Description
A creamy, nostalgic peach milkshake that replicates the Chick-fil-A experience at home. This versatile recipe serves as a base for quick lunches and meal prep, offering a balance of tart peach flavor and rich dairy creaminess.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups ripe peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup peach nectar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, if using fresh peaches)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: If using fresh, wash, pit, and chop into rough chunks. If using frozen, let sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Measure 1.5 cups.
- Combine wet ingredients: Pour milk, peach nectar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend on low to mix, then scrape down sides.
- Add solids: Add the vanilla ice cream and chopped peaches to the blender. Do not overfill.
- Blend: Start on low, gradually increase to high. Blend for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust: Check consistency and sweetness. Add more milk if too thick, or honey/sugar if not sweet enough.
- Portion for meal prep: Pour into airtight containers, leaving an inch of headspace. Store in fridge for up to 2 days or freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
For meal prep, this base can be stored for 2 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer. If frozen, thaw for 10 minutes before blending again. To make it a meal replacement, add a scoop of protein powder. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free ice cream and almond/oat milk.
