw everything in a high-speed blender or a food processor and blend. That’s it! You don’t need to chop and peel fruit or do any other preparation.
- Cheap: If you’ve been buying the Panera Peach Blueberry Smoothie with Almond Milk at almost $6, this recipe will save you money. The frozen fruits used in this recipe tend to be inexpensive year-round. You don’t have to wait for seasonal fruits (though you can if you want).
- Gluten free blueberry smoothie: This peach smoothie is naturally gluten free. (And I have tips to make it dairy free or vegan in the FAQs below.)
- Blueberry lavender smoothie recipe: While the research is limited on the use of lavender for calming or reducing stress in anxiety, lavender is tasty in smoothies. You can experiment with adding a little culinary lavender as I did, or omit it if you’d prefer.
The idea here was to pack in nutrient-dense foods while skipping sources of empty calories. And of course, the smoothie needed to pass the family taste test as well. I hope you’ll agree that one of the biggest benefits of this smoothie recipe is that it’s delicious!
⭐ Blueberry Peach Smoothie Ingredients
With a well-stocked freezer, you may not need to do much shopping for this recipe. Here’s what you need to make a smoothie with peaches and blueberries:
- Frozen blueberries
- Frozen peaches
- Cottage cheese
- Ice cubes
- Cold water
- Maple syrup (or sugar-free syrup, for added sugar free)
- Culinary lavender (optional)
(Get specific quantities of ingredients in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
I prefer to use full-fat cottage cheese for this recipe (4% milkfat) because it makes the smoothie extra creamy. If you can find the cottage cheese with extra cream (6% milkfat) that’s even better.
A whole food alternative to maple syrup is to use 3 pitted Medjool dates. Let the dates sit in 3 tablespoons boiling water for 10 minutes, then blend them (with the water) into smooth date paste.
The edible lavender I use in this peach blueberry smoothie is available on Amazon here. If you can’t find it locally, pick some up online, and come along on this culinary adventure with me!
I recommend using a food processor to blend smoothies. I think that they do a nicer job blending smoothies than most of the blenders I’ve owned in the past. A high-powered blender works too, but they tend to cost a lot more money than a food processor.
🫐 How to Make a Peach Blueberry Smoothie
Here are the steps for making peach blueberry smoothies:
Place the blueberries, peaches, cottage cheese, cold water, ice, syrup, and lavender into a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Blend a little longer than you typically might for a smoothie to ensure the cottage cheese and ice are thoroughly blended in.
Taste the smoothie and add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup if you like it sweeter. (I always skip this, but wanted to include the option for those with a sweet tooth.)
Pour the smoothie into tall glasses or wide-mouth mason jars and serve immediately with wide straws.
🌡 How to Save Smoothie for Later
Use leftover smoothie to make ice pops! Pour leftovers into these popsicle molds, and freeze overnight. Smoothies melt and separate in the fridge, so freezing them into popsicles is the best way to enjoy them later.

Peach Blueberry Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen chopped peaches
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat, 4-6% milkfat)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sugar free syrup)
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 cup cold water
- ¼ teaspoon dried culinary lavender (optional)
Instructions
- Place the blueberries, peaches, cottage cheese, cold water, ice, syrup, and lavender into a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Blend a little longer than you typically might for a smoothie to ensure the cottage cheese and ice are thoroughly blended in.
- Taste the smoothie and add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup if you like it sweeter. (I always skip this, but wanted to include the option for those with a sweet tooth.)
- Pour the smoothie into tall glasses or wide-mouth mason jars and serve immediately with wide straws.
- Added sugar free option: Pour 3 tablespoons boiling water over 3 fresh (pitted and chopped) Medjool dates. Let sit for 10 minutes. Put the dates and water into a mini chopper and blend into a smooth date paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the chopper with a spatula several times because the dates will stick to the sides. Use the date paste as a substitute for the maple syrup in this recipe.

Notes
💭 Expert Tips from Dietitian Summer Yule
This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). At over 200 calories per serving, this smoothie works as a big snack or as part of a small meal. To lighten things up, try using low-fat cottage cheese rather than 4% or 6%. You could also use sugar-free maple syrup instead of real maple syrup. Cottage cheese is one of my favorite ways to add protein to smoothies. However, at only 14.5 grams protein per serving, this smoothie is a bit low in protein for a full meal. To make this smoothie with peaches and blueberries a small meal, add a little more protein on the side. You’re already getting lots of carbs and some healthy fats from the fruit and dairy (respectively). You could also add some grain group foods (such as toast) if you have higher energy needs. I love dates as a way to add sweetness to recipes without added sugars. However, though they provide more nutrients than white sugar, they’re not a lower-calorie option. Using sugar free syrup is the sweetener to go with if you want a low-calorie peach smoothie for weight loss. Using sugar free syrup will save you about 40-50 calories per serving compared to maple syrup. And sugar free maple syrup saves about 100 calories per serving compared to the Medjool date option. Nutrition information is for one serving of the recipe made with full-fat cottage cheese and real maple syrup.

Oh wow, Summer – peaches and blueberries…together? Big time yum! Way to unite early summer glory with late summer glory in one perfect concoction.
I love, too, how the blueberries totally took over the color charts. Aggressive little superfoods, aren’t they?
Not to make light of your predicament, but if power outages mean creations like this, I hope the electricity is off forever. Don’t worry, when I make my first billion I’m hiring you as my cook, and you and your family can come live on the estate.
Hahaha, thank you for thinking of us when you become rich. Make sure to get a whole estate generator! lol I made this one before we lost power. I mean, I guess I could have hooked the food processor to the generator… connecting the lights, etc to do the video would have been a pain.
I’ve learned that practically anything made with blueberries takes on that blue color. They are like the beets of the fruit world in that way. 🙂
