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!

So the day for us is almost over, here on this side of earth.
My young one said it was sour, the older one said “mmm this is so sweet”.
I Liked it since the banana coverd the kale that I added.
So – 4 for me, I guess just because the peaches were not as strong in taste as I imagined.
I didn’t have bananas or peaches so used avacado and mango instead with a touch of cinnamon. Quite tasty!!
This smoothie was ok. It was a little heavy on the banana taste, but maybe I put a little more than 1/2 a banana, lol. There’s a hint of peach, which I thought there’d be more. I also added protein powder to make it a meal. Overall, I’d probably make this again, just tweak it a little bit.
Laura, did you use frozen peaches? I find that when I thaw my peaches overnight, I get a stronger peach flavor in my smoothie. 🙂
So simple & so good! Works well with kale too!
We love switching up our greens. Kale yeah!!!
I think I want to try this and the other peach recipes with fresh peaches. I like the convenience of frozen peaches but there’s not a lot of flavor with them. Through this challenge I’ve discovered that I really like smoothies that include oranges and then I used frozen orange for the first time and while it was good, it wasn’t quite as good as the ones where I used fresh orange. Thinking the frozen peaches may be the issue so since I love peaches, I’ll give this one another try.
Hey Dawn,
We feel you! There is nothing like fresh fruit if you have access to that. I would definitely recommend trying this again with fresh peaches and see how you like it 🙂
Simple, fresh and delicious
Love this smoothie! I am a fan of anything peach, so I was excited to try this recipe.
Hey love peaches too!
Peaches are my FAVORITE fruit, so this smoothie did not disappoint! I used frozen peaches for convenience and it still tasted amazing!
Yay!!
Glad you were able to make it convenient for you and it still tasted delicious!
Used frozen peaches. Can’t wait until they are in season here, just a FEW more months.
I used frozen peaches, so I added extra to enhance the flavor, which was a good call. I can’t wait to try it during peach season.
I love peaches, but this smoothie was not great for me. Maybe it is the frozen peaches that aren’t working for me. I will try it again though when fresh peaches are available.
This was yum. I unknowingly blended a variation of this smoothie 2 days in a row because my body must have loved it!
Simple to make, missing a little something, but not bad!
I haven’t yet found anything I don’t like about these smoothies! I just love them all!❤️❤️❤️
Love this smoothie, but I had a frozen fruit combo mixture that I used… Strawberries mango pineapple and peaches.
Nice and refreshing. I used a mix of mango, papaya and pineapple for the peaches as I had none and it was a good replacement.
