Fresh ginger brings out the natural sweetness of ripe fruit to create this protein-packed breakfast smoothie – perfect for any time of the year.
No surprises here, but I have another delicious smoothie to share with you! This Blueberry Ginger Peach Smoothie not only tastes amazing, but is also a fantastic source of antioxidants and vitamins. When in season, making this with freshly picked berries and peaches is seriously one of my favorite things. But it still tastes great with frozen or canned produce as well!
Ingredients
- Peach: Juicy and naturally sweet, with a hint of acidity that balances out the flavors.
- Blueberries: Bright and fresh, slightly tart and sweet, and makes the smoothie a beautiful color.
- Banana: Adds a creaminess and lots of vitamins to the smoothie.
- Fresh ginger: Slightly peppery and sweet, it pairs deliciously with fruit and heightens the natural sweetness. If you don’t have fresh ginger, ginger paste is a great alternative to keep in your fridge.
- Vanilla protein powder: Use your favorite! Plant-based or milk-based, the protein helps to keep you feeling full until lunch.
- Flaxseed meal: Mostly flavorless, but adds a ton of nutritional value with omega-3s, fiber, and antioxidants.
How to Make a Blueberry Ginger Peach Smoothie
Start your Blueberry Ginger Peach Smoothie by adding peach slices to your blender.
Next, you’ll add your blueberries.
Followed by a fresh or frozen banana.
Sprinkle in the flaxseed meal.
Then add fresh slices or cubes of ginger.
Finish with your favorite protein powder and some water.
Blend everything together, adding ice until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
Pour evenly into two or more glasses, garnish with extra blueberries (if you’re feeling fancy), and enjoy your Blueberry Ginger Peach Smoothie.
Change Things Up
- Switch the berry. Ginger and peach pair well with lots of berries. Try blackberries or raspberries instead!
- Change out the flaxseed. Try it with chia seeds or hemp seeds for a different nutritional boost.
- Replace the water. Instead of water, you could use almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, or dairy milk to adjust the consistency of your smoothie.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I still need to add ice to frozen fruit?
If you use frozen fruit, you don’t need to add ice to get the frosty, smoothie consistency, unless you want it thicker.
Can you leave skin on peaches for smoothies?
Yes you can! Especially if you have a high-powered blender, you won’t even notice if you leave the skin on.
How do I store leftover smoothie?
You can freeze it for up to 3 months, or keep it in the fridge for 24-36 hours (although the consistency will get thinner the longer you wait to finish it).

I made this for breakfast this morning, and we both really enjoyed it. The combination of flavors and the flavor balance are perfect. I ended up doing individual servings in my Magic Bullet cups, and only had room for two ice cubes, so they were kind of room temperature. Because of that, next time I will either freeze my banana, blueberries, peaches, or do it in the big blender so I can add more ice. Actually, using frozen blueberries and peaches would make this an all-year-around smoothie… :-) I also appreciate that this is my kind of smoothie, with no changes needed – a very unusual experience. Unless I’m using a whole cup of Greek yogurt, I always put in protein powder to get the protein level up, and flaxseed is another ingredient I always use.
Wow thank you so much for your nice words Susan!!! I love mine super icy as well so I don’t blame you for using frozen fruit next time!
I love smoothies and am always looking for new ideas. This one sounds amazing, so I’ll be trying it soon. Thank you for posting this.
I hope you enjoy it Susan!
I want to lick fall!! Favorite season fo’ sure! And I am so digging your smoothie recipes. Love me some ginger!
LOL I want to lick it too!!! How come you so funny?
Great smoothie, Liz! I love peaches and ginger together! Sounds like you guys have a great fall ahead of you :)
Thank you Kelli!! I just think peaches and ginger should be BFFs. :)
I am so ready for fall but will definitely miss all of the fresh fruit of summer! Love combining ginger and peach! Great smoothie!
I know tell me about it – I’m already sad about strawberries!!
I’m with you on the fresh fruits. I really wish we could get fresh berries all year long! I’m not going to complain since the strawberry season has just begun here in Australia, but it’s always too short! Can’t wait for summer to be here (in December!) to enjoy delicious fruits.
I’ve never tried adding ginger to my smoothie. Gonna try that next time! Thanks for sharing :)
I’m so jealous your strawberry season is just beginning!! Enjoy it on my behalf!!
What a pretty smoothie!! I have never added ginger to a smoothie, sounds so good!!!
Fall has a special place in my heart too – my anniversary, sons birthday, and now another sons birthday! What I’m missing for my fall is the cooler temps and the changing of the leaves…that gets pushed to winter here, but I can deal :)
I love fall babies!!! You will love the ginger – when I forget it my smoothie is majorly lacking!!
I miss the fresh fruit once autumn comes, too. But wow, you really do have a lot to look forward to in the near future! How exciting and memorable this fall will be :)
Love everything in this smoothie- you’ve reminded me to stock up on protein powder!
Thank you Christy – it’s going to be a great season!! :-)
I looooove blueberry & ginger together, so I just know this smoothie is killer!
I think we should have my smoothie for breakfast and your sammie for lunch!!
Ahhhhh. Gotta love a blueberry smoothie. Nice pics!
Thanks so much Marla! I’m going to miss fruit season, that’s for sure.
I am loving smoothies of any kind. I pretty much always start the day with a smoothie. So much nutrition you can pack in it. Congrats on the birth of your second son :-)
Ohh I’m actually not due until early November!! I was just listing the many reasons I’m excited for fall – ahaha..I agree with you on smoothies!!!
I love ginger, but I always forget about it. This sounds so refreshing!
Whenever I leave it out of a smoothie it’s missing something!!
Great recipe – and pretty and delicious looking!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Dan! Enjoy!
