The only fruit I used to like eating when I was little was canned pears. I KNOW. Gross. I think it was a texture, sweetness thing…Anyway the LAST fruit I would ever eat as a kid was peaches. The fuzzy skin just set me off. But then, one summer I tried a peach milkshake and my life has never been the same.
All it took was covering it with ice cream to change my mind. Go figure.
These days I’m eating peaches in all kinds of things – crisps, green salads, fruit salads, and, more recently, smoothies.
This recipe features two ripe peaches as the star ingredient, frozen banana adds sweetness and texture, and orange juice adds a bit of tartness. Chia seeds make it gel up a bit and thicken, plus add a ton of health perks. And the oats provide tons o’ fiber, manganese, and what-not. Oy!
This smoothie is sweet, slightly tart, thick and creamy and super satisfying for breakfast or a snack. John and I split a batch recently with our morning coffee and both agreed it felt wholesome, just sweet enough and totally peach-y. Hooray!
Peach Oat Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches (quartered, pits removed*)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (gluten-free for GF eaters)
- 1/2 frozen banana (peeled before freezing)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp agave, maple syrup, or a pinch of stevia (optional // for added sweetness // or honey for non-vegan)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and let set for 5-10 minutes so the oats and chia seeds can soak. Then blend until smooth.
- To thicken, add another quarter-half a frozen banana (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). To thin, add more almond milk or OJ.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed. I added a touch of agave.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
VICKY says
By far th best overnight oats!
Hannah says
A yummy combination. It may be more practical to add the chia seeds and oats with liquid before any of the fruit – the seeds get stuck on everything and aren’t able to soak.
Thanks for the review, Hannah!
Tracie says
Delish!
Tracie says
Delish! Hot afternoon snack, so refreshing and delicious! Everyone in the family loved it! I used a date (instead of syrup), no OJ (didn’t have), a few ice cubes and hemp seeds on top. Thank you!
Great! Thank you for sharing, Tracie! xo
PSMH says
Didn’t have orange juice so used unsweetened apple juice, I’d frozen bananas and fresh peaches last month, so blended to soft serve consistency and ate with a spoon after workout – sprinkle of cinnamon and it’s heaven. Didn’t need sweetening. Thank you for a great recipe!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing! xo
Lala says
Absolutely delicious!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the lovely review! xo
Krissy says
This recipe is great! I just made this as “1” serving using your recipe for 2 serving with the following mods: 2 Tbsp oats, no orange juice, 0.25 cup cashew milk, 1 Tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread, enough water for the texture I like and 3 ice cubes to make it colder.
I would definitely make tit again. It is a delicious and quick way to have a healthy and sweet treat. Thank you for this recipe!
Krissy says
Oh! And I added a large handful of spinach.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing, Krissy! xo
Rhett says
I’ve made this recipe a ton and absolutely love it (especially the oats, which I never thought about adding to a smoothie). But, I only had a few frozen peaches tonight, so I added some frozen raspberries, and oh mama! The raspberries added a great flavor and a nice color to it!
Yum! Thanks for sharing, Rhett! xo
Denise says
I used water and a whole banana because I didn’t have almond milk. Even without it, it was creamy and the taste was light and refreshing. :)
So glad to hear it, Denise! Thanks so much for sharing!
Valerie says
This was delicious. I did not need to add the honey or agave as it was sweet enough without. Definitely will make again. I actually ate it with a spoon.
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Valerie. We are so glad you enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! Xo
Rhett says
My new favorite smoothie! I never thought of putting oats in a smoothie… but it’s something different and I feel like it makes it more filling! The little bit of OJ in there really makes this drink pop!
Yay! So glad you enjoy it, Rhett! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Dawn says
Fantastic! Fresh and delicious.
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Dawn!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Dawn :D
Seren says
Hi, I’m loving this idea however I’m allergic to banana and kiwi. What would be a suitable substitute??
You could try avocado or cauliflower! Both may seem like unusual smoothie ingredients but create a creamy texture!
Mel says
Made this smoothie this morning because my partner came home with a box of peaches yesterday. I ate the whole 2 servings myself since it was the exact amount needed for my container, and it tasted amazing!! I topped it off with a bit of cacao nibs because I can’t have a smoothie without them ^^ Thank you for sharing!
Tammy Potter says
This is amazing! Made it for breakfast and can’t believe how delish!! Thanks for the recipe!
Jessica says
This was a great way to use up some ripe seasonal peaches for a late afternoon curb-the-cravings boost. I am anti-banana (blech) so I subbed in some frozen blueberries I had on hand so not quite as creamy but a lovely color. I liked the addition of the orange juice – sometimes peaches get super sweet for me and the juice provided a nice balance. This will go into heavy rotation until peach season ends! Thanks, Dana. I love every single thing I make from your blog.
Anuradha says
Hi! Interesting recipe..would love to try it. Quick question though– can its be eaten without cooking? Are they easily digestible if added like this?
Hi! This recipe requires no cooking!
