My Peach Probiotic Smoothie is made with three very simple ingredients and served icy cold in a fun coconut sugar-rimmed glass. Blend up a pitcher of this mocktail to serve at a party or sip it on the patio on a hot summer day! Of you love peaches, then you can't go wrong either way.
What's in this Probiotic Smoothie?
Fasten your seatbelts! You're not gonna believe this...there are only 3 ingredients in this smoothie! It doesn't get any easier than that, right? Read on to see why I love each of the ingredients in this simplistic summer peach probiotic smoothie so very much.
Spinach adds fiber and phytonutrients
Spinach is so versatile when it comes to neutral flavors in smoothies. That's why we've included it here. Anytime you can add a little extra boost of vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other nutrients into your day is plus.
Spinach is chock full of iron, vitamins A, C, and K, and loads of dietary fiber to keep your tummy happy. I love to blend mid-morning, since I'm opting for healthy coffee first thing. Or sometimes I'll rawk this probiotic smoothie as an afternoon snack. Honestly, any time of day is great for this chilled summertime treat.
Probiotics help the gut
This Probiotic Smoothie is a little different than my typical green smoothie recipes— thanks to the kombucha. I use kombucha here for a very important reason. Kombucha is rich in enzymes and probiotics due to the natural fermentation process. It works much in the same way you may already know yogurt does for your digestion.
Keeping our digestive tract in tip-top shape is key to overall good health. Kombucha is made from fermented black, green, or white tea that is sweetened with sugar which feeds the culture, known as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). I like to make my own kombucha (it's really easy), but I also like to buy new flavors at the store too.
My favorite store-bought brands of kombucha are:
- Health-Ade: Passion Fruit-Tangerine
- GTS Living Food: Gingerade
- Suja: Peach Kombucha
- GTS Living Foods: Watermelon Wonder
Peaches add a creamy sweetness to this probiotic smoothie
Last up on the ingredient list for this Probiotic Smoothie? Peaches of course! When it comes to fruits for blending, I. love. peaches! Like a lot. They are summer's best fruit, in my not-so-humble opinion. Nothing beats a good peach. Plus, they are lower on the GI scale, which also helps your gut. (High sugar, refined foods are hard on your gut.)
Common questions I get about probiotic smoothie
The answer to that is a big kale yeah! Probiotics contain all kinds of health benefits because of their pro-gut bacteria. Balancing the good and bad bacteria levels in your gut helps to strengthen your immune system, improves digestion and can even lead to weight loss.
For sure! Probiotics can be found in all kinds of yummy fermented foods and drinks like yogurt, kimchi, kefir and kombucha. If you try one and aren't a fan, switch it up to find just the right fermented friend for you. Your tummy will thank you.
Craving too much sugar, constipation, overuse of antibiotics and a slowing metabolism are all signs that a probiotic would be a good idea for you. Adding kombucha to a smoothie, eating unsweetened yogurt or even learning to love sauerkraut are all ways to introduce healthy bacteria back into your gut and bring balance back to your body.

Peach Probiotic Smoothie
Rate this Recipe Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 8 oz kombucha
- 1 ½ cups peaches (frozen )
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Protein Smoothie Boost (optional)
Instructions
- Blend spinach and kombucha together until no more leafy chunks.
- Add in the frozen peaches and blend again until creamy.
- Squeeze lime juice and coconut sugar onto small shallow tray/bowl.
- Dip rim of cup into lime juice and then into sugar to coat the edge of the glass.
- Fill glass with probiotic smoothie and enjoy!
Notes
- Kombucha is a naturally fermented beverage, and it does contain a very small percentage of alcohol, about that of a non-alcoholic beer, or even less. If that is something you avoid for whatever reason, totally swap it out for coconut water and a splash of sparkling water so your Probiotic Smoothie still has some fizz.
- Feel free to swap out the peaches for another fruit such as frozen pineapple, mango, or strawberries. Switch things up by using another flavor of kombucha. Get creative!
- You can also blend the lime right into the smoothie and use water to line the glass.
- Probiotics can be added to the smoothie as well in powder form.
- Nutrition is calculated without the kombucha— since it depends on the brand you use.

Megan
What a yummy smoothie... the coconut sugar rim was fun!
Kat
I used a ginger kombucha for this and it was amazing! Thanks for the unique recipe!
Kim
You had me at kombucha! Soooo good!
