The Best Spiked Peach Milkshake for Game Day
It’s game day, y’all! As we get ready for the ultimate college game day, featuring the highly anticipated UT vs. Georgia matchup, what better way to celebrate than with some tailgating? In partnership with The Dairy Alliance, I’m excited to share some delicious recipes in honor of both teams, starting with milkshakes! Creating this recipe was so much fun, especially since I have a soft spot for both teams.
First up, in honor of the home team – Go Dawgs! – is my Spiked Peach Milkshake, perfect for tailgating at home or at Sanford Stadium. I chose peaches for this recipe, as Georgia is famously known for them, and a spiked milkshake seems just right for game day festivities.
Milk is the key ingredient, known for creating creamy, thick, and delicious milkshakes. But did you know milk is also excellent for hydration? It outperforms water and sports drinks, thanks to its natural electrolytes, carbohydrates, and protein. Milk is a powerhouse of calcium, vital for strong bones and teeth, and it’s rich in protein, supporting muscle growth and repair. Plus, milk provides energy as a natural source of 4 B vitamins, which is essential for staying energized during tailgating.

This recipe is versatile, allowing the use of oat milk, almond milk, or lactose-free milk to suit all preferences. And if you didn’t know, lactose-free milk is real milk, just without lactose, offering 8 grams of protein or more per serving. If peaches are out of season, frozen peaches are a great alternative.
