Ingredients for 1 serving
Check off ingredients as you go.
Contains gluten, milk. Check the labels on packaged ingredients:
- rolled oats. UK allergen law lists oats among the cereals containing gluten. If you avoid gluten, buy oats labelled gluten-free.
Cooking steps
Pour the milk into the blender jug, add the oats and leave for 5 minutes to soften.
Add the skyr, the sliced peach and the vanilla. There is no need to peel the peach; the blender takes care of the skin.
Blend on high for about 1 minute, until smooth and the oats can no longer be felt.
Pour into a glass. If the peach was not frozen, it will be cool rather than cold; chill the skyr and milk beforehand for a colder glass.
The useful detail
Flavour here depends almost entirely on the peach. A ripe one gives slightly at the stem and smells of peach; an underripe one tastes of nothing once blended. Out of season, frozen peach slices are the better choice.
Make it work for you
One serving is One glass, about 400 ml. You can switch to a smaller portion in the ingredients above; it is three quarters of this, and it contains correspondingly less energy and protein. It is an option, not a goal.

The skyr carries nearly all of the protein. The peach and oats bring the fibre and the gentler sweetness; nothing sweet is added.

Show calculation notes
Each ingredient’s weight is multiplied by its USDA FoodData Central values per 100 g. The whole recipe is added up and divided by 1. Raw weights are used for meat, fish and vegetables; beans and lentils are drained weights. All of the oil is counted as eaten. Added salt is not included; sodium from stock, bread, cheese and tinned food is.

Storage and reheating
- In the fridge
- Best drunk straight away. If you keep it, cover it and refrigerate within 2 hours, and drink it within 24 hours; it separates, so shake or stir it first. The oats will thicken it; loosen it with a splash of milk.
- Reheating
- Not for reheating. Serve cold.
Checked against US Food and Drug Administration, Refrigerator and Freezer Storage Chart, USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, Leftovers and Food Safety, FoodSafety.gov, Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures and FoodSafety.gov, Cold Food Storage Chart. UK guidance from the Food Standards Agency is shorter, at two days for most leftovers.
