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.

What a unique idea for a smoothie… And I LOVE the color of it!! So pretty 🙂
Thanks a lot!
Great flavor combination Olivia. Thanks for a new smoothie recipe.
Thanks, Kathy!
I love the pretty color of this smoothie! I don’t have the most powerful blender, so I’m always hesitant to try adding carrots to my smoothies. One of these days maybe I’ll get a Vitamix gift! 🙂
I don’t have Vitamix either, but I use my blender from kitchen Aid and it works fine, Kristine 😉
I’m a cooked veggie kind of gal also! But I probably wouldn’t say no to one of these smoothies! Love peach anything.
Thanks, beautiful 😉
I love love the idea of adding carrot to this smoothie! It gives off a GORGEOUS color and I’ll bet it adds a fantastic flavor along with the peaches—I, like you usually only like my veggies cooked too, but you wouldn’t have to twist my arm to try this be-yootiful smoothie! Pinned. 🙂
Smoothies with carrots are delicious, Sarah! You should try this recipe 😉
I love this smoothie flavor, Olivia! Such a great combination and gorgeous color, too! Definitely trying this one out. Pinned!
Thanks a lot, my dear!
I adore peach and carrot smoothies, and had never thought to combine the two into one delicious bevvie. This smoothie looks amazing, dear! So creamy and full of flavor!
You should give this recipe a try my dear friend. You would love it 😉
This looks divine I just want you to know you don’t actually have the carrots listed in the ingredients though.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I used 1 cup baby carrots. Any other questions let me know 😉
Olivia! This smoothie rocks! Love the flavor combo and the pretty peachy color! Pinned!
Thanks my friend!
I like raw veggies, but only a few of them. Most I prefer cooked! I don’t think I’ve ever had a carrot in a smoothie! I bet it goes really well with fruit since they can be sweet, too. I don’t see the carrot listed in your recipe though. How much do you add? Thanks, lady!
Hi, Leah. Sorry about that. It was a typo. I used 1 cup baby carrots. Thank you 😉
YUM! Delicious! I need to make this!!!
Thanks, my dear!
I had never thought to add carrots to a smoothie! But why not? They’re sweet, and full of nutrition. I bet this tastes amazing.
Tastes awesome, my dear and beautiful friend 😉
I, too, enjoy smoothies all year around.. Smoothies are so versatile, and they pack a lot of nutrients and foods into them.. this smoothie looks delicious.. love the flavours!! 😀
I couldn’t agree more with you 😉
Lovely combination of flavors for this smoothie! And look, you’re getting your raw veg in there! HA! I think I prefer to drink my raw veggies. One can get so many more in that way! Thank you, Olivia! This is delicious!
I love drinking my veggies too. Thanks for stopping by 😉
Smoothies are a go-to breakfast for me so I’m always looking for new combos! Peaches are a favorite of mine as well … and I love the addition of carrots! Plus, it’s so pretty!
Smoothies are a go-to breakfast for me too, Ashley! Peach and carrot are great together. ou would love this recipe!
Ok, so excited! For one because I found you through Sarah’s blog after her blog tour post (I was the one that nominated her so it was fun to see who she nominated) As soon as I saw one of your photos I knew I would love you, that healthy food photography sucked me right now!
Loving this smoothie, totally would have never thought of adding the carrots in, but they are sweet so why not! Definitely making this one soon!
HI, Krista. Thank you so much for stopping by. I am so glad you like my healthy food photography. I also visit your blog and I love it. Thank you so much for your kind comment 😉
Love the flavours Olivia!! Smoothies are always a go to for me, and just tonight I was looking for a new flavour to try. I’ve got to try this one.
Glad you like this recipe, Jess!
Interesting combo! I can imagine that the 2 flavours will blend into each other quite softly. It’s the kind of drink that restaurants make money out of so easily – smoothies sell so well nowadays. I wish I we had a juicer 🙁
love your comment! Thanks a lot, Tash!
Great idea to add the carrot. Peach smoothies are my favourite and this sounds delicious.
Thanks a lot, Dannii!
