This Peach Carrot Smoothie is refreshing and delicious and has only four ingredients: banana, peach, coconut water, and Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
I love smoothies every time of the year. Some of my favorite recipes I’ve already posted here on my blog are my Strawberry Papaya Smoothie and Spicy Pineapple Peach Smoothie. For me, one of the best fruits to add to a smoothie is definitely peaches. They are so sweet and in many cases, you don’t even need to add sugar to make a flavorful smoothie.
This time, I decided to add carrots as well. I’ve gotta be honest with you guys, I am not the type of person who likes to eat raw veggies. I mean I LOVE veggies, but I prefer to eat them when they are cooked. Maybe the reason why is because where I grew up in Brazil, it is not very common to eat raw veggies like here in North America. However, we do eat lots of veggies. I mean LOTS, and all the time since Brazil is a tropical country where everything grows year round.
Many times I watch my husband eating a huge bowl of baby carrots and I just think: “How he can do that!!??” I really admire a person who likes to eat raw veggies. But I am pretty happy already because after living 4 years together with him, I already got used to eating raw peppers and broccoli, which is awesome! But, I still have a hard time eating raw carrots and celery.
Two weeks ago, he had to travel for work and I was alone at home thinking: “What I will do with the bag of baby carrots in the fridge??!” I had to think of a recipe with carrots because I hate throwing food in the garbage. When I think about that, I just remember my mom saying to me when I was little: “Please eat everything on your plate because there are so many kids on this planet that don’t have anything to eat”.
I bet all our moms said the same thing to you once during our childhood, right? So, I thought of making a smoothie because the carrot is still raw, but to camouflage the raw flavor, I had some natural sweetener from the peach.
And guys let me tell you: THIS SMOOTHIE ROCKS!! I loved it so much that the next day, I made the same recipe again for breakfast before prepping these Spicy Chicken with Sauteed Cabbage and Zucchini Bowls for lunch!!! Love, love, love!!!
That was the little story about this smoothie recipe creation! I really hope you like this peach carrot smoothie and give it a try 😉 If you have a ton of peaches like I have, you need to try my Peach Green Smoothie or Peach Salsa.
Peach Carrot Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of peach
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt optional
- 1 cup coconut water or water
- 1 tbsp honey optional. My peaches were already very sweet so I didn’t add honey
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all ingredients together and blend until smooth. Blend for about 30 seconds.
- If you prefer, strain the smoothie to make it even smoother.
Notes
- Feel free to use frozen peaches if peaches are not in season.
- Avoid using canned peaches as they are packed in syrup.
- A frozen banana will make the smoothie creamier. You can freeze the banana the night before or a few hours before making the smoothie.
- To store: You can store the smoothie for an extra day in the fridge but you'll have to give it a mix as the smoothie may separate in the fridge.
- To freeze: Freeze the smoothie in an airtight container with some space on top as the smoothie will expand.

I have to say that I’m one of those people who love eating raw veggies! I never thought to add carrots to a smoothie, but I think I’m going to have to try this in my next smoothie. I bet they add a beautiful colour too – maybe even a great thing to add to a “green” smoothie?
I just made this smoothie and I LOVE IT!! I never thought to add carrots to a smoothie. Thanks for the recipe!
Happy to hear that 😉
I just found your recipe off Pinterest, and I love it! Beautiful colors from the peach and carrots. I’m in a smoothie phase right now, so I’m looking forward to trying this! Pinned 🙂
That’s awesome. Happy you liked it 😉
Just wanted to let you know that you have this listed as dairy free but the Greek yogurt is dairy. But I totally going to try this smoothie today!
Yes it is. Im sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out 😉
I made your peach smoothie today ! It was terrific! Just what I needed this afternoon!
And I too….LOVED LOVED LOVED!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for stopping by to comment!
This recipe sounds delicious. I love the taste of raw carrots, so it will be an asset rather than something that needs to be covered up. BTW, Greek yogurt is made using cow or goat milk. I can’t have dairy, so I will substitute canned coconut milk. Yum!
coconut milk will work just fine 😉
Can I sub anything for the coconut water? I’ve tried it and I just can’t get my taste buds behind it. I’m sure it will mix in for most people but not me.
You can use only water or orange juice or even beet juice.
Do you think an immersion blender would work to chop the carrots up? I’ll try some peach yogurt maybe and see what juice i have on hand. may be the one way I can start to get more veggies!
I think it may work but I can’t say for sure because I’ve never made it with an immersion blender.
This looks interesting and yummy. I’m planning on giving it to the kids to sneak in some extra veggies. I wanted to try it this week but my husband came home from the grocery store with canned peaches. Would the taste come out the same?
Yes no problem. You can use canned peaches 😉
Just wondering if I have to peel the peaches?
If you have a powerful blender you don’t need to peel the peaches.
so healthy and refreshing!love it, thanks for sharing
You’re very welcome 😉
Hello Olivia, I have been searching smoothies and it seems like 99.9% have banana in the recipe. For those of us who have an intolerance to bananas, do you recommend a certain fruit in place of it or just skip the banana all together?
Yes you can use avocado instead of banana.
I have this Green Smoothie made with avocado that it’s very good. I think you’ll like it.
Loved it!
So happy you liked it!
I can’t see how there’s 12 grams of protein in this peach carrot smoothie…. ?
You’re absolutely right — that was a mistake. This smoothie doesn’t have 12g of protein as written. I’ll update the nutrition info to reflect the correct amount. Thank you so much for pointing it out! 💛
