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.

Honestly this one was not my favorite. I was a bit surprised. I really thought I would enjoy this on first sip. I love every ingredient in this smoothie but I was surprised by the taste. In the future, I may add something to this to get to something I like.
This one is not my favorite, but we made an absolutely delicious one! Thank you challenge!
Crushingly good!
I found the smoothie quite thin so I added a banana coconut flakes and chia seeds. Also substituted cherries for grapes as grapes are very pricey right now and added cucumber for added hydration. I am a Rawkstar, made it to day 10!
Day 10 Citrus Crush Love Love Loved this smoothie. Great citrusy flavor.
This is a delicious dreamy smoothie. I liked the smoothie challenge so much I’m going to start over tomorrow.
I like this one the best so far. And it was so neat to go out in my front yard and get orange off our orange tree to put in it. This was a first for me, since I’m from New York! it was very good and my husband and I really liked it. thank you.
Great day 10. This was fun. Great new recipes to try. Will make several again as regulars.
Love green grapes in my smoothies. Will make it again!
Here for Rawkstar Bingo to rate Day 10 smoothie on the blog! 5/5! Uplifting citrus treat!
Oh boy! The last smoothie of the challenge! It was delicious . I got quite stressed about an hour ago thinking what will I do tomorrow. I jumped up and started preparing the first 5 days again!
Thank you for the challenge it’s made a great change to both myself and husband……
I will make this one again! Yummy
I swapped the orange for mango due to a sensitivity, plus added 1 cup water. However the swap worked well. I really enjoyed this and will make it again.
Super tasty!
Another great smoothie! Love the taste of this one.
Unfortunately my husband ate the last orange so I had to substitute with peaches and apple. I was so looking forward to it. But it was still good. Oh well I will be continuing so I will have a chance to have it again.
If there was a way a way to put 5+ I would.
So delish and refreshing!
Citrus crush was my favorite! The grapes orange & pineapple are perfect together! This was so delicious & I highly recommend!
What a nice drink to end the challenge on. It too was very well balanced with the citrus showing through. I enjoyed all ten, but my favorite was day-2 which for myself, I renamed tutti frutti (sorry) but it did make me smile. Thanks again . . .
