This peach smoothie recipe is officially in my back pocket forever. Juicy peaches, fresh orange, a creamy banana, and a touch of zingy ginger for that anti-inflammatory boost. That’s it. Throw the fruit in the blender and boom—done in under 2 minutes. It’s sunshine in a glass and tastes like the best parts of summer.
You can use fresh or frozen peaches — yet fresh have the best flavor. And flavor is everything! I buy 25 pounds of Palisades peaches each summer, chop ’em up (I keep the skin on) and freeze to use in smoothies all year. They taste waaaay better than store-bought frozen peaches.
Peach Smoothie Recipe Tips
- Use a high-speed blender: If you want a smooth smoothie (and not a chunky one) invest in a high-speed blender for smoothies. It’s a game-changer.
- Customize: Some of you have told me you add a splash of coconut water or a scoop of collagen powder—and honestly, I love that, too. Keep customizing it! I’ve added 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower to bulk up the fiber and a serving of homemade protein powder to turn it into a meal replacement smoothie.
- Double up: Make two servings to fill up your blender container, which helps everything blend nicely. Store leftovers in air-tight container in fridge for up to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about This Peach Smoothie
Peaches do not have to be peeled for smoothies. While you can if your blender doesn’t do a great job blending up the skin, you can totally leave it on for even more nutrients and additional fiber.
Yes! Fresh peaches tastes the best— yet frozen store-bought peaches work fine, too. If your peaches aren’t super sweet, consider adding a date or a splash of honey.
Of course! Ginger adds a refreshing, slightly spicy kick and some digestive benefits, but it’s totally optional. If you’re not a fan, just leave it out or use a smaller amount.
Yes! You can blend and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, though it’s best enjoyed fresh. Or make Frozen Meal Prep Smoothie Packs and store it in the freezer—just dump into a blender with your liquid when ready.
Peaches pair well with a variety of fruits in smoothies. If you’re looking for a peaches n’ cream vibe then blend them with coconut, bananas or avocado. They also pair well with sharper flavors as they provide a sweet balance to foods like ginger or citrus such as oranges.
Liquids for smoothies are often chosen based on the other ingredients you’re blending. Try to stick to ones without added sugar like plain water, unsweetened nut/seed milk, or dairy milk if you can tolerate them. I don’t often add fruit juice to my smoothies as I find fruit sweetens them enough, and I don’t need the added sugar from fruit juice. Unsweetened coconut water or unsweetened tea also works great.
The written recipe does not match the picture. The picture has a banana in it. You need to update.
I find the portions to be too small for those that drink smoothies on the go. I use 1 orange, 1 peach and now I know it should not include a banana I will use 2 peaches.
You’re right— the banana got left out of the recipe card. Thanks for the heads up! I recommend 1 cup peaches, which is about 1 1/2 whole peaches. Blending that with the banana will get it to be about 2 cups, which is what I like to have for breakfast. Anything less than that and I’m still hungry— and I def add some chia seeds or protein powder if using as a meal replacement. Gotta get in those healthy fats and protein to make it a complete meal on the go. So glad you’re rawkin’ with me!
The only substitution I made was adding flax seed in place of the protein powder. Would like to try this one with fresh, in- season peaches + non- dairy beverage + spices instead of ginger.
Such a pretty smoothie! I used a mix of peaches and nectarines since that’s what I had on hand, and it was great.
Hi Olivia! I bet the mix of peaches and nectarines turned out great! If you liked the Fresh Peach Smoothie, you may love the Peachy Coconut smoothie!
I had left over peaches (and a little pineapple) – so I made this but with that extra touch of pineapple. So good and so refreshing for this time time of year! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you loved it, Grace! 🙂
The ginger + peach combo is my new fav, can’t wait to try this smoothie!
The ginger + peach combo is one of my all-time faves! 😀
