Nutritional Benefits of Peaches

Peaches are not only delicious, but they also offer a variety of nutrients that are important for growing kids and toddlers.

• Vitamin C – Like many fruits, peaches are full of vitamin C which is important for building a healthy immune system.
  
  
• Vitamin A – Peaches are a decent source of vitamin A, which is also important for the immune system and eye health.
  
  
• Fiber – Peaches are a great source of fiber, which promotes good digestion and gut health. I often recommend it for children who are struggling with constipation.

On top of all the health benefits, peaches are also naturally sweet when they are ripe. This means that you won’t have to add as much table sugar or artificial sweeteners in recipes that use ripe peaches.

It also makes a great first food for babies and the perfect snack for toddlers since it is so soft and quite easy to chew or mash up.

How to Store Make-Ahead Peach Recipes

While the exact storage recommendations will differ based on the recipe, many recipes made with peaches can be made ahead of time and then stored for convenience.

Here are some general guidelines:

Refrigerator Storage

• Typically lasts 3-5 days
• Store in airtight containers or mason jars
• When storing fresh, cut-up peaches make sure to add a squeeze of lemon so they won’t brown up easily
• Label with the date so you don’t forget when you prepped them

Freezer Storage

• Typically lasts 1-3 months
• Use freezer-safe containers or silicone trays
• Freeze on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a bag to avoid sticking
• Label everything with the name + date

Pantry Storage

• Store in a cool, dry pantry
• Keep in airtight containers or zip-top bags
• Add a paper towel to reduce moisture if needed

Notes & Suggestions for Making Peach Recipes

• Fresh peaches are ideal, but frozen peaches work well in most recipes too. Unless the recipe calls for it, I wouldn’t recommend using canned peaches since they’re often bathed in juice which may contain added sugars.
  
  
• Stick to low-sugar ingredients when possible
  
  
• Always check for added sugars or preservatives in store-bought items
  
  
• Many of these recipes are great for meal prep, but double check each recipe for instructions on how to store properly
  
  
• Most recipes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Frozen recipes last 1–2 months in freezer-safe containers
  
  
• Smoothie ingredients can be frozen in individual portions and blended fresh each day
