Ingredients:
1 cup sliced peaches
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup dry milk powder
1/2 cup club soda
Put peaches, yogurt and dry milk powder in a blender until smooth. Pour into three glasses and add club soda. Gently mix into peach mixture.
If you want to rim the glass, here are some good suggestions from chowhound.chow.com:
Idea #1. Use a sweet little orange, clementine, or mandarin…cut a tiny wedge, put a small, shallow slit in it, and rim the glass/plastic cup with it. I would suggest smushing/rolling the piece of fruit, prior to slicing so it give a bit more juice…just don’t make it super sloppy. As long as you’re not “mashing” your piece of fruit around the rim, it should be just fine.
Idea #2. I use two little plates, one with water in it (lime juice would be fine) and one with sugar in it, as he had. I dip the glass (upside down of course) straight into the liquid, then straight down into the sugar like he did, but then I give it a tiny twist because I like a lot of sugar on my glass, and that gets any extra spots.
