Peach smoothies usually drink flat and sugary. A teaspoon of fresh grated ginger fixes that: it gives the sweetness an edge to push against.

With yogurt and protein powder together this is another 35-plus gram glass, and it still tastes like summer.

This is number 17 of our top 20 high protein, low carb smoothies.

method

Pour the liquid into the blender, add the peaches, ginger, yogurt and protein powder.
Add the ice. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust: a few more ice cubes for thicker, a splash more liquid for thinner. Drink cold.

chef's tips

Keep a knob of ginger in the freezer; it grates finer frozen and never goes off.
Frozen peaches are picked ripe and are more reliable than most fresh ones.
Use a protein powder with no added sugar. It is the difference between 3 and 15 grams of carbs per scoop.
