Glycemic Index (GI) Considerations
- Peaches have a low-to-moderate glycemic index, but the overall blood-sugar impact of the smoothie is moderated by pairing the fruit with protein, fat, and fiber from Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and almond milk.
- Choose unsweetened almond milk and Greek yogurt.
- Chia seeds contribute fiber, fat, and protein, helping slow digestion.
- Keep the peach to one medium serving rather than adding multiple fruits.
Portion Control Tips
- Keep the recipe to one serving rather than drinking a large smoothie.
- For tighter carbohydrate control, use ½–¾ of a peach and increase ice or Greek yogurt.
- Pair with a small handful of nuts if this is replacing a meal and you need additional satiety.
