Peach Banana Smoothie
Peaches are one of my favorite fruits. Nothing beats the fresh peach flavor! Put them in a fruit smoothie and it easily becomes my favorite breakfast, lunch, or snack!
There are a ton of nutrients in peaches. They are a great source of vitamin C and vitamin A. Peaches also have lots of fiber in them which helps your digestive health!
And don’t forget potassium. Peaches are one of the top potassium-rich fruits which help balance fluids and electrolytes in your body. All of the good health benefits in one smoothie! Yes, please!
I love mixing peaches and bananas together. Their soft light flavors compliment each other so nicely, and blend together for a nice creamy texture.
Drinking this Peach Smoothie will wake you up and give you the energy you need to start your day!
How to Make a Peach Smoothie
PREP. Grab all of your ingredients and prep: banana and peach cut into chunks, low-fat peach yogurt, orange juice, and ice cubes.
BLEND. Combine ingredients in a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until it’s smooth and frothy. Pour into a glass and enjoy all of that peachy goodness!
Make a smoothie bowl
A popular twist on a Peach Banana Smoothie is a smoothie bowl. It’s thicker and you eat it with a spoon like frozen yogurt. To get the desired consistency you will need to adjust the ingredients:
- Use frozen peaches and frozen bananas.
- If you can, pre-freeze the yogurt in cubes.
- You will also want to reduce the amount of orange juice.
Note that this will require a strong blender so you don’t burn the motor.
Peach Tips
Peach season. Peaches are in season during the summer months. Since they are a stone fruit they are picked when they are still hard and then they ripen.
- They are perfectly ripe when they give off a sweet aroma and have a little give when squeezed.
- Store them on the counter, but once they are ripe they can be stored in an open bag, away from other fruits, in the fridge.
- To ripen peaches more quickly, place them in a brown bag with the top folded over. They should ripen within a day or two.
Skin on. No need to peel the peach. The skin can stay on and isn’t even noticed once it’s blended in with the other smoothie ingredients.
Fresh peaches. Fresh peaches are best, but you can use what you have on hand.
- Canned peaches. We recommend taking them out of the can, placing them in a freezer bag, and freezing them overnight for more of a smoothie consistency instead of a smoothie juice if used directly from the can.
- Frozen peaches. Use frozen fruit – just omit the ice cubes!
Variations
Healthy additions:
- add natural sweetness with honey or maple syrup
- a scoop of vanilla protein powder
- add in collagen, flax seed, chia seeds, nutritional yeast
- make it dairy-free with almond milk
Variations and additional ingredients:
- berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries
- mangos
- Greek yogurt
- spinach or other greens
- almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk
- almond butter
Storing Info
Make ahead of time. Wash, slice, and divide the fruit into individual-sized portions and keep them in Ziploc bags in the freezer. The yogurt can be frozen in an ice cube tray. The ice and juice are best added to the smoothie right before mixing.
With the ingredients prepped like this, you can take the ingredients straight from the freezer to the blender!
STORE. Add a little bit of lemon juice or Sure Fresh to prevent browning. If there’s a little room at the top of the container, cut a piece of plastic wrap and place it directly onto the top of the smoothie.
Store this Peach Smoothie recipe in the fridge for 12 hours or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

This recipe is a keeper for sure!!
I’ve already made this twice- so good!
This easy Peach Fruit Smoothie recipe combines greek yogurt, coconut milk and peaches (fresh or frozen) to create a refreshing breakfast on-the-go or snack.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Another gorgeous recipe, definitely would love this drink
Awe, thank you so much!
This was delicious and really featured the fresh Peach flavor I was after. My peaches never ripened properly, so i wanted a way to use them that didn’t include a smoothie with the main ingredient being vanilla ice cream ;-P This recipe showed up in the top hits in my search, and since i love kristyn, i decided to try it. it was a little too sweet for me, but my 4.5 rounds up to a 5. I will use less banana or yogurt next time to cut the sweetness.
Awe, thank you so much!! I am glad it popped up in your search 🙂
OMG this peach smoothie recipe is the best! I made it today and loved it. Since I didn’t know how to make ice cubes, I used milk instead, and it still turned out really, really, well! Thank you for this amazing recipe, Kristyn!
You are so welcome! Thank you for trying it & for letting me know!
I’m going to make this, as it sounds delicious. But, there’s no way it can be only 66 calories. A banana has 105 calories just itself.
Solid recipe
Thank you!! So happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Excellent! Easy breakfast I just added some Plant base protein powder.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the smoothie. Definitely a great one to add a little protein too.
The smoothie doesn’t taste like peaches. I was so in the mood for a nice creamy peach flavor but all taste like is bananas
Thanks for the feedback and giving the recipe a try!
This is the most refreshing smoothie! I made it for my hubby & he was in heaven!! Peach flavor in anything is his favorite!
This is by far my new favorite flavor of smoothie! I even get to where I make them in the winter because they’re so good!
Fruit smoothies are my favorite and I especially love peach ones. This is a perfect drink for me to sit back and relax.
Just perfect! We used frozen peaches and all of my kids loved it!
This peach smoothie reminds me of the peach milk shakes at Chick fil a. Yum!
It orange season and I had frozen summer peaches and this made a delicious breakfast for the kids.
