Blending up a peach and raspberry smoothie is a fantastic way to satisfy a dessert craving. If you like Peach Melba, then you’ll love this recipe. When you fancy something sweet but healthy, smoothies like this are the perfect option.
In this article – we share an easy peach and raspberry smoothie recipe that’s healthy, delicious, and dairy-free.
This peach melba smoothie is perfect for breakfast, as a snack between meals, or served as a healthy dessert. Peaches and raspberries are both in season during late summer, between August and September. This means they’re super-sweet, ridiculously juicy, and at their nutritious peak in terms of vitamin content.
Peach & Raspberry Smoothie Benefits
One large peach contains about 20% of your daily vitamin C needs, which helps keep your immune system strong.
It also has around 10% of your vitamin A, dietary fibre, and potassium, which keep your eyes healthy, digestion balanced, and energy levels up.
Ingredients & Recipe Instructions

Our simple, 3-ingredient version is vegan-friendly and even healthier, yet maintains the sweet, creamy flavours of an indulgent treat.

Smoothie FAQs
If you prefer your peach smoothie recipe without yogurt (even dairy-free vegan yogurt), then simply swap it out for frozen banana whip. You can find the instructions in our article on How To Make a Smoothie Without Yogurt or Milk.
For a really healthy peach smoothie, it’s best to use fresh produce. But if that’s not possible then we think tinned is better than no fruit at all. Just be sure to buy the versions in fruit juice or water rather than syrup.
If you have a high-powered blender then you don’t need to skin peaches before adding them to smoothies.
When adding peaches to smoothies, cut them in half, twist, and remove the stone. Then cut the two segments in half, and then halve again so they’ll fit into your blender.
We like to make all our recipes vegan because we’re not big fans of milk. Using a dairy-free yogurt made from soy or coconut means there are no animal products involved. But if you prefer dairy then it’s super-easy to adapt it based on your tastes.
