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!

Not too sweet and great way to get some greens in! Also not very caloric so can easily d’Anjou with my oatmeal in the morning.
It’s okay,. I tried to double it for two servings and might not have had to double the water, it wasn’t creamy enough. Either way to make it more creamy I added another banana, but that was my fault, still a clean smoothie! I used organic frozen peaches but not sure if it had enough flavor .I added the protein powder to make it a meal replacement,. I love that I can’t really taste it and it’s not gritty!
So awesome that you made adjustments on the fly to make Healthy Peach Banana work for you! Next time, it’ll blend up perfectly for you. 🙂 Love that you’re lovin that homemade protein powder!
It blended beautifully, but this just isn’t my flavor profile.
We hear ya, Anita. Peach can be a deal breaker for some, yet way to try new things! Def keep up the blending and let us know what you think of the other recipes. 🙂
Loved it! Easy to pull together. Tastes great!! I will definitely make this one again. I served it in a Coke glass for fun.
Yes! Drinking your smoothies in diff jars, glasses or containers can be such fun. Anyone else rawk an interesting container for this one?
Great start to the Spring 2021 10-day smoothie challenge! I like how the beginner’s luck smoothie was changed to a pre-start trial smoothie because it’s the most sweet and a great introduction if you’re new to green smoothies. Added bonus was that prep weekend fell on Easter long weekend; great combo of time and fun! I like that day 1 is a less sweet smoothie. I altered mine by adding kale, cilantro, anti-inflammatory smoothie cubes, and hemp protein powder. Therefore I cannot comment on the original flavour, but mine was tangy and tasty!
Such pro tips and swaps Grace! Thank you for all the lovely feedback. We really appreciate it!
Tastes great, creamy, didn’t separate. Much better tan any green smoothie I have made before!
Sounding like a pro, Nancy! Way to blend!
I love the Peach Banana Smoothie! It tastes delicious and is healthy! I added some protein powder, chia seeds and ground flax. I used coconut water instead of plain water. Delicious start of the day!
Awesome add-ins Erin!
Less sweet than I imagined considering the banana. I love bananas but even half seems to overpower the taste of the peaches. I might adjust to less banana, more peach next time.
Loved it
Had it first thing this morning. You can feel the energy from the drink pretty quickly afterwards
Not too sweet, super simple to throw together.
Yum!
This was so good. I didn’t taste the spinach. I did add chia seeds.
I give it a 10
So good!!
Two thumbs up
I like this smoothie. Added protein powder and chia seeds. Yummy
I made this smoothie and it was just eh okay. Doesn’t matter though because I’m glad that I am trying new things and they are healthy, so yay me!
You are so right Michelle! Trying new healthy things is the such an awesome step! Next time, def give the recipe a tweak to make it more to your taste. Better to add a bit more peach or banana if that works for you than to not blend greens at all. 🙂
Simple and delicious!!!
