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.
More Grape Smoothie Recipes
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.

This one will be added to my list of favorites!
I really like the orange and pineapple together. I swapped out strawberries for the grapes and it was amazing- store still didn’t have good grapes.
I made this recipe with berry fruit tea instead of water. It doesn’t have any actual tea, but fruits and flowers in it. Wanted to give it a try. I also used a kiwi since I didn’t have any grapes. I am surprised no recipes in this challenge called for kiwis. It was not as sweet as I thought it would be, but must have been from the tea. It was refreshing and a little thinner than other smoothies I’ve made, but still a good taste.
Good smoothie, but if not a fan of green grapes, suggest swapping for something else. Refreshing smoothie with a nice green color.
Yummm that’s good!:)
I swapped out a clementine for the orange and my blender can‘t handle it (far from smooth). The taste was good, the texture not so much.
Enjoyed it.
Another great smoothie on Day 10, but Day 7 was my favorite. They have all been so good and filling. I feel great and have more energy since doing the smoothie every day. I’m planning to continue, too. They are easy to fix and so healthy. Thank you all so much for the help and encouragement.
Thank you for everything. I will now be having a green smoothie every morning thanks to you.
SO, SO good! Actually one of our favorites. Great recipes Jen!
I’m not a fan of grapes in my smoothies, so I’m giving this a 3 as suggested but when I substituted mango for grape it went up to a 5. Super refreshing. Yum.
Yummy!
I really enjoy this smoothie, it was very fresh tasting and light.

A new favourite. Really liked this one.
I have loved ALL these smoothies, including ones where I substituted for a more favored ingredient. 🙂
Day 10
Super yummy! I used red grapes and could believe the taste…wow!
This smoothie is really special. I love the green grapes! Made it such a vibrant color. I do a green smoothie every day, but I’m still sad the 10 day challenge ended so fast!
enjoyed all the green smoothies
Bright & refreshing; love flavour the pineapple adds. Did add my flax & chia to the mix again,