Simple Green Smoothies
Here's to happy tummies with this smoothie!
Dawn
Tried it again today! Just used the lime to line the glass and it was delicious!
Jade Hunter
I was recently informed I should avoid or have only 1 cup per day or phosphorus & potassium rich greens like kale & spinach(major kidney issues cause by two auto immune diseases)
What are some other good leafy greens not loaded with phosphorous and potassium I can use as substitutes?
Erin
Made this with nectarines instead of peaches, as that's what we had on hand. Delicious! Used ginger kombucha because it's yummy, and this was a lot of fun.
Emily
Yuck! We hated this one. Sour and bitter with hardly any sweetness.
Maureen
This was really really yummy, even without the coconut sugar rim, just way too many carbs. I was buzzing. I am sensitive to carbs so I need to find a way to bring them down in this one. Otherwise it's a great smoothie.
Jacqueline
We love Kombucha here so this was an easy one to make. Peaches and lime was a nice combo. I do feel like this was a bit high in sugar content. But tasty.
Maureen Cioni
This was really really yummy, even without the coconut sugar rim, just way too many carbs. I was buzzing. I am sensitive to carbs so I need to find a way to bring them down in this one. Otherwise it's a great smoothie.
Grace
I really enjoyed this yummy flavour combination! I used a cup of Gingerade kombucha (which added a nice zing!), 1/2 peeled small lime, 1/2 cup fresh nectarine, 1 cup frozen peaches, and a block of frozen spinach. I always add a bit of water to clean out my blender container and thin out the smoothie consistency. I drank half as described, and then added hemp protein powder to the other half, which was not as good. The protein powder I have definitely changes the flavour and is a bit gritty. I wonder how this would be with chia & flax seeds and hemp hearts, or the SGS protein powder. Fun end to wonderful 10-day challenge - thanks SGS team!
Susan Callahan
I used ginger kombucha and omitted the coconut sugar rim. I really liked this recipe. Definitely a make again. and will be trying new combinations. I'm hooked!
Mickey Cunningham
This was not as bad as I thought it would be. I've never had Kombucha. The coconut sugar on the rim helped with the taste. The recipe in the Challenge pdf did not state to juice the lime, so I added 1/2 lime without the peel.
Jemia
I had to use a substitute for kombucha so I used water and a little leftover coconut water. Peaches and limes are 2 fruits that I really like so that was good for the taste. I could've made the smoothie a little sweeter. I will definitely try this again and make some adjustments.
Lisa Bixby
I blended the entire lime into the smoothie...peel and all. Smoothie was very tangy, but refreshing. I used ginger kombucha and frozen peaches. Will try other combinations as this would be a great mocktail! Would not suggest this for a morning smoothie though--a bit too tart for first thing! It was fun to serve with the sugar rim in fancy glasses!
Kimberly Nelson
Great tasting!! This is in my top four.
Ellen
Great taste!
Lorna Koppel
This is another great recipe to add to my must make again list. For the 10 day smoothie challenge this is a tie for the #1 slot. Your choice of flavors for the kombucha can change up the flavors. I have a case of Ginger-lemonade Kombucha from Costco and it paired extremely well with the fruits and lime. Yum, yum, more please!
Sharon
This smoothie introduced me to kombucha. I used organic kiwi strawberry kombucha with a kale and spinach combo. I also used turbinado cane sugar instead.. It was good ! I will try this again.
Gina
Definitely not my favorite out of the 10 day challenge. I really think this would be better with the kombucha substituted for something else. The recipe also did not specify what flavor of kombucha in the challenge guidebook, so I chose a pineapple peach figuring it is close to the recipe. FYI- if you have a blender that seals while it blends, it will go everywhere once you open it because of the carbonated kombucha.
Michele
I wasn't able to get kombucha, so I used coconut milk for the liquid. It was cool and refreshing.
Lori Toothacre
I made this smoothie with a couple of tweaks...I didn't have Kombucha so I used Almond Milk & I also added plant based protein powder & I thought it needed a little more something, so I added a couple of ice cubes of Pomegranate juice (from my pomegranate tree!). Delicious!
Nat
Subbed coconut water for kombucha
Kate
I really liked this one. I’ve never had kombucha before.
Ana Siguenza
Refreshing summer flavors. Delicious. I did not add coconut sugar since I don't have any.
