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.
Loved loved loved this one! Can’t wait to make it again.
This wasn’t a horrible smoothie but not really my favorite either. I used red seedless grapes instead of green grapes because that is what we had on hand so that may have changed the taste a bit. I also added some flax seed to it to boost it up the fiber.
Loved how yummy this one is!!! I felt like I was drinking juice! I added some chia seeds! I’m still trying to like coconut water so I just swapped for water instead. Maybe someday I’ll get there!
love peach!
Loved this one! The peaches I used were frozen. It was sweet enough and was drank down quickly.
Now this smoothie was so good I drank it too fast! I want more!!
I love peaches. I swapped out blueberries for the grapes and added some Mint today. This is a keeper.
Hadn’t thought of freezing grapes before. Made a delightful smoothie.
Definitely peachy, grapes bring out that flavor, but it is just not my taste preference
Good morning everyone. As I sit here this morning drinking my Peach Dream smoothie with two Turmeric Anti Inflammation booster cubes, I have to say, this so far is my favorite. I did however need to use about 1 1/2 cups coconut water to make it liquid enough to drink. I also have to slow down drinking it as I am getting brain freeze from it. Love this smoothie!!
It’s pretty good, I had to add half a banana to make a little sweeter and smoother.
Peach Dream Smoothie is really tasty. Grapes and peaches are a great combo. Coconut water for extra hydration.
I found this one really thin. It was super yummy, but not the thick creamy smoothie I have come to expect from the first few days of the challenge. It is more like juicing.
I used green grapes, and it is nice and sweet.
Another 5 star in my book. Not as sweet as other smoothies but peachy and perfect. Day 7 smoothie done!
Simple and tasty! Not sure my kids will like it much but I do! No swaps here!
5+ Stars! Delicious & refreshing! Saved some to bring to work 🙂
I “boosted” mine with Cilantro… yummy combo for sure!
Thank you for this recipe!
This was good going in, but had an aftertaste that I did not care for. I added ginger which I couldn’t taste and some berry flavored cbd oil which actually helped with the taste. I think it is the coconut water that isn’t working for me.
Refreshing and not overly sweet.
Dark green in color and easy on the palate.
I had to swap the peaches for mangos (because peaches are not available fresh or frozen where I live) and it was ok for me, but not a highlight. I usually love grapes, but this smoothie didn’t work for me.
Hi there, after reading this awesome paragraph i am too
cheerful to share my experience here with colleagues.
