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 love me some chai. You can’t really go wrong.
This sounds soooo good! Love it!
Thankfully The.Boy gets home a few hours after I do, so I have plenty of time to sneak sweet treats into my afternoon! This frozen yogurt shake is definitely going on the rotation. Chai flavors are like comfort food to my sweet tooth.
This sounds yummy. Enjoy these while you can, because once the little ones come, trying to sneak in snacks gets much harder. I have a dumb question. What is chai concentrate? Where is it in the grocery? Remember, we live in the middle of a cornfield, so some things are harder to locate. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Momma Swope!
Not a dumb question at all. Chai concentrate is in the tea section, usually in a box. It’s a liquid. Starbucks makes a widely-available one, and so does Oregon chai. I’ve found it at target. It’s on the bottom shelf by the teas :)
Thank you! I wondered if it would be with the teas. I’ll look at Kroger’s the next time I head there, because I want to try this. :)
This looks so good, I would be snacking with this everyday. Oh wait, now I can!! Thank you!
I’m always sneaking sweets too! But technically this is just yogurt and a serving of fruit, right ;)
Ha, I am totally guilty of sneaking in dessert before dinner. Though is it something to feel guilty about? I mean, we’re just making sure it tastes good enough to have AFTER dinner again, right? ;) This shake sounds delicious!
I like the way you think, Stephanie! I’m just taste testing before everyone else eats it. Yessss :)
I love cinnamon and peaches, but I bet the chai is even better. Bring on the spice!
Great combination. Now I want this for breakfast!
I love pre-dinner dessert! And this shake is just screaming “driiiiiiiink me!”. I need one!
Love the idea of adding fresh peaches to chai! I think we might be skipping dinner tonight and going straight to dessert!
I’m so excited to try this shake! Sounds like an amazing combination.And I’m glad you like the snickerdoodles!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE iced chai. This looks absolutely PERFECT!!
Teehee, keep on sneakin’ sweets, we won’t tell on you. Good thing you’ve got a sweet, gentlemanly hubby who is friendly to the neighbors ;-)
YUM! I love chai and i love peaches BUT I also had the most amazing peach pie ice cream last week. And this reminds me of it! We would all be lying if we didn’t admit to having dessert before dinner!
Yum! My fiance gets home before I do so once I’m in the door it’s all about making dinner…he’s the lucky one who snacks before I arrive! :-)
haha! I need a noisless blender!.This sounds so dang good and refreshing!
Nothing wrong with a little dessert before dinner! I love chai, but I hadn’t thought to combine it with peaches — sounds amazing! I will definitely have to try this.
Oh, holy yum! These need to happen…
What a great idea! And I love that you sneak dessert before your husband comes home :)
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!
