Blend this Banana Peach Smoothie during the height of peach season for the tastiest peach smoothie you'll ever savor. You can also use frozen peaches, which have been picked at their peak and frozen to lock in the nutrients.
Peaches are a true gift. There's nothing quite like finding a perfectly ripe peach, then taking it over to the kitchen sink to devour it, juice dripping down your chin, relishing every sweet bite. This is also exactly why I love blending with peaches.
When is the best season to use peaches in a smoothie?
Of course, using peaches during the height of peach season is ideal (late spring, early summer). Yet this banana peach smoothie can easily be made with frozen peaches. Slice up + freeze a bunch of peaches during harvest time, then enjoy a little bit of summer all year long.
Low sugar smoothie (but not when it comes to flavor)
Peaches and bananas are both low on the glycemic scale. This makes them a good choice for anyone watching their blood sugar. (Always check first with your health professional if you are a diabetic!) Both fruits also contain dietary fiber. Fiber can slow down the absorption of fruit sugar into your blood stream, then give you a more steady energy boost.
I start sounding like a commercial going on and on about fiber, but is it SO important for your health - both for heart health and staying "regular."
Gut health is important, so eat and drink up all the fiber-rich fruit and veggies in this banana peach smoothie! They're nature's scrubbing brush.
Fiber-ful recipes
Here are a few great recipes that can help boost your fiber intake:
- Chocolate fiber smoothie cubes
- Chia seed smoothie
- Strawberry carrot smoothie
- Avocado banana smoothie
- Chocolate protein shake
A diet rich in fiber can lower the risk of Type II diabetes, heart disease, and many types of cancer. So grab one of these fiber-filled smoothies and drink to your health!
Turn your peach smoothie into a meal
Because this is a low-cal smoothie, it's not a great meal replacement on its own. Upgrade this banana peach smoothie to a quick + easy meal by adding a scoop of protein powder, chia or hemp seeds, or nut butter.
To stay full and feel satisfied for longer, check out our popular Green Smoothie Meal Replacement Guide.
For example, you can add ¼ of an avocado, use ½ cup coconut milk for some of the water, add a tablespoon of MCT oil, or your fav healthy fat.
If you don't like bananas or can't eat them, feel free to substitute avocado for the banana or use another banana replacement.
Quite often the simplest of smoothies are the best ones. This Banana Peach Smoothie is no exception. Use simple, healthy ingredients... your tastebuds and your body will thank you!

I'm not normally a peach fan, but fresh peaches sure make this yummy!
Kimberly
This may be my new Fav.
Erin
Banana tends to spike my blood sugar, yet I added Smoothie Boost to this recipe and it really helped keep my levels stable. Thanks!
Kim
I can't wait for peach season, so I can put this recipe back in my rotation!
Amanda
Peach season is around the corner - this recipe is definitely going to be on repeat!
Sloane Grey
I loved this one! I blended with almond milk instead of water, and it was very delicious and very peachy!
Simple Green Smoothies
Swapping out water for almond milk is a great choice, Sloane. Makes the smoothie a little creamier + a little more protein. Rawk on!
Janice
Peach is good and I will try it again with a different type of peach in hopes of a more peach flavor. Since this is my new breakfast with the protein smoothie powder each morning.
Lynne
I’ve made this one on my own and I LOVE peaches but the flavor doesn’t seem to come through so not a big fan. I’d rather make a berry one or the orange one. I can’t wait to make the cinnamon one!!
Simple Green Smoothies
This is def all about trying diff recipes and flavors to find what you love. Way to blend new things, Lynne!
Gloria
Love this recipe, it was a great way to use my frozen peaches.
Bonnie Clyne
Like the other recipes I've tried from this blog so far, there is no spinach taste, which is great for me! I used frozen peaches and a fresh but not super-ripe banana. I didn't find this one to have a lot of flavor, but like the other recipes, this might be improved by using fresh and/or more ripe fruit.
Simple Green Smoothies
For sure! Let us know what you think when you blend again with fresh peaches and a ripe banana, Bonnie.
