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 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.
More 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 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 homemade nut butter.
To stay full and feel satisfied for longer, check out our popular Green Smoothie Meal Replacement Guide.
For example, you can add 1/4 of an avocado, use 1/2 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 or cauliflower for an equally creamy smoothie.
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!

First green smoothie with these simple ingredients. And I have to say, I like it. LOL Ready to try the next one.
Way to blend it Sharon! You’re a rawkstar now!
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.
Couldn’t taste the peaches I just tasted the peanut butter that I put in..
Peanut butter is def a way to grab some more protein, Luis. Yet it will totally take over a peach any time! 😉
Def give it another blend with those fresh peaches and tell us what ya think, Heather. 🙂
Thought this was a very good start to the smoothie challenge. Very refreshing blend! I enjoyed it.
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!
Rawk on Cori!
Yum – very refreshing
This was a delicious smoothie. Mu while family enjoyed it. It went from Uuhh! I’ll try it to this is great.
Way to win your family over!! 🙂
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is a simple yet delicious smoothie! I never really use peaches in my smoothie. Thanks to this challenge, I have a new fave!
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!
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!
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 😉
Loved the smoothie. Used frozen peaches, found it very refreshing.
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.
I love peach desserts but not so crazy about it in a smoothie.
Thanks for giving it a blend, Eunice!
I subbed kale. Quite refreshing, but maybe my frozen peaches were overpowered
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! 🙂
