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 two minutes. It’s sunshine in a glass and tastes like the best parts of summer, which is why I’m blending peach smoothies while the sun is out and the temps are high.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe is a refreshing and nutrient-packed way to start your day or enjoy a midday boost. Here’s why it’s so good for you:
- Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber — and they’re also one of my recommended low sugar fruits. You can use fresh or frozen peaches — yet fresh have the best flavor. And flavor is everything! Love peach season, too? Don’t miss my Blackberry Peach Smoothie, or browse more easy smoothie recipes.
- Oranges bring a burst of vitamin C and hydration, helping to boost immunity and give your skin a healthy glow.
- Banana adds natural sweetness, potassium, and fiber—great for energy and digestive health. Freeze bananas for smoothies to save time and reduce waste, or leave it out and try one of my smoothies that skip the banana.
- Ginger root is a powerhouse for reducing inflammation, aiding digestion, and giving the smoothie a subtle spicy kick that wakes up your taste buds.
This one made the cut on my roundup of refreshing summer drinks for a reason — ripe peaches blended cold are basically summer in a glass.
Peach Smoothie 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.

Sweet Peach Smoothie
Jen HansardIngredients
- 1 cup peaches fresh or frozen
- 1 orange peeled and segmented
- ½ banana peeled
- 1 teaspoon ginger root
Instructions
- Place the orange in a blender, followed by the peaches, banana and ginger.
- Blend on high until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed and adding a splash of water if it’s too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Texture Tip: Freeze fresh peaches ahead, or buy frozen, for a colder, thicker smoothie. If it’s too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water, coconut water or unsweetened non-dairy milk.
- Mix-Ins: Add a pinch each of nutmeg and cinnamon for a peach pie flavor.
- Protein Boost: Blend in 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt or a serving of protein powder for a creamier, more filling smoothie.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Wonderful! Such a yummy sweet mid-afternoon snack for summer! I had one fresh peach that was getting soft, an orange, and 1/2 frozen banana. I didn’t have fresh ginger, so I sprinkled in a bit of ginger powder.
that sounds so yummy!