Alan Mueller
pretty good but would add more peaches and replace banana with avocado
Alannah
I loved how simple this smoothie is, but still tastes great! Also, not as sweet as I thought it would be which I liked.
Betty
This was a refreshing drink, but not as flavorful or dense as I would like. I didn’t have any bananas, so left that out & peaches aren’t in season yet, so used frozen. I’m sure a banana & fresh peaches would make a difference.
Simple Green Smoothies
Def give it another blend with some fresh peaches and banana. We think you'll love it!
Amanda Hawkins
This tastes good.
Judy Thigpenn
It was a good refreshing smoothie but will use fresh peaches the next time I make this. Not much flavor.
Shirley
I loved this one, the peach banana combo really satisfied my sweet tooth.
Janice
The peach took away the strong tang of the spinach. I have a strong sense of taste. Raw spinach is as green as I’ve been able to go when adding to smoothies. This is a great tasting smoothie!
Jessica
I really enjoyed this smoothie! Very simple and delicious! Will definitely be making this again!
V J
I loved the hint of peach taste I had. Might be even better with a fresh peach instead of frozen.
Simple Green Smoothies
Fresh peach or adding in another stone fruit like nectarine will def up that flavor for you VJ. Thanks for giving it a blend!
Renee Shafer
I was thoroughly surprised at how delicious this smoothie was. I added a scoop of protein to make it a complete meal. Will definitely be making this one again.
Jen
I love this smoothie!! It’s a great one to start off with!
Erin Burd
Love, love, loved this. I added Almond Milk. It felt fresh.
Simple Green Smoothies
Yay!! Almond milk def makes for a creamier smoothie. Way to swap in some additional protein that way too!
Janice Sommers
I substituted mango for the peach. The smoothie was more bland than the usual smoothies I make.
Simple Green Smoothies
Def increase banana or add a bit more mango next time to up that yummy factor and let us know what you think!
Karen
I love how simple this smoothie is but it didn't have much flavor. I guess the frozen peaches don't have as much flavor as fresh ones!
Sharon
First green smoothie with these simple ingredients. And I have to say, I like it. LOL Ready to try the next one.
Simple Green Smoothies
Way to blend it Sharon! You're a rawkstar now!
Heather
I think I will try this with fresh peaches when they are in season. Wasn’t bad, but not my most favorite as I couldn’t taste the peaches.
Luis Mejia
Couldn't taste the peaches I just tasted the peanut butter that I put in..
Simple Green Smoothies
Peanut butter is def a way to grab some more protein, Luis. Yet it will totally take over a peach any time! 😉
Simple Green Smoothies
Def give it another blend with those fresh peaches and tell us what ya think, Heather. 🙂
Michelle
Thought this was a very good start to the smoothie challenge. Very refreshing blend! I enjoyed it.
Cori Dennhardt
This was really good! You would never guess it was low calorie. I made it a meal replacement and it kept my satisfied all morning!
Simple Green Smoothies
Rawk on Cori!
Toni
Yum - very refreshing
LaCell
This was a delicious smoothie. Mu while family enjoyed it. It went from Uuhh! I’ll try it to this is great.
Simple Green Smoothies
Way to win your family over!! 🙂
Dora Suarez
Simply refreshing, I used frozen peaches and frozen banana chunks (I freeze my bananas peeled when they start to over ripen) but may have added a little extra water as it didn't come out as thick as others. Regardless it was delicious and a great lunch on the go.
Hope
I didn’t love the taste of this one - it was kinda bland. It tasted too much like banana and not peach. My banana was pretty ripe, so that could’ve helped to mask the taste of the peaches. However, it was refreshing and light, which I enjoyed. I had it in the evening and found myself full; the consistency/thickness was great.
Simple Green Smoothies
So glad you gave this a try, Hope! Next time, you can def add more peach or even try fresh peaches for a stronger flavor.
