Peach and Vanilla Drinking Breakfast

Tinned peaches, Greek yoghurt and full-cream milk blended thin enough to drink, with milk powder stirred in first so the glass carries protein and energy rather than only sweetness.

Ingredients

Why metric?

Metric avoids regional spoon ambiguity. US uses 5 mL tsp, 15 mL tbsp and 240 mL cup. Small masses stay in grams unless a verified recipe conversion exists. More on measurements

  • 1 tin peaches in juice, drained (250 g)
  • 250 g Greek-style yoghurt
  • 250 ml full-cream milk (258 g)
  • 80 g skim milk powder
  • 60 g honey
  • 3 g vanilla extract
  • 0.5 g ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Drain the peaches properly and leave the juice behind. It thins the glass more than you want and sweetens it more than you need.
  2. Put the milk in the blender first, add the milk powder and leave it a minute to hydrate. Powder added last sticks to the sides of the jug and ends up as grit in the bottom of the glass.
  3. Add the peaches, yoghurt, honey, vanilla and cinnamon and blend a full minute, until no fruit texture is left anywhere and the surface has gone pale and even.
  4. Pour into two glasses. It should run off a tilted spoon in an unbroken stream; if it holds its shape at all, add milk 20 ml at a time until it stops doing so.
  5. The full-cream milk and Greek yoghurt are deliberate. These recipes keep fat moderate in the solid meals and spend a little more of it here, where it arrives in liquid form.
  6. Drink it slowly rather than straight down, and keep the second glass covered in the fridge; it separates on standing and comes back together with a stir.
  7. This is the lightest breakfast in the set, so it belongs on a day where something small lands mid-morning too. A glass of milk with a heaped tablespoon of milk powder whisked into it is around 200 kcal and takes a minute to make.
