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.

Good. I’d rather use a whole orange.
Such a pleasure to participate in this challenge. Thanks so much. Enjoy being a Rawstar. Pineapple Orange was delightful Sunday treat.
I enjoyed this one, but just not a fan of grapes in a smoothie.
Anything with orange is my favorite. I leave the peel on!
I made it with kale, but I think it would be a 5 with spinach. I also added flax seeds.
Substitution Notice: I used one teeny tiny clementine and papaya in lieu of orange. Surprisingly. I liked this one a lot better than I thought I would. In the past, when I used grapes, I could not taste the grape, and while it was subtle it was there this time. Perhaps because I did not overpower it with orange (and usually when I use oranges I add some zest, which really makes the orange stand out). No one fruit stood out and I think that is why I liked it.
Very sweet & refreshing – all my favorite ingredients here!
Had to sub cherries for grapes, but it was delicious. Just a bit on the sweet side. I liked it even more after I added an anti-inflammatory smoothie boost cube.
This is hands down my favorite one! I love the citrus and pineapple combination. Though, in my guide it’s called pineapple orange.
Citrus is so refreshing! I like someone’s comment calling this smoothie “sunshine in a glass.” I didn’t have grapes. Added cucumber, pumpkin cubes and chia seeds.
Delicious!! I was out of orange and replaced it with mango. The tangy sweetness made this a favorite of mine.
Didn’t have grapes, so used peaches instead. It’s ok, not my favorite, but I’ll make it again when I have grapes!
This smoothie definitely needed something sweet to balance the sour taste. Other than that the flavor was good.
Very fresh
Great taste! Refreshing.
Great flavor and texture. Used kale and added chia seeds
I’m so sorry mine is posting twice, but it keeps saying I already posted what I typed. When I retype it ..it posts both. ♀️
I added vanilla bone broth protein shake and avocado to mine. This is my favorite.
This one is my favorite. I added my vanilla bone broth protein powder and avocado. Yummy!
Very tasty with bright flavors – sunshine in a glass!