Alyssa Foote
I would have never thought to blend with kombucha. I used a lemon ginger flavour and made this as a smoothie bowl with mostly frozen peaches but some frozen mango and kale instead of spinach. Also added oats, matcha, flax seeds, and chia seeds. Topped with coconut sugar, shredded coconut, hemp hearts, and granola. Made a very tasty breakfast!
DeeDee
A bit on the tangy side, kombucha flavor is not hidden and still stands out, but what a treat to drink with the coconut sugared rimmed glass!
Dan Paris
Was looking forward to this smoothie all week. It did not disappoint.
Dawn
This Peach Probiotic Smoothie was interesting. I've never had kombucha before. I used sparkling ginger. The juice of the 1/2 lime seemed to overpower the peach. It was good. I'll modify to taste when I make it the next time.
Monika
Not my most favorite but still really good. I had to use mango instead of peaches.
Eva McGuire
This was actually better than I thought it would be. You could really taste the peaches and the fizz from the kombacha was not off putting
Raychel
I used half fresh peach and half frozen for more peach flavor and blended the lime juice into the smoothie. It's tart and refreshing 🙂 and different than most of the other smoothies we blend. It would definitely be fun to experiment with kombucha flavors in this, too. I used homemade and I can't remember which flavor was in the bottle I grabbed. It may have been watermelon lime!
Karen Guzowski
Very good. I used a mint lemonade Kombacha, and it mixed very well with the peaches.
April R Eckert
This was zesty and a probiotic powerhouse! Yum!
JP
This was different! Enjoyable. Can't wait to make it with different flavors of kombucha!
Erica
The kombucha adds a nice twist to this smoothie however the lime made it a little tart and was the main flavor I tasted. Not my favorite but was ok.
Amanda
Yummy kombucha in and smoothie yes please!! Everyone in my household loves kombucha so adding it to my smoothie is not strange. Next time I would like to experiment with pineapple peach.
Gloria
I never thought of mixing kombucha & smoothies. It was really good! Love it
Ogechi Nwaokelemeh
Since I LOVE kombucha.. this is one of my favs of the smoothie challenge!
Aida
This one was really good. Though I made it with coconut water as I didn’t have the Kombucha readily available.
I’ve never had Kombucha, though I’ve seen it in the natural food store. Frankly didn’t know what it was until I read your post.
Wondering if you could share recipe/how to make Kombucha?
Simple Green Smoothies
So excited that you're ready to rawk new things Aida! We do have a recipe for Kombucha! However, it's available as exclusive content for our Rawk the Year members. We'd love for you to give Rawk the Year a try free for 14 days here.
Cristina
Mine was sour but now I know why, I added 1/2 peeled whole lime in smoothie, no kombucha, coconut water, no coconut sugar
Holly
Unfortunately I didn't like this one at all.
Jessica
I love kombucha so I thought I'd really like this smoothie but a bubbly green smoothie just felt a bit strange, texture-wise, to me. The flavor was very good, though. I used Health-Ade Maca-Berry and fresh peaches. I'd really like to find the Jalapeño-Kiwi-Cucumber flavor. I think that would be a great compliment to the peaches. And I think frozen peaches might make a big difference, so I'll try those next time, as well.
Nora Long
I used the ginger Kombucha very nice my husband says this one is his new favorite.
Cindy Savage
⭐️ ⭐️ Sorry, I did not care for this smoothie. It may have been due to blender error... I chose a pear lime kombucha then with the added 1/2 fresh squeezed lime... well it was too much lime! And I love lime! So I will play with this recipe as I love the idea of adding kombucha to my smoothie! Rawk on... Smoothie on... Looking forward to the next Smoothie challenge!!!
Dawn
Day 10 Peach Probiotic wasn't my favorite. Probably since I had to substitute kombucha for strawberry kefir. With frozen peaches it wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. I will try again maybe adding a half of a fresh peach.
Daniella brissett
This one was ok I don’t really like kombucha but made it work
Tam Tam
Tasty with a kombucha sprintzer.
Youlanda Jennings
Peach Probiotic Smoothie was great, I didn’t have coconut sugar so I put Cinnamon on the glass. I also added chia seeds and collagen with a pinch of ginger I’m going to continue on with daily smoothies..
Andre L
Day 10 of Smoothie Challenge. I used guava mango flavored kombucha. This was creamy and refreshing! Took it on my hike today and it hit the spot. Will definitely add this one to my recipedex!
