Are Peaches Healthy?

Always consult with your own doctor or your child’s pediatrician before making any changes to your diet or your child’s diet/feeding approach. Read the full disclaimer here.
Peaches are not only delicious, but they also offer a variety of nutrients!
On top of all the health benefits, peaches are also naturally sweet when they are ripe. This means that you won’t have to add as much table sugar or artificial sweeteners in recipes that use ripe peaches.
They also make great first food for babies and the perfect snack for toddlers since it is so soft and quite easy to chew or mash up.
Here are some of the good stuff you’ll find in peaches:
- Vitamin C – Like many fruits, peaches are full of vitamin C which is important for building a healthy immune system.
- Vitamin A – Peaches are a decent source of vitamin A, which is also important for the immune system and eye health.
- Fiber – Peaches are a great source of fiber, which promotes good digestion and gut health. I often recommend it for children who are struggling with constipation.
How to Store Make-Ahead Peach Recipes
While the exact storage recommendations will differ based on the recipe, many recipes made with peaches can be made ahead of time and then stored for convenience.
Refrigerator Storage
- Typically lasts 3-5 days
- Store in airtight containers or mason jars
- When storing fresh, cut-up peaches make sure to add a squeeze of lemon so they won’t brown up easily
- Label with the date so you don’t forget when you prepped them
Freezer Storage
- Typically lasts 1-3 months
- Use freezer-safe containers or silicone trays
- Freeze on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a bag to avoid sticking
- Label everything with the name + date
Pantry Storage
- Store in a cool, dry pantry
- Keep in airtight containers or zip-top bags
- Add a paper towel to reduce moisture if needed
Notes & Suggestions
- Fresh peaches are ideal, but frozen peaches work well in most recipes too. Unless the recipe calls for it, I wouldn’t recommend using canned peaches since they’re often bathed in juice which may contain added sugars.
- Stick to low-sugar ingredients when possible
- Always check for added sugars or preservatives in store-bought items
- Many of these recipes are great for meal prep, but double check each recipe for instructions on how to store properly
- Most recipes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Frozen recipes last 1–2 months in freezer-safe containers
- Smoothie ingredients can be frozen in individual portions and blended fresh each day
