Key Ingredients & Substitutions

- Plain Yogurt (Greek or Regular): Adds creaminess and a protein boost. You can use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- Milk (Any Kind): Helps blend everything smoothly. Water, almond milk, or oat milk all work great.
- Honey or Maple Syrup: For a touch of extra sweetness. Adjust to your taste or omit if your peaches are very sweet.