Debbie says
How much frozen peaches should you use if it’s not peach season
Hi Debbie, ~1 1/3 cups. You can add more peaches if it’s too thin or add more dairy-free milk and orange juice if it’s too thick. Hope that helps!
Edi - SunCakeMom says
I haven’t thought using oat or chia seed for my drinks so far. It looks so intriguing that I can’t resist to try them though!
Linda says
I came across your website this morning looking to make a smoothie with Peaches.
I had all the ingrediants except almond milk and orange juice .I substituded with Pineapple juice .
I will definitely look for more smoothie recipes on your site.
Delicious
Linda
Eileen says
I don’t see the option to print your recipes from your website. Sorry, if I can’t print them, I won’t use them.
Leigh says
To the right of the recipe, it says “Print Friendly Version”. Or copy and paste it into a Word doc. Or bookmark it on your browser.
Marie says
Love it! I put fresh grapefruit juice because I only had those in hand instead of OJ. To me it didn’t need any sweetener at all. Thank you! :)
Dan says
Not as delicious as I was hoping – too bad!
Tonia says
I just got some California grown peaches at my local farmer’s market and knew they’d be delicious in a smoothie. Thanks for this recipe. The smoothie was amazing! I made it in my new NutriBullet Rx – in one minute it was perfectly blended!
Noa Levitt says
I have a bunch of peaches in my fridge and was craving a smoothie so searched the Internet and found this amazing recipe, but replaced the frozen fruit by fresh because I needed it right at that moment!! Love this… Could you try making a Nutella, or chocolate spread smoothie/milkshake?
Kris says
Just tried it but used soy instead and added a bit of crushed ice to thin it out and chill it more. My family loved it and I absolutely loved the oats and chia to thicken the smoothie. Great way to sneak in more omega-3’s and fiber. This will be a staple at our house. Thanks so much!
Dardan M says
Hello
Recipe Looks AMAZING. wanted to know if we can share under Recipes on our new website.
Thanks.
Amy says
This was so yummy! I had 2 ripe peaches left over and I used 1 ripe banana instead of 1/2 a frozen one and it was so lovely and creamy. Tasted like a dessert and it was perfect with my apple for lunch because the chia seeds and oats will keep me full.
Glynis says
This was delicious as a snack! They had a sale on frozen peaches, so I decided to try this out. The oats and chia were perfect to support my current breastfeeding needs, and I have to admit, I drank the whole damn thing. I didn’t have OJ so I just used more almond milk!
sabrinaa says
I’m Allergic To Bananas What’s Another Frozen Fruit I Can Use ?
Can I Freeze The Peaches ?
jeanne talberg says
I made a peach dish and brought some to my elderly mother….her first comment was, ” I never liked peaches all that much…” Leave it to her to deflate me right there and then. A few hours later, I got a phone call from her. Mind you, this woman never touches a phone voluntarily! She called to tell me how wonderful the peach dish (bread pudding) was! SO, that being said… Peaches Rule! If ya thought you don’t care for them, try them again. Maybe you will change your mind…try this smoothie. That will “seal the deal”
P. Stone says
I found this recipe after searching Google for a peach smoothie recipe. It was so good that even my husband, who is not a fan of smoothies, chugged it down and asked me to make more.
That’s a huge compliment! Husband approved :D
Lindsey says
This is my new favorite smoothie. I used frozen peaches and good maple syrup. Someone online suggested 2/3 cup peaches = 1 peach. They probably were referencing fresh and not frozen peaches, but you might use that as a rough guide. Thanks for the recipe!
Kate says
Just made this smoothie and it is DELICIOUS!!! Thank you so much for the recipe! :)
Yay! Glad you liked it, Kate.
Moya says
I love smoothies for breakfast and this is a delicious combination of flavors. This smoothie would brighten anyones day. :)
Jessica says
One more question…are the oats the quick kind or the traditional long cooking variety? Thanks! I am new to the world of smoothies, just got a blendtec and have fallen in love! :)
Just regular rolled oats! Good question.
Sharbear says
I have steel cut oats. Is that the same as rolled oats?
Jessica says
Frozen peaches – about what amount would you use in place of fresh?
Deborah says
I loved this! I had to use frozen peaches since it is April in the Midwest, but this smoothie reminded me of peach pie. Yum!
Love it! I rely on frozen fruits a lot as we’re in the Midwest, too. Glad you enjoyed this smoothie, Deborah!
Lady says
I recently stumbled upon your blog and have saved several of your recipes that I want to try. I printed off one of those recipes, but the words are so small and makes it hard to read, even though my vision is good. Please help me to figure out how I can print out your recipes with bigger letters.
Sneha says
This sounds so delicious!! I’m a new fan of home-made smoothies and juices….But I have just a blender! But your smoothies and juice recipes are helping me a lot from spending extra money on the expensive juicer!! :)
Glad I could help, Sneha!
Robyn says
Delicious! Sipping one as I type :) Healthy and yum, what more could you ask for?
Love to hear it!
