I have a confession, and it’s a little embarrassing: in all my years of blogging, I’ve never actually created and shared a simple spinach smoothie recipe. Which is kind of wild when you think about it, because this might be the most obvious green smoothies out there.
This spinach smoothie checks every box. First, it tastes amazing—I’m serious! The pineapple brings all that sweet, tropical flavor, and the spinach practically disappears. Second, the ingredients are about as affordable and simple as it gets. And third, it’s less sweet than the best green smoothie— which you’ve been asking for!

So today, we’re getting back to basics and embracing the reason this blog exists in the first place. No fancy add-ins, no hard-to-find ingredients, just a simple and tasty smoothie recipe that captures everything I love about blending greens.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- Frozen pineapple: The flavor deliverer of this smoothie, bringing sweet tropical flavor and natural sweetness. Allow to thaw slightly if you don’t have a high-speed blender for smoothies.
- Frozen peaches: Add a mellow, creamy texture that complements the pineapple, while creating an extra smooth and sweet blend.
- Spinach: This leafy green vegetable is my favorite way to add nutrients while letting the fruity flavors shine. I use organic baby spinach since it’s triple washed and the mildest flavor.
- Water: Technically an ingredient, yet in many ways not. This zero calorie, zero cost liquid is how I blend most of my smoothies. Use cold water to create a chilly smoothie or tap water to thaw the frozen fruits.

How to Make Spinach Smoothie
One quick blend is all that stands between you and a tasty pineapple spinach smoothie.
- Add the spinach into the blender.
- Add the frozen pineapple and peach chunks to the blender.
- Pour water and blend on high until everything is fully incorporated.
- Add your smoothie into a glass and enjoy when chilled.
Recipe Tips
- Boost it: Add a scoop of protein powder, collagen peptides or superfoods to balance out the macros.
- Let frozen fruit thaw slightly if needed: If your blender struggles with frozen ingredients, let the pineapple and peaches sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before blending.
- Prep smoothie packs ahead: Portion frozen pineapple, peaches, and spinach into frozen meal prep smoothie packs. So you can grab, blend, and enjoy a smoothie in minutes.
- Freeze spinach: If you have excess spinach, you can freeze it to use in smoothies later. This keep it from going bad (no one likes slimy spinach) and works great in smoothies.

Common Questions
This is where the pineapple and peaches really earn their spot. Their sweet, fruity flavors help mellow the spinach, so you get a delicious tropical smoothie without a strong green taste.
Yes, you can make it ahead and store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The pineapple spinach smoothie may separate as it sits, so give it a good shake or stir before drinking.
Yes, protein powder is an easy way to make this smoothie more filling. Homemade protein powder pairs especially well with the sweet pineapple and peach flavors.
Yes, canned pineapple can work in a pinch. Choose pineapple packed in juice rather than heavy syrup, drain it well, and add ice or frozen peaches to help maintain a thick texture.
Coconut water is a great choice if you want to lean into the tropical flavor. You can also use regular water or non-dairy milk.
