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:
- 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 good.
Had to use frozen peaches and it tasted good but I plan on making it again when I can get some fresh, juicy local peaches. I subbed almond milk (MALK) and added a chunk of fresh ginger root and it was creamy and delicious.
Great tasting smoothie. So refreshing.
This one was just okay, not sure why I didn’t like it as much. I didn’t have a fresh peach and used frozen – that might be it. Will try again when I can get a fresh peach.
Shelli, def try it again when you can get fresh peaches!
Very good
Bananas make all things smooth and sweet!
I love the smoothies, and love the community MORE!
Well we love you, Amy! 😀
Very yummy
Tasty! Not too sweet.
I had to use mango instead, were under quarantine so some foods are limited. It was still delicious!
That’s totally ok, Tracy! You made what you have work for the smoothie and you’re still blending so that’s a win in our book!
No peaches—but mango works great!
Yes it does! I bet it tasted like a tropical umbrella drink. 🙂
Simple and I like that the ingredients can be purchased frozen at the grocery store. Seems like frozen fruits are a bit easier for me to find lately.
Yummy, just wish I had fresh peaches. I feel like the flavour would be better if I had fresh peaches.
I agree, I love fresh peaches much better. When I can’t find them though, I thaw my frozen peaches overnight and when I blend them in my smoothies, that great peach flavor is a bit more pronounced.
Day 1 smoothie was great. Took it on the go to my office this morning. Posted picture on IG. I like that it wasn’t too sweet but great consistency. I did a mixture of spinach and kale. Super excited and looking forward to day 2
Day 1 Smoothie, I really liked it. Delicious
I’m in Thailand for a year, so the frozen peaches I was able to get my hands on are pretty bland. But I can see how this can be a pretty tasty smoothie!
Kids gave this smoothie a 5! I used coconut water & dinosaur kale + one large carrot. It was really thin closer to a juice but my son asked for more so I’ll take that as a win
