I have been soaking up peach season and stocking up on fresh South Carolina peaches weekly.
My favorite way to eat peaches is peel, slice and enjoy them plain (I’m not a peach fuzz lover…I need that off my peach before eating it!) But I also love to get creative with them…grilled peaches with ice cream, peach cobbler, peach crisp, peach cake, peach carrot bread, peach sauce for chicken or pork…there’s so much to do with them!
Fresh Peach Greek Frozen Yogurt
One thing I haven’t done with my peaches yet is make ice cream. I have the ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid Mixer but haven’t used it in years. I decided it was time to change that and used some peaches that were on their last leg to make fresh peach frozen yogurt with Greek yogurt.
The recipe features just four ingredients…peaches, plain Greek yogurt, cane sugar and lemon juice. You can also add a shot of vodka to the mix if you want your frozen yogurt to stay a little softer in the freezer.
The first step is to puree all the ingredients together in a blender or food processor. I used my Vitamix. I would like to take a second to encourage you to use fresh peaches if possible for this recipe and 2% or full-fat yogurt. You really need that creaminess for the frozen yogurt and you don’t get it from the fat free stuff.
And then freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker. Since it had been so long since I broke out my ice cream attachment, I totally forgot that the bowl had to freeze for 15 hours. I was a little heartbroken to have to wait another day once I had my mind set that I was going to have fresh frozen yogurt!
The result is creamy, tangy peach frozen yogurt that you can store in your freezer in an airtight container to enjoy on these hot summer days. It’s softest right out of the ice cream maker so after it’s frozen give it some time to soften a bit before serving.

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