Kim Hoffman
Day 1 of challenge! Off to a good start. The peach smoothie was delicious and satisfying, Kept me going all morning. I was surprised with how thick the consistency was. I did add my favorite protein powder.
maria thomas
This is a simple yet delicious smoothie! I never really use peaches in my smoothie. Thanks to this challenge, I have a new fave!
Linda
I am new to the smoothie world. My daughters have been making smoothies for a long time, so I know they can taste delicious. I made todays smoothie following the recipe, but it tasted too green for me. Maybe more banana or peaches would have tasted better to me. I am looking forward to tomorrow's recipe. I love cherries!
Simple Green Smoothies
Love that you're here with us Linda! Def feel free to back off the spinach a touch if needed as you get used to having it smoothies. Can't wait to hear what you think of tomorrow's Mixed Berry smoothie!
Holly
I liked this smoothie! A great way to start the challenge. It was tart & refreshing. I added some extra frozen banana because I needed a little extra sweetness today 😉
Toni Holle
Loved the smoothie. Used frozen peaches, found it very refreshing.
Rachelle McCann
I liked this smoothie, but I think I needed riper peaches. I have a bag of frozen, and they weren’t very sweet, but I still enjoyed the smoothie.
Eunice
I love peach desserts but not so crazy about it in a smoothie.
Simple Green Smoothies
Thanks for giving it a blend, Eunice!
Ruby
I subbed kale. Quite refreshing, but maybe my frozen peaches were overpowered
Simple Green Smoothies
Kale can be a bit stronger than spinach in a smoothie. Def let us know what you think next time if you blend it with spinach! 🙂
Clareen McNabb
Great smoothie!! I used a whole banana & coconut water then added chia & ground flax for extra benefits
Jen
This smoothie hit the spot tasting absolutely wonderful and the kids just kept asking for more too! A great way to use up some of the peaches we froze from our tree last year. We will definitely be using this smoothie combo again! I added ground flax without any complaints from the kids as well.
Simple Green Smoothies
Love that you're blending as a family! Such a great way to get diff fruits + veggies into our kids. You go mama!
Lynnette Muncey
First day of my smoothie challenge and couldn’t have started with a better one! This one satisfied my mid-day sweet tooth without any of the guilt! Keeping this recipe for future use!
Jen
I really enjoyed this smoothy!! I added a scoop of protein to it to make it my meal and it kept me full for a long time!!
Alicia R.
Yum! Another great smoothie recipe. Will need to remember this one when peaches are in season.
Tracy Liller
I like the refreshing taste with the peaches; will be trying with avocado
Rhea Hayes
Yum! Sweet enough to be a dessert.
Ogechi Nwaokelemeh
Very easy and tasty smoothie! Great way to start the day! Day 1 Smoothie...DONE! 🙂
Lynnette Muncey
Sharon Key
This is PERFECT green smoothie for beginners to do! I have been doing green smoothies for about a year now and I personally found it to be a bit to sweet for me. That being said, I still loved it! I also added extra things like chia see, flax seed, and hemp hearts .
Michele
This smoothie was very easy to make and was refreshing and light. I used frozen peaches and a frozen banana. It is a pretty green color from the spinach, but I could only taste the fruit. I'm looking forward to trying this again, adding some chia sees, nut butter, yogurt or protein powder.
Jimmye Porter
Very tasty, a really clear/clean taste. I will make this again.
pennote
I made this up this morning and added a small chunk of candied ginger for added zing. Frozen nectarines were substituted for peaches and I used half a frozen banana. Terrific!
Churice R.
Not as thick as I would like it but good flavor.
Simple Green Smoothies
Hi Churice! You can totally add some additional banana, a touch of mango, a bit of avocado, or unflavored collagen powder to thicken any smoothie if needed. Happy blending!
Linda Markarian
This is one delicious green smoothie. A great way to start things off!
Melody Bell
Very delicious. Had to swap out peaches for mangos.
Stacie
This smoothie has the perfect level of sweetness and creaminess. I used frozen peaches and substituted avocado for the banana. I would have liked a bit more peaches flavor, but fresh peaches might take care of that.