Jackie says
Hi — I just found your blog this weekend and I am already obsessed! I made a batch of the pumpkin currant bread (with dried cherries substituted in) with the cashew maple frosting. I also tried out your favorite green smoothie recipe today (yum) and then just made a batch of this smoothie wish strawberries substituted for the peaches since I didn’t have any peaches. Its still great – I even added a bunch of spinach at the end because I like to start my day with veggies. Thank you so much for your recipes and great blog!
You are so kind! Thanks for reaching out and saying hello, Jackie. Stick around and let us know if you have any recipe requests. I aim to please :D. Hugs!
Jodee Weiland says
Looks delicious! Great idea to start your day!
Marly says
Love this recipe – can’t wait to give it a try!
V says
YUMMY! Looks delicious.
I was told by my doctor whole oats is AWESOME for healthy eating & great as fiber. He also suggested NOT to combine it w/ fruit/vegetables. Fruit/vegetables have so much nutrients & vitamins so eating it w/ oats will absorb both away & will easily be brushed away from our system. It would be best to eat oats a few hours after eating fruits &/or vegetables to stay w/ these nutrients/vitamins.
TS says
Could you freeze this? Trying to come up with light, nutritious things my daughter can have between school and field hockey practice. I work so I need something I can pull from the freezer and keep in the work fridge/freezer.
Yes! You can freeze it. Just do so in a ball jar or something and then let it set out for an hour or so before consuming. Hope that helps!
Nathalie says
Looks yummy! perfect for a summer day!
lb says
Why frozen banana? I’ve never had a good smoothie where the banana was frozen and I’ve had a lot of banana smoothies.
Frozen banana is the KEY to a creamy, naturally sweetened smoothie without any ice. I love using frozen fruit in general in place of ice cubes to keep it creamy. Plus, I like my smoothies super thick and creamy, which is easily achieved with frozen bananas. Hope that helps!
Robert Wall says
The banana’s creaminess is so much so, in fact, that I know a lady who runs frozen bananas through her juicer (obviously they don’t juice – they turn into a semi-frozen puree) to make a banana “ice cream” for her grandkids.
Apparently the grandkids think it’s quite awesome. :)
rika@veganmiam.com says
Gorgeous photos and divine peach oat smoothies :) :)
Mariam says
Ah how I miss peaches! Cannot wait til summer reaches my side of the world, I love them soo much and always have – on it’s own, on overnight oats, with pancakes… you’re get my drift. This smoothie looks like bliss! I can imaginessoaking the oats would help achieving a creamy consistency (for my crappy blender) and nake it easier to digest too!
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Love oat smoothies and this looks so tempting right now :)
Katie says
I can’t get enough fruit lately…especially peaches! This looks fantastic!
Sarah Crowder (punctuated. with food) says
My whole family would love this – thanks for the idea! And the photos are gorgeous.
Courtney says
Perfect timing! Just this morning on my drive to work I was dreaming about making a peach & oat smoothie with some of the beautiful ripe peaches I have from the farmers market. I’m totally making this for breakfast tomorrow :)
Amanda @ Once Upon a Recipe says
Sounds like a smoothie with serious staying power. Yum!
Tammela says
Sounds fantastic!
Ash- foodfashionparty says
What a perfect breakfast…wish I could have a glass now.
Chanille says
This looks so yummy!
kimberly says
Quick question: How do you clean the straws after drinking a smoothie? I would make smoothies on-the-go more often, but it’s tough to get the stuff out of the straw after a morning of errands, etc.
EASY! First, rinse them out as soon as possible when you get home, but if not, no biggie. Wash them with a scrubber, soap and hot water and to get that tough build up down the inside of the straw, stick a wet q-tip down the middle and blast it through with warm water. Do this several times until you have a clean straw! Hope that helps :D
LORI says
I use pipe cleaners.
Julie says
I bought a straw cleaner at Bed Bath & Beyond. Basically a long skinny brush.
Kimberly says
Thanks for the tips!
Linda Muse says
I use pipe cleaners. Easy. Cheap. Re-usable a few times.
Sandie says
Smart idea
Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog says
I love peaches – can’t get enough of them over the summer. I had them in a spinach salad about a month ago. They were perfect.
Joy //For the Love of Leaves says
Peaches aren’t my favorite fruit, but this sounds really good! Wish I had one right now.
Sophie says
Yum! Smoothies are seriously meh jam! These sound fantastic!
Alexandra @ Lean Green Healthy Machine says
Yum! I’ve been loving peaches in my oatmeal lately, so maybe I should try it in smoothie form! I have also been known to make peanut butter peach smoothies (I can’t resist adding peanut butter to everything!). Beautiful photos!
Julia says
Would you share your peanut Butter Peach smoothie recipe?
Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate says
This looks so refreshing! I forgot about peaches a lot, I will have to make this the next time a smoothie craving strikes!
Tieghan says
I have alway eaten all fruit, I love them!! I think it funny you only like canned pears since I kind of despise them. A texture thing. LOL!
I love peaches though and have a ton of them, plus lot of chia seeds! So I cannot wait to make this!
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
Gah! I have so many peaches right now. This sounds perfect!
