Ingredients You’ll Need
This smoothie keeps things simple with just five ingredients that work beautifully together. If you’re new to smoothies, check out my how to make a smoothie guide.
- Spinach: This is my favorite leafy green vegetable to use in smoothies. It’s high in fiber and nutrients and blends in completely without leaving any flavor.
- Water: A clean, neutral base that lets the fruit flavors shine.
- Orange: Brings natural sweetness and bright citrus flavor.
- Green grapes: Mild, juicy, and naturally sweet—great for smoothies.
- Frozen pineapple: Adds tropical flavor and creates a cold, creamy texture.

How to Make a Grape Smoothie
This green grape smoothie is quick to blend and beginner-friendly.
- Start by adding the spinach and water to your blender and blend until smooth. This helps prevent leafy chunks.
- Add the orange, grapes, and frozen pineapple, then blend again until creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the freshest flavor.
Recipe Tips for Best Results
- Check grapes for seeds before blending (I always use seedless grapes).
- Use frozen pineapple to chill the smoothie without ice. You can cut pineapple and freeze it yourself.
- If your grapes aren’t very sweet, add an additional natural sweetener.
- A high-speed blender for smoothies creates the smoothest texture, but any blender will work with a little extra blending time.
Grape Smoothie vs. Grape Juice
When it comes to “drinking” grapes, blending wins every time. Juicing removes the fiber, which helps slow digestion, supports gut health, and keeps blood sugar steady. Smoothies keep the whole fruit intact, giving your body the full package—fiber, nutrients, and natural sweetness—while also helping you feel full longer. That’s why I reach for smoothies like this green grape blend instead of juice.

Grapes are often overlooked in smoothies, yet they add a light sweetness that pairs well with greens and creamy ingredients. If you enjoy this one, you might also love my peach spinach smoothie, almond butter smoothie (uses red grapes), or green tea smoothie—each one uses grapes a little differently for variety.

I enjoyed the grape smoothie because it wasn’t sweet! I’m a black coffee girl so I don’t enjoy overly sweet morning smoothies.
I love how tart this one is!! Delicious and filling!!
This green grape smoothie is very refreshing. Not too sweet! I added hemp hearts for my protein.
Not as thick as most smoothies, but still delicious. Used coconut water and added chia seeds.
Well 4 hours into to my work day and got to admit this green grape smoothie tast so good and refreshing Certainly give me give me a pickup to get though a 12 hour shift thanks for a great recipe
This one is great! I used red grapes, and it satisfied my sweet tooth… Also, thanks for the info about the difference between juicing and blending….very helpful! Have a great day!
Fresh, bright green and refreshing. Enjoyed after my morning walk. Very hydrating as well
Love smoothies with an orange, plus the pineapple, gives it such a fresh taste. Sweetness, just the right amount, a healthy sweetness
I might have a new favorite! I have never put grapes in a smoothie, what a nice surprise. I often freeze grapes if they aren’t being eaten, now I have a new purpose for them. The pith of the orange gave a nice tang.
This smoothie is a delicious addition to breakfast. It’s sweet, but not too sweet. Yum!
Had this for breakfast this morning and loved the taste of it. I only had 1/2 cup of spinach so also added a handful of romaine lettuce as well. Was very light and refreshing and a great start to the day.
I definitely don’t think of grapes in a smoothie, but great addition! The orange and pineapple make this smoothie very ‘citrusy’…which isn’t MY favorite, but it’s still good. 😉
Sweet and refreshing! I prefer green grapes to red from when I’ve made this one before. But always a delicious go to!
I should have frozen the grapes as my pineapple is fresh so a little warm, but good! Added a banana because I had a very brown one to use up.
I love this one! It’s absolutely delicious!
Another great smoothie! I added some additional kale greens as I am trying to boost my iron through greens.
Love grapes and loved this smoothie.
This one tastes like summer! The grapes add just the right amount of sweetness. Another winner!
This was fantastic! Even got my 30 year old son interested and he had one as well. He turns his nose up to “green” stuff in a smoothie but tried it anyway. He loved it and actually said he’d make it on his own tomorrow. That is HUGE!
Thanks for all of the great ideas and getting me back on track!
Was very sweet and good!
I had frozen grapes in the fridge so I used those and added a little extra water for blendability. Sweet yumminess!
