Most peach recipes focus on jams or pies, but today I want to introduce a frozen spin— a peach slushie that’s not just sweet but surprisingly sophisticated. It’s my secret weapon for scorching summer days when even the shade feels too warm. Mixing icy, juicy peaches with a hint of zest, it delivers a cool, refreshing burst every time.
What makes this slushie stand out is how it transforms a simple fruit into a complex, layered treat. Imagine biting into that silky, fragrant peach, then feeling a chill that sparks a little chaos in your senses. It’s an unexpected delight that keeps me reaching for more, even after the last sip.

- Peel the peaches if desired, then cut them into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Add the peach chunks, ice cubes, lemon zest, and honey into the blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-45 seconds.
