Ingredients
Instructions
- In a blender, blend together the peach yogurt and drained peaches.
- With the blender running, add ice cubes one at a time and blend until slushy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier slush, use full-fat peach yogurt or try Greek yogurt as a substitute. If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to use them instead of canned. Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or agave syrup if desired. For an extra zing, consider a splash of lemon juice. Remember to add the ice cubes gradually to achieve the perfect slushy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach slush in chilled glasses for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with Butterscotch Skedaddles for a delightful dessert combo. Consider garnishing with fresh mint or a slice of peach for an attractive presentation. This slush also makes a fun addition to summer barbecues or pool parties, offering a cool respite from the heat.
Storage & Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the slush in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then give it a quick blend to restore its slushy consistency. Consume within a week for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe! Just make sure they are thawed slightly before blending to achieve the right consistency. You may want to reduce the amount of ice you add since frozen peaches will already contribute to a slushy texture.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Absolutely! This peach slush is a kid-friendly treat. It's a fun way to encourage kids to enjoy fruit and yogurt. You can also adjust the sweetness to your preference, making it a healthy alternative to store-bought slushies or frozen treats.
How can I make this slush dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the peach yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, such as coconut or almond yogurt. Additionally, ensure that the canned peaches do not contain any dairy additives. This way, you can enjoy a delicious slush that fits a dairy-free diet.