Barbara
My first try. Store was out of frozen peaches so used mango instead. Tasted strongly of spinach. So just okay. Maybe it would have been better with the peaches. I’ll try it again when I can find them.
Simple Green Smoothies
Def let us know what you think when you get to try it with peaches Barbara. Also, if you need to back off the amount of spinach for your first couple of smoothies until you get used to it, go for it! Better to blend with a little less, than to not blend at all! 🙂
Andromeda
Delicious, I will make again.
Jen
Tastes great! I love all of your recipes that I try 🙂
Jen
Tastes great!
Laura Jacobson
This one was O.K., I added the plant protein powder, so this was breakfast for today. I would have liked a little more flavor, it just seemed a little flat.
Simple Green Smoothies
Def feel free to add more peach next time to up that flavor profile, Laura. Way to start the 10-Day Challenge strong with adding protein powder!
Annette
I did not have peaches so used 2 cups of tangerines. I think that is a recipe from another day of the smoothie challenge. Really good. Funny how you can barely taste the spinach.
Joyce Christmas
Very good. I added the Simple Green Protein Smoothie Boost and made a meal out of it. I didn't have peaches, and the store was out of frozen peaches, so I used frozen mangos. I will definitely make this again. Looking forward to making it with peaches next time.
Simple Green Smoothies
Yay Joyce! Yes, mangoes, nectarines or apricots all make great subs for peaches.
Cristina Ribeiro
Light and refreshing, not overly sweet
Tamara
I added a little collagen powder to mine. This smoothie is not bad. Maybe I need some fresh country peaches. My frozen didn't have enough flavor. Thank goodness summer is around the corner. To remedy this I added a couple antioxidant booster cubes. The hint of ginger gave me the kick I wanted.
Simple Green Smoothies
Such pro add-ins Tamara. Way to blend!
Karen
Who know Spinach could be so yummy! I guess Popeye was right all along!
Simple Green Smoothies
Toot toot! We totally agree Karen! 🙂
Cynthia Williams Phelps
Love everything about this smoothie— banana and peaches are delicious together!
Cheryl
I love peaches, but this was not my favorite flavor, although , to be fair, I didn't measure carefully. I may not have used as many peaches as called for and probably used more spinach. Even though this is lower sugar, which I appreciate, I don't do as well with too much fruit. I do think the flavor could be enhanced with some ginger, cardamom, or cinnamon. I'm thinking next time I might add blueberries or mango along with the peaches and make it with oatmilk instead of water.
Jo Ann
Will make this one often.
Alyssa
Simple, light, refreshing, and a great smoothie to start a spring green smoothie challenge. Wasn't as peachy as I was expecting but that could have been cause I used a whole small banana. Also used milk instead of water so I had a bit of a peaches and cream flavour.
Jenn.
Liked it well enough but not a super wow...though that could have been because I used canned peaches, rinsed well. It's all I could find for peaches in my area at the time.
Amanda
Very good! Also added Vanilla protein.
Dana
Delicious! Love how it still tastes great even when you switch out the spinach to kale and vice versa
Jennifer A
Light and refreshing! I boosted with a coconut smoothie cube to add some healthy fats and make it a little more creamy.
Marlissa
Such a refreshing smoothie! Simple, easy and delicious. I think this might be on repeat now!
Vashti Phillips
Deliciously sweet, creamy and satisfying. Enjoyed every bit of it.
JQue
Yummy Deliciousness. I added extra peaches and some protein powder..
Yeeeeaaaahhh Baaabbbyyyy.
I'm excited to be more consistent with my smoothies and to try these new recipes.
Simple Green Smoothies
Yes JQue! Love that you are using the 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge to get that plant-rawkin consistency!
Penny
Smooth and delicious! Added vanilla protein powder for meal. Low sugar too
Cheryl Robillard
So refreshing and simple. Nice for a quick easy healthy shake. Great way to start the 10 day challenge.
Debbie A Meshishnek
I thought it was very good, I added the protein I bought from you which was great too.
