This peach spinach smoothie screams summer and is the ultimate in refreshing green smoothies. It’s loaded up with heart-healthy dietary fiber and relies on refreshing fruits for its mildly sweet flavor. By the way, if you prefer a sweeter smoothie — feel free to add a banana, which is one of my favorite natural sweeteners that also adds more potassium and will make the smoothie creamy.

Peach Spinach Smoothie Ingredients
This is such a fun smoothie to make + sip! It’s the perfect post workout drink because it’s easy to make, with just 4 rawkstar ingredients:
- Spinach– one of my favorite superfood leafy green vegetables packed with iron.
- Grapes– loaded with vitamins C and K, as well as nutrients that help keep the heart healthy.
- Peaches– rich in antioxidants, which help fight chronic disease and cancer.
- Coconut water– contains electrolytes, which aid in workout recovery.
Basically, this peach spinach smoothie is a powerhouse of wellness and uses low sugar fruits… plus it tastes delicious.
Green vs red grapes
Is there really a difference in nutrition between green and red grapes? The easy answer is… not really. If there’s one variety you like best, then go for it. Yet the darker in color the grape is, the more antioxidants it contains. So if that’s why your popping grapes, then aim for the darker red varieties.
I think green grapes are more tart, and pair well with the sweet peaches + tangy coconut water in this smoothie, so I typically blend those.

To peel or not to peel peaches
Depending on the type of blender you have, you may want to peel your peaches. Yet if your blender can handle the skin, then I def recommend keeping it. Many of the nutrients from peaches are found in that fuzzy skin, so taking it off causes you to lose some value. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend investing in one of these high-powered blenders for smoothies.

Green Smoothie Ingredient Swaps
As with any green smoothie, I want you to get all the benefits you can. If that means swapping out an ingredient for one you can more easily find, ingest, or grow, then go for it! Spinach can be swapped out for Swiss chard or baby kale. Peaches can be swapped for almost any other stone fruit (apricots, nectarines, plums), or mango. Swap coconut water out for plain water, or even brewed tea. Obviously the flavor + consistency will change based on the swaps you make, so if the blend doesn’t feel right, don’t be afraid to add in extra fruit or liquid for the perfect drink.

Protein Boost
Want to turn this smoothie into a meal replacement? Adding 1 serving of my homemade protein powder will boost this smoothie by 10 grams of protein. This is the cleanest protein powder on the market, specifically designed for smoothies, so it works with any kind of smoothie you make! It also adds 4 grams of healthy fat as well as 7 grams of fiber, which helps your body turn that smoothie into clean energy.
Freezing Ingredients for Smoothies
Peaches are great smoothie ingredients, yet they have such a short growing season. Honestly, I buy them by the crate at Costco and Trader Joe’s, then slice them up and freeze. This way I can use them throughout the year, and I know they were super ripe + fresh when frozen. When freezing, I slice peaches into wedges, then lay them out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 1 hour, then toss the wedges into a freezer-safe container for storage.
Did you know grapes are also great frozen? My kids love to eat frozen grapes for snacks in the summer, yet freezing them also makes them the perfect ‘fruit cube’ for smoothies. Just lay grapes out on a tray lined with parchment, freeze for 1 hour, then store in a freezer safe container.
If using frozen grapes in this smoothie, make sure to up the liquid to 3/4 a cup instead of 1/2. This is because grapes act as a liquid and a fruit in smoothies, but not when frozen. To save time, you can make my frozen meal prep smoothie packs for easy blending on busy mornings.

Grapes add natural sweetness and hydration without overpowering the peaches. They keep the flavor light and refreshing, which makes this smoothie perfect for hot summer days.
If your blender can handle it, keep the skin on. Peach skins hold antioxidants and fiber, and they blend smoothly in a high-powered blender.
Yes. Red grapes have slightly more antioxidants, while green grapes are more tart. I usually choose green grapes here because they balance the sweet peaches and coconut water.
This blend combines electrolytes from coconut water with fiber-rich fruit for quick recovery. It hydrates, replenishes energy, and feels light instead of heavy.
Refreshing. The market didn’t offer an organic grape so I substituted organic blueberries. Nice texture, since fruits were frozen, quite chilly. Keeping this recipe handy for a hot summer’s day.
I loved this smoothie. This is one of my favorites so far. It was the right amount sweet and tart. I will be making this one again for sure.
ok, but nothing spectacular about this one. I had to use canned peaches , in juice (draining the juice of course) because my store had no frozen or fresh peaches available, and I didn’t have any left in the freezer from last years harvest. I added chia seeds of course, to increase protein and fiber.
I used 1/2 spinach and 1/2 kale. The smoothie was a bit bitter–perhaps because of the kale.
What I beautiful smoothie, so creamy soft green!! Yummy in the tummy too!!
This one turned out to be more like a juice for me. When I was blending and added my frozen grapes and peaches there wasn’t enough liquid to make anything happen so I added more coconut water. I like the flavor a LOT! Also, it took me 6 minutes from start to finish.
This is a first for me.: having grapes in my smoothie. Yum!
This is my least favorite so far. My grapes were frozen so i had to add extra coconut water to blend. There’s no peach flavor. I can taste the spinach, which i don’t mind so much, but it’s unlike the other smoothies in that regard. Just kind of blah.
Refreshing! I really enjoyed this one. I will use water next time as the coconut water made it a little too sweet for my liking.
Day 7’s Peach Dream Smoothie – I definitely tasted more of the spinach this time, which might have been because I put in extra spinach. Not really sure as I used a small mason jar of spinach from the freezer, which I had packed really full and wasn’t measuring at the time I froze it. I didn’t feel like I was drinking a glass of just leafy greens. This one had the consistency that I prefer in a smoothie. Tasted pretty good! I added protein powder again, and I’m liking how quickly I can get a healthy breakfast ready in the morning.
love the pace, grape combo taste. Went with the recipe as is using frozen peaches. So good, wouldn’t change a thing.
This was tasty — and quite sweet. I was generous with the amount of spinach, added plain water as I didn’t have coconut water, and added a tablespoon of Chia seeds after it was blended.
This was such a groovy 🙂 tasting smoothie. who would have thought peaches and grapes. Made me smile.
I did not have coconut water so I used regular water. I think the coconut water would have given this smoothie a bit more flavor. I used frozen purple grapes and peaches so I needed to add a bit more water. Overall it’s a good smoothie and will definitely make again with coconut water.
Spinach Peach Smoothie
This had a refreshing taste. Not bad. I posted pics of this yesterday on IG
This is seriously one of my favorite smoothies. I am not a fan of coconut water, but it works here. I definitely notice a difference using green grapes instead of purple too!
Tasted nice.
A fun adventure EVERY day!
I love the flavor of the coconut and peach, but not a fan of the grape texture. Still tasty.
I boosted this with some matcha powder and blended pumpkin seed milk instead of coconut water. It was so very tasty, I’d for sure blend this again
I used a different type of peach so I think that had something to do with the taste.
