Creamy Peach Banana Smoothie Recipe

Summer just isn’t summer without juicy, ripe peaches and this peach banana smoothie is one of my favorite ways to enjoy them!

It’s cool, creamy, and naturally sweet from fresh fruit. Plus, it’s made with simple ingredients and packs in 23g of protein, making it perfect for breakfast or a snack that’ll actually keep you full.

It’s also easy to prep ahead! I’ll show you how to freeze peaches and bananas into ready-to-blend freezer packs, so you’ve always got a healthy breakfast waiting in your freezer.

And if you’ve got more peaches to use up, don’t miss my peach iced tea and homemade peach syrup. They’re both perfect for sipping all summer long.

Why You’ll Love This Peach Banana Smoothie

Protein-packed – Made with Greek yogurt and milk for 23g of protein per serving.

Naturally sweet – No added sugar, thanks to ripe bananas and juicy peaches.

You don’t need a fancy blender – I make it in my Ninja personal cup blender that doubles as a drinking cup. A high-speed Vitamix blender isn’t necessary for any of my smoothie recipes, but, of course, works great too.

Easily made dairy-free – Use plant-based milk and yogurt if needed.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s what goes into this smoothie:

• Peaches
• Frozen banana
• Greek yogurt
• Milk
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon

Ingredient Notes

Peaches – Fresh or frozen both work. If using fresh, look for soft, ripe peaches and peel and slice them before blending. Peeling helps create a smoother texture and removes potential pesticide residue.

Even if you buy organic, I still recommend peeling. If possible, choose organic peaches, especially if you plan to eat them often.

Frozen peaches also work great and give the smoothie an even thicker texture. If you’re using frozen peaches and frozen banana, just add a splash more milk to thin it out if needed.

Frozen Banana – Frozen banana chunks make the smoothie naturally sweet and creamy without needing ice. I always freeze overripe bananas in 1-inch pieces so they’re smoothie-ready.

Overripe bananas with some black spots on the peel have started converting starches into natural sugars, which gives this smoothie maximum sweetness. No added sweeteners are needed.

Greek Yogurt – I use plain non-fat Greek yogurt for its protein and creamy texture. Either 2% or full-fat works, too.

Milk – I usually go with 2% milk, but any kind works–almond, oat, soy, or whatever you like.

Dairy-Free? No Problem! This smoothie is super easy to make dairy-free. Just use your favorite plant-based yogurt (like almond, coconut, or oat) and non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, oat, or cashew). The texture stays creamy and the flavor is just as delicious. Plus, it’s a great option if you’re avoiding dairy or eating vegan.

Vanilla Extract – Just a splash adds warm, cozy flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruit.

Cinnamon – Optional, but highly recommended!

Vanilla & Cinnamon give this smoothie a subtle peach cobbler vibe. For the best flavor, don’t skip them.

How to Make a Peach Banana Smoothie

Detailed recipe and instructions are in recipe card at bottom of post.

1. Add ingredients to your blender. Start with milk, followed by frozen banana chunks, peeled and sliced peaches, vanilla, cinnamon and Greek yogurt. (Follow your blender’s instructions for the ideal order.)
2. Blend until smooth. Don’t over-blend. Just process until everything is creamy and combined. I use the smoothie button on my blender.
3. Taste and adjust. If you’d like it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, though I find it sweet enough from the fruit alone.
4. Pour and enjoy! Best served fresh while it’s extra cold and creamy.

Add smoothie ingredients to blender cup.

Blend for one minute & serve immediately.

Make-Ahead Freezer Packs for Smoothies

If you’ve got peaches or bananas getting too ripe, freezer smoothie packs are a great way to save them, and make busy mornings easier. Nothing beats having a healthy breakfast already halfway done.

How to Make a Peach Banana Freezer Pack

1. Peel and slice your peaches. Just peel, remove the pit, and cut into slices. Peeling helps the smoothie blend more smoothly and removes any lingering pesticide residue.
2. Slice bananas into chunks. About 1-inch pieces work best for blending.
3. Optional: Add cinnamon. I like to sprinkle the banana chunks with cinnamon before freezing so I don’t even have to measure it later.
4. Freeze on a baking sheet. Lay peach slices and banana chunks flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
5. Transfer to freezer bags. Portion the frozen fruit into individual baggies (I use about 1 cup peaches + ½ banana per smoothie) and freeze.
6. Blend when ready. Just dump the frozen fruit into your blender, add Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla, and blend!

Smoothie-Making Tips

• Freeze bananas ahead of time in small chunks so they’re always ready for smoothies.
• Make the smoothie with at least one frozen fruit. It can be the banana or peaches.
• Don’t over-blend. Once it’s smooth and creamy, stop. Blending too long can make it frothy.
• Follow your blender’s instructions. Usually that means liquids first, then soft stuff, then frozen fruit.

Nutritional Boosts to Try