Cynthia
Refreshing and tasty! Not too sweet. I really like this one!
Catherine Brown
Fresh, springtime taste. Everyone loved it!
Suzanne
Excellent fresh taste - minimal ingredient list makes this a great first day smoothie. Added protein powder to make it a meal! Yummy start to the challenge!!
Andrea Lowe Davis
This smoothie is such a beautiful shade of green and has such a smooth, creamy texture! Perfect for spring. My husband loved it too!
Dr. Aja Holmes
I like the smoothie!! I was really good and low on sugar!! I added a steamed beet to mine and I could not taste it at all!
Simple Green Smoothies
Aja, you're so awesome! Those beets are totally upping your folate, antioxidant and Vitamin C game. You go girl!!
Christina C.
I made it today, added micro greens, kale, and broccoli shoots. After doing a 30 minute round trip walk to grocery to get frozen peaches!
Simple Green Smoothies
A smoothie AND a workout! Way to rawk Day 1 of the 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge, Christina! 🙂
ALBA ROCIO CLAVIJO
I tried today this recipe and it tastes delicious!!! I am used to include more greens in my smoothies but I think this one is a very good start for the challenge.
Dawn
This was a really great start for the 10-Day Challenge! It was so easy to make in my personal blender!
Stephanie B
Not too sweet and great way to get some greens in! Also not very caloric so can easily d’Anjou with my oatmeal in the morning.
Valeria Stewart
It's okay,. I tried to double it for two servings and might not have had to double the water, it wasn't creamy enough. Either way to make it more creamy I added another banana, but that was my fault, still a clean smoothie! I used organic frozen peaches but not sure if it had enough flavor .I added the protein powder to make it a meal replacement,. I love that I can't really taste it and it's not gritty!
Simple Green Smoothies
So awesome that you made adjustments on the fly to make Healthy Peach Banana work for you! Next time, it'll blend up perfectly for you. 🙂 Love that you're lovin that Protein Smoothie Boost!
Anita L Cain
It blended beautifully, but this just isn't my flavor profile.
Simple Green Smoothies
We hear ya, Anita. Peach can be a deal breaker for some, yet way to try new things! Def keep up the blending and let us know what you think of the other recipes. 🙂
Kim Wernsman
Loved it! Easy to pull together. Tastes great!! I will definitely make this one again. I served it in a Coke glass for fun.
Simple Green Smoothies
Yes! Drinking your smoothies in diff jars, glasses or containers can be such fun. Anyone else rawk an interesting container for this one?
Grace
Great start to the Spring 2021 10-day smoothie challenge! I like how the beginner’s luck smoothie was changed to a pre-start trial smoothie because it’s the most sweet and a great introduction if you’re new to green smoothies. Added bonus was that prep weekend fell on Easter long weekend; great combo of time and fun! I like that day 1 is a less sweet smoothie. I altered mine by adding kale, cilantro, anti-inflammatory smoothie cubes, and hemp protein powder. Therefore I cannot comment on the original flavour, but mine was tangy and tasty!
Simple Green Smoothies
Such pro tips and swaps Grace! Thank you for all the lovely feedback. We really appreciate it!
Nancy Lewellen
Tastes great, creamy, didn’t separate. Much better tan any green smoothie I have made before!
Simple Green Smoothies
Sounding like a pro, Nancy! Way to blend!
Erin
I love the Peach Banana Smoothie! It tastes delicious and is healthy! I added some protein powder, chia seeds and ground flax. I used coconut water instead of plain water. Delicious start of the day!
Simple Green Smoothies
Awesome add-ins Erin!
Pat L.
Less sweet than I imagined considering the banana. I love bananas but even half seems to overpower the taste of the peaches. I might adjust to less banana, more peach next time.
Angele LeFort
Loved it
Had it first thing this morning. You can feel the energy from the drink pretty quickly afterwards
Ellie
Not too sweet, super simple to throw together.
Jacquie Kelley
Yum!
Violeta
This was so good. I didn’t taste the spinach. I did add chia seeds.
I give it a 10
