This Healthy Peach Crisp Smoothie is a healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert! 
This is a very deceiving smoothie. It tastes like peach crisp. Yes, liquid peach crisp. You will gulp it down and feel like you are drinking your dessert. But really it’s a healthy, filling breakfast. Crazy, right?
Even though it tastes like dessert, you’re getting a lot of good stuff in this smoothie. The peaches make it packed with vitamin C. You’re also getting tons of fiber from dates and whole grains. The whole grains come in the form of cooked oatmeal. Yep, I put cooked oatmeal right in the smoothie. They give the genuine taste of peach crisp, add bulk to the smoothie, and make it very filling. A lot of smoothie recipes include raw oats, but I don’t think that’s the best idea for digestion, so I stick with cooked oatmeal in my smoothies these days.
Using frozen peaches creates a thick and creamy smoothie with undiluted peach flavor. The strong peach flavor is complimented by cinnamon and vanilla notes that complete the whole peach crisp package. This is peach crisp in a glass. Enjoy.

June 10, 2018 at 5:18 pmHi this recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! I was wondering though what could I use as a substitute for sucanat? If I can I’d like to use what I have in the house – which is pure maple syrup, agave, and coconut sugar. Would any of those options be a good substitute?
Thank you!!
Kindly
Stephanie

Made this today and substituted carrot juice for the water and added a banana. It’s super delicious and my 12 year old loved it, too! Thank you for the recipe.
