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 Recipe
Peaches and bananas are both low sugar fruits, and are 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. For tips on blending it all perfectly, check out my guide on how to make a smoothie. If you need a new blender, check out these blenders for smoothies.
Turn Your 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 homemade protein powder, chia or hemp seeds or nut butter.
To stay full and feel satisfied for longer, check out our popular meal replacement smoothie. For example, you can add 1/4 avocado, use 1/2 cup coconut milk in place of some of the water, or add a tablespoon of MCT oil like I do in my healthy fats smoothie.
Not a banana fan? No problem. Swap in avocado or cauliflower for the same creamy texture, and for quick prep, you can learn how to cut avocado following my guide.
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!
This may be my new Fav.
Banana tends to spike my blood sugar, yet I added Smoothie Boost to this recipe and it really helped keep my levels stable. Thanks!
I can’t wait for peach season, so I can put this recipe back in my rotation!
Peach season is around the corner – this recipe is definitely going to be on repeat!
I loved this one! I blended with almond milk instead of water, and it was very delicious and very peachy!
Swapping out water for almond milk is a great choice, Sloane. Makes the smoothie a little creamier + a little more protein. Rawk on!
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.
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!!
This is def all about trying diff recipes and flavors to find what you love. Way to blend new things, Lynne!
Love this recipe, it was a great way to use my frozen peaches.
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.
For sure! Let us know what you think when you blend again with fresh peaches and a ripe banana, Bonnie.
pretty good but would add more peaches and replace banana with avocado
I loved how simple this smoothie is, but still tastes great! Also, not as sweet as I thought it would be which I liked.
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.
Def give it another blend with some fresh peaches and banana. We think you’ll love it!
This tastes good.
It was a good refreshing smoothie but will use fresh peaches the next time I make this. Not much flavor.
I loved this one, the peach banana combo really satisfied my sweet tooth.
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!
I really enjoyed this smoothie! Very simple and delicious! Will definitely be making this again!
I loved the hint of peach taste I had. Might be even better with a fresh peach instead of frozen.
Fresh peach or adding in another stone fruit like nectarine will def up that flavor for you VJ. Thanks for giving it a blend!
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.
