- Coconut water– contains electrolytes, which aid in workout recovery.
Basically, this peach spinach smoothie is a powerhouse of wellness… 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. Looking for more peach smoothies? Check these incredible recipes out:
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 recipe 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.

Peach Spinach Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- 1 cup grapes frozen
- ½ cup peach frozen
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Blend spinach, grapes and coconut water until smooth.
- Add the remaining fruits and blend again.
Notes
- Freeze at least one of these fruits to make the smoothie cold.
- Other stone fruits can be used in place of the peaches, if needed. Grapes can be substituted with cubed melon. Plain water may be used in place of the coconut water, if needed.
- You can use either green or red grapes.
- Swap spinach for the leafy greens of your choice.
Take my feedback with a grain of salt as I had to substitute both fruits! I made this with dark cherries and mango instead. I liked it, but I liked it more after making it a meal replacement with a quarter of avocado and two tablespoons of hemp protein powder. I think it benefited from the thickening from those two. Even with the meal replacement additions it was a bit on the sweet side for me but still pleasant.
Love the peaches and grapes together.
I loved the peaches in this smoothie
One of my favorites, probably because of the peaches
Delicious! I love grapes in my smoothies.
This smoothie was delicious and so fresh tasting. I used regular water instead of coconut water because that’s my preference. And hey anti-aging? Bring it on!
I used frozen grapes, but then needed to add more coconut water since it was too thick. I think using a ripe, fresh peach made it taste much more flavorful though! (Other peach smoothies that I have used frozen peaches with have been bland. I taste the peach in this one!) I also added the SGS protein powder and it really is fantastic. Not gritty, no aftertaste. I’m really impressed.
I love the flavor, the grapes were tasty. I used frozen peaches from my own tree.
This smoothie was very liquidity but delicious none the less. I used red grapes since the green ones at my local marked did not look good. I’ll have to try it with green grapes once they get another shipment. I’m loving the variety of smoothies in this 10 day challenge. To this smoothie I added a full scoop of protein powder and MTC Oil to make it a meal replacement. So yummy
Pretty yummy!! I like how the grapes add a sweet kick to this one.
I usually make this with green grapes, but used red grapes in it this time. A bit sweeter, and still super delicious! Another winner for my toddler too.
I thought I rated this, but can’t remember, lol. This was pretty tasty, but I read the amount wrong and put in too much water, whoops, lol.
I subbed the grapes for organic blueberries since no one has organic grapes right now (and melon is not in season here).
This was a yummy smoothie. One that I liked very well.
Love the idea of using grapes! I used regular water instead and through in a banana too! Would have been even better if I had a fresh peach!
Doubled the recipe to share with hubby and added an orange, hemp seeds, and chia seeds. So good!
Oh no. Did not like this very much. There is something about grapes in smoothies. To me, they just don’t pack a punch or add anything special.
