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.

Here are a few great recipes that can help boost your fiber intake:

- 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.

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!

Super bland and I tasted mostly spinach. Maybe would be better with fresh peaches.
Definitely need to let frozen peaches thaw a bit to get more of the peach flavor.
This was pretty bland, which is kind of what I was expecting since I feel like frozen peaches never have much flavor. I’d like to try it again in the summer with fresh, juicy peaches! Still not bad, though. Just very mild flavor.
Not typically a fan of peaches, so I never venture with them in smoothies until this week. I was surprised to find I actually liked this! I let the peaches thaw a little before blending to brimming out more of their natural sweetness.
I loved this smoothie. Even my kids were asking for it, and that’s always a plus!
One of my favorites.
We had really, really ripe bananas and I wanted to taste the peach flavour of this smoothie, so I branched out and added avocado instead. It was so creamy and delicious! Hubby wanted the banana, so we made two and had a side by side comparison. The peach was definitely more noticeable in the avocado mix.
Delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!
I I enjoyed this smoothie. I did substitute almond milk for the water to make it creamier. Overall it was simple and tasty.
Three stars I am not sure what I think about this combination so okay
Refreshing!
I loved the Peach smoothie for today, definitely one of my favorite recipes so far! Some of the others didn’t blend quite well enough for me, I may have to convince the hubby to get me a nicer blender 🙂
Delicious and simple. Added wheat germ bc I have some leftover. Yum!
I love peaches this hit the spot. I also added chia and cocunut oil. Delicious!
I liked it. I didnt find it overpowering. I found it refreshing and tastey. I added chia and flax also
Smoothies have been delicious! It’s like resetting our tastebuds, lol. We can’t wait until next day, and week!Simple Peach was delicious #SimpleGreenSmoothies #30daychallenge
