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!

Was very good and easy to make
Love peaches in a smoothie – delicious!
Yum!
Day 1, This drink is pretty good! Not what I had expected.
Totally makes eating your veggies way easier, right Karen? Yay!!! Way to rawk it! 🙂
Day 1 smoothie was delicious. I added plant protein powder to it as well as coconut oil and chia seeds. Off to a great start.
Super tasty and refreshing! Day 1 of 10 day smoothie challenge.
Well, this was interesting! So yummy with the addition of a slice of ginger and a tablespoon of almond butter. Awesome and creamy!
Love that you added some ginger here Dianna. Pro move!
It’s so yummy, me and my daughter love it ❤️
I used avocado instead of banana, as I prefer my smoothies less sweet – and with the addition of ginger I found this a very pleasant smoothie
This is my first smoothie from the 10-day challenge so I’ve got nothing else to compare it to hence my 3/5 rating. It’s definitely a pass, light and refreshing doesn’t taste like you’re eating spinach.
Can’t wait for you to try rawkin some more green smoothies, Liz! Bet you’ll love them all! 🙂
Maybe I’m making it not quite right, but I find the spinach taste a little too obvious, and not enough peach. Maybe adding more then a cup of peach?
You can totally adjust the recipe to your preferences. To avoid more natural sugar by adding more peach, try backing down the spinach a bit and adding more as you become more accustomed to it.
It’s OK on its own, I used frozen fruit but think it needs more peach as it was very light flavor, added vanilla protein & chia seed. The vanilla helped hide the spinach taste
Good smoothie. I find it better with 1 tablespoon plain yogurt.
The recipes are great because you can tweak them to your tastes. 🙂
I didn’t have peaches but I had mango. It is a simple smoothie but had great flavor.
I used blackboy peaches and it was really good.
Great start to the smoothie challenge! Glad to read this combination is low on the glycemic scale, yet still tastes delicious. I did not have enough ripe or frozen peaches so I added some frozen cantaloupe, as well as black chia seeds and pea protein powder. Cheers to health!
This smoothie was very creamy and great tasting. Fresh ginger is a great addition. I really liked it a lot.
