My THM-friendly recipe for Summer Peach sauce is a great topping for snacks, desserts, or breakfasts. It would go great on a pile of pancakes or waffles! As a health coach for women,I love finding cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes. My goal is to make it easy for my clients to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This peach sauce recipe is the first in a series of peach recipes I’ll be sharing. I come from a long line of peach-loving Californians. Summer childhood memories are filled with stops at the peach stand and homemade peach cobblers. Keep an eye out for my upcoming high-protein peach cobbler and peaches-and-cream popsicle recipes! I’ve been experimenting lots since picking up several bags of fresh peaches.

Benefits of the Summer Peach Sauce

It’s sugar-free and uses a natural sweetener alternative. Instead of sugar this recipe calls for stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that comes from a plant. My family actually used to have a stevia plant in our garden! So despite rumors flying around about this sweetener, I believe it’s a much safer alternative to many of the artificial sweeteners out there. See this page to learn more about it!
Peaches have benefits. According to healthline.com, peaches are full of antioxidants. They can help improve heart health, prevent cancer, and improve your skin.
It’s a carb, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
Energy boost! Consider putting this sauce on your breakfast. Good carbs are an especially good way to start your day! They give you that nice little burst of energy.
It’s quick and easy to make. Just put the three ingredients in the pot and let it cook for a while you work on other things. The recipe is even easier if you use frozen sliced peaches. This batch should be big enough to last for a week’s worth of snacks and breakfasts!

Put all of the ingredients in a small saucepan, cover with a lid, and turn heat to medium.

Health Benefits of the Creamy Banana Milkshake

It meets an ideal protein goal of 25g. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways.

The banana has benefits. Bananas are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
