Creamy and refreshing, these delicious Peach Banana Chia Seed Smoothies are perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack anytime.
I love using chia seeds in smoothies and have shared a couple of my favorites here including my Strawberry Banana Chia Seed Smoothies and my Chocolate Banana Chia Seed Smoothies. Today, I’m sharing another favorite, these delicious Peach Banana Chia Seed Smoothies.
Peach Season
Late summer is peach season here in New England and peach picking is a favorite family activity. We are currently up at our lake house in Grand Isle, Vermont. There aren’t any peach orchards here on the island, so, peach picking will have to wait until we return to our house in Massachusetts.
Luckily, the local island market and some of the larger farm stands often carry fresh off-island peaches, and my husband was able to pick up some fresh peaches at the market this week.
Yesterday, after my morning run, I spied the peaches in the fruit basket. I decided to make a batch of these delicious and refreshing Peach Banana Chia Seed Smoothies.
Peaches and bananas are such a nice combination. The chia seeds add additional fiber and protein. This recipe makes two smoothies, one was the perfect post-run snack. My husband, who was working from home, enjoyed the other.
Chia Seeds are Natural Thickeners
I love using frozen bananas in smoothies, such as this, as then you don’t need to add ice, which can melt and water down the smoothies. Chia seeds are also natural thickeners. They expand when they absorb liquid. So, if you can’t enjoy the whole batch immediately, these smoothies keep quite nicely in the refrigerator.
These creamy, refreshing smoothies are so easy to make. They are perfect for a healthy breakfast or delicious snack anytime.

Instructions

Notes
If your peaches are nice and sweet, you may not need to add the honey. If your peaches are not very sweet you may want to add the honey or sweetener of choice.

This sounds like a great, I would love the combo for fruit flavors.
I want to wake up to THIS!! And I think it’s awesome to find peaches and bananas and chia seeds all in one place!! AND in one sip!
Great idea to add chia seeds. Now that my daughter’s braces are off, we can use chia again. (She used to complain they got stuck in her braces LOL.)

This smoothie looks so fresh, I love adding chia seeds to my smoothies too to make them a little healthier! I also love peaches in my smoothies, this seems like a great recipe for using peaches that are getting over ripe that you need to stick in the freezer.

I still have left over fresh peaches and this would be perfect for this recipe. Great way to start the morning off right.
I don’t like ice in my smoothies so the frozen banana is perfect. We are still getting peaches here in Georgia although they are almost gone. What a great way to enjoy them.
