Sometimes, I sneak dessert before dinner.* I get home from work a few minutes before my husband. This barely leaves me enough time to sneak a bite of sweet. When I’m lucky, he waters the garden, gets the mail, and chats with the neighbors. That gives me more time to indulge my sweet tooth.
I commonly reach for a chunk of dark chocolate. Or, a bite of whatever Dessert For Two creation we have laying around. This week, I’ve been alternating bites of almond flour snickerdoodles and these Peach Chai Froyo Shakes.
To make this 3-ingredient dessert, you’re going to need frozen yogurt, chai concentrate and a ripe peach. (And a noiseless blender so no one can hear you and judge you for eating dessert before dinner).
The combination of peach and chai is unexpected, but fresh and delicious. It’s like a summertime version of chai. The cinnamon and ginger flavors reminds me of peach pie.
I could get used to fresh fruit in my daily cup of chai. What am I going to do during winter when the peaches aren’t in season? Oh, right—that’s why we have pumpkin chai. Chai for all seasons!
*By sometimes, I mean only the days that end in ‘y.’

I usually hide my before dinner treats from the kids, but half the time I’m busted.
Love this shake! Call it a smoothie and it’s a totally healthy afternoon snack. ;)
That cookie recipe looks so great. I have to try them. I think you can count this as more of a drink and less of a dessert so I don’t think you have to be too worried. Plus it is yogurt and that is totally healthy. Just a little appetizer before dinner! Love the peach and chai combo!
You had me at chai!
No judgement here! Dessert before dinner sounds like the perfect plan to me, especially if these shakes are involved!
Oh yum! I am such a chai lover :) I must try this out it sounds too good to pass up!
