While I may live in Minnesota where we have 4 seasons, I actually live life for 2 seasons: peach season and not peach season.

Unfortunately here in Minnesota we don’t have local peach orchards, but I always stock up on boxes of Colorado peaches that are shipped here every July and August. During those months I eat as many peaches as I can and freeze the rest to make peach smoothies!

It’s actually pretty easy to freeze peaches (I’ll show you how below!), but this peach smoothie recipe can be made with fresh or frozen peaches. In the summer, I tend to use fresh, but occasionally find myself craving a peach smoothie in the middle of winter (meaning NOT peach season), where I’ll turn to my beloved frozen peaches.

how to freeze peaches

Storing fresh summer peaches in the freezer is one of the best ways to enjoy peaches all year long.

Simply cut the peaches into wedges and spread them evenly on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Squeeze some lemon juice on your peach slices so they don’t brown, and then place the baking sheet directly in the freezer.

Freeze for 4 hours then remove slices and place in a ziplock bag. Store for 3-6 months.
