Alisa’s Notes
Since I have tested and approved this peach melba sunset smoothie recipe as one I would repeat, I’ve added it to the “Alisa’s Recipes” section and the pictures shown here are my own. Here are the modifications that I have recommended in the recipe and optional adaptions:
Milk Beverage Amount: Using the full 3/4 cup milk beverage that Shelly called for makes a thin sunset smoothie (the raspberry mixture falls right down the center! It took a bit of work to get the pink to emerge in streaks). For a thicker blend that is easier to layer, start with 1/2 cup milk beverage and add more as desired.
Lower Sugar: If you want to go all “Unsweetened” with the milk beverage and dairy-free yogurt, or if your peach isn’t very ripe, you can brighten the flavor with a few drops of pure stevia.
Keep the Peel: I peeled the peach, as Shelly recommended, for these pictures, but if you don’t mind little peach skin flecks in your peach melba sunset smoothie, you can skip the peeling.
Special Diet Notes: Peach Melba Sunset Smoothie
By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan / plant-based, vegetarian, top allergen-free, and optionally paleo.
- 1 frozen very ripe banana, broken into chunks
- 1 peach, peeled, pitted and chopped
- ½ to ¾ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Original Coconut Milk Beverage (see "Alisa's Notes" above)
- 2 tablespoons So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Vanilla Cultured Coconut Milk
- 1 teaspoon honey (or agave nectar for vegan)
- 14 raspberries, 2 reserved for garnish
- In a blender combine the frozen banana, peach, milk beverage, dairy-free yogurt, and honey or agave nectar. Blend until smooth.
- Pour most of the peach mixture into a serving glass, leaving about ⅓ cup in the blender. Add 12 raspberries to the blender, and blend until smooth.
- Pour the raspberry mixture on top of the peach mixture and use skewer or a thin knife to push the raspberry mixture down the sides of the glass to create pretty streaked ‘sunset’ appearance. Garnish with the additional raspberries.

This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it. I just learned I’m allergic to dairy and soy (!) so I am still struggling a bit. I’m ‘hacking’ recipes left and right already and it’s so nice to find your site. Thank you so much for sharing!! 🙂
I’m glad you found my site, too, Michelle! You’ll be creating your own marvelous recipes in no time! It’s an exponential learning curve, tough at first, but it quickly becomes second nature!
So delicious. It looks and sounds fantastic.
Thank you Michelle!
I have had bad luck finding good peaches this year, but this very much inspires to me to get back out there and find the few that are left. This is uncommonly pretty!
Really?! Where you are I’d think they would be everywhere Dorothy! Hopefully some nice late season peaches come your way 🙂
I love anything Peach Melba! It is my favorite Jam but I never thought of a smoothie. This I have got to try. Thanks!
I love peaches and paired with raspberries this smoothie just has to be so refreshing and delicious.
This smoothie looks delicious, I love how you give it the layered look by adding the raspberries only in the top blend… my kids would think this is so cool!
I know, it’s too much fun this way, and a tasty divide 🙂
LOVE that color!!!
I am LOVING the peaches this year – so good! this is such a pretty presentation, and I can imagine how good it tastes!
Yes, definitely as tasty as it looks!
So pretty! It does look like a sunset 😉
Thanks Rebecca!
