Small Town Summer: Peach Milkshakes

Between my 40 + hour a week internship, cooking, blogging, and living, I also held a part time job this summer at a local orchard and farm stand. I have worked at this orchard on and off since I was sixteen.

Over the years this farm stand has evolved into an attraction complete with a corn maze, apple, blueberry, and pumpkin picking, etc. With that, the owners soon built a kitchen for their customers who wanted the full experience. And in comes today's recipe.

Peach Milkshakes.



Pretty much everything from the kitchen is delicious including Barbeque Pork and Chicken Sandwiches with Homemade Apple Barbeque Sauce, homemade pickles, and freshly made Blueberry Donuts and Apple Cider Donuts.

Every time I have worked there this summer, I have gotten a peach milkshake. It is delicious and refreshing and is perfect for hot summer days.

And while this might not require a recipe, the sweet summer treat definitely requires a try.
For a healthier version, try low fat vanilla frozen yogurt, but please for your own sake, only use fresh peaches, canned peaches are a crime against nature. I’m talking to you, college students.

Peach Milkshakes: makes two milkshakes


Ingredients:
3 Ripe Peaches
4-5 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream
Fat Free Milk to taste

Directions:



Peel and chop peaches and put in a bowl (or blender.)


Scoop ice cream and add to the peaches.


Blend the mixture until smooth without any chunks.

If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk and stir.


Serve and relax!

This is definitely what I refer to as a “college friendly” recipe. If you don’t have a blender, don’t worry, just find the guy on your floor that serves the margaritas and ask to borrow it. Clean thoroughly first. Or better yet, borrow one from your RA or get them to make some for you as a program. As a former Resident Assistant, we are just happy you are not mixing up daiquiris!

This is a good one for the rest of you too, and kids love them!

Enjoy!