Meagan
This was really good but I was hoping more of the kombucha taste came through. I’ll try with a different flavor & see if that helps
Christina G
Peach probiotic smoothie by far my favorite out of the 10 day challenge! I was a little scared to try kombucha since I’ve never tried but got a flavor I enjoy ginger and lemon it was very delicious
Bonnie Primm
The flavors are DELICIOUS! I don’t like Kombucha by itself but it was tasty in this smoothie!!
Sophia Allison
Have to say, you saved the best for last. This really tasted out of this world
Jennetta Thomas
I loved this!! I used ginger kombucha and added mint. Delicious!! Next time I’m going to use ginger cayenne kombucha and pineapple.
Jackie Fehr
The smoothie had the kombucha taste and I was surprised. I actually loved it.
Deanna Brandau
I ran out of peaches so used pineapple and frozen mango and used water instead of kumbucha. It was a bit weird with the lime so I added banana and it was sooo good. These are so easy to tweak and make them to your taste.
Kimberly S Robinson
I think I've found a new favorite in this Peach Probiotic Green Smoothie. The flavor popped, which is what I look for in a green smoothie. The ginger kombucha added just that hint of zing, and the peaches were sweet. I never thought to use kombucha before, but I'll have to keep experimenting in the future. Disclosure: I used fresh peaches and frozen kale cubes (I ran out of spinach, but had plenty of kale), and I used the 1/2 lime to wet the rim of the glass before mixing it into the smoothie. (I dipped the glass in the coconut sugar after liming the rim.)
Sara
This is so yummy! I used fresh peaches instead of frozen peaches and it was so sweet and fresh! The hint of lime gets me every time too! SOO GOOD! Loved the addition of kombucha to this smoothie. I have never added kombucha to a smoothie before and I'm for sure going to do it again!! Loved the zing!!! Give this a try for sure!
Pam Izzo
Loved this smoothie. Just became one of my favorite smoothies. I have never used kombucha in a smoothie before and wasn’t sure about it. Now I am sure. Great! I used pink lady apple flavor. It gave the smoothie a crisp flavor. Just loved it.
Holly P.
So so so so GOOOOOD! I loved that hint of lime. I left off the coconut sugar because I was taking it to go in the car, but I imagine it would be amazing...and will definitely try it the next time I make it. The Kombucha I used was Strawberry Lemonade flavored.... I was scared because it smelled like vinegar and I don't care for vinegar...but it didn't taste like it at all. I don't like Kombucha on its own....but can DEFINITELY drink it in a smoothie - BRILLIANT idea!
Laura Peters
This was a very enjoyable smoothie. I do love kombucha and this blended so lovely with my frozen peaches that it was like an ice cream. Perfection on a hot day.
Karina
Very good.
Taylor Gonzalez
I would have never thought to put kombucha in my smoothie, this was very different and added a tart tangy flavor to the green smoothie. The Kombucha I used was Guava so I feel like it went well with the peach flavor of this smoothie. I am so proud of myself for finishing the 10-day challenge and I am feeling great! And plan to continue to try and have a green smoothie every day it was quite easy for me to substitute my smoothie for my breakfast meal of the day. Thanks so much! I love all the recipes!
SGS Rawkstar Jess
We're proud of you too, Taylor! Way to rawk the challenge! 🙂
Andrea
I have tried Kombucha a few times and don’t really like it but I thought I would give it another shot. It was okay, not as bad as it is by itself. Not sure I would have it again though. May swap out the Kombucha in the future. The rest was delicious though!
Jessie
Can I give this one 10 stars? This smoothie tasted like I was drinking a fancy adult beverage on a sunny beach. SO GOOD! I love kombucha, though, and I know not everyone likes the taste of it. But with the addition of the peaches and lime juice, I didn't really taste the kombucha - it just added a nice carbonated zip to the smoothie. I'm going to experiment with different kombucha flavors and fruits in the near future.
Elle Wood
I can't have kombucha for medical reasons and used coconut water instead. I love the frozen peaches with lime. It's a nice combo.
Jennifer A.
I like zip that the carbonation from Kombucha adds. I did not add any lime to the smoothie and since I had to take this one on the go, I skipped the sugar rim. I have done that before though, and like it...looks fancy and adds an extra touch of sweet! I also added a couple coconut milk smoothie cubes this time because I’m addicted.
Samantha
I substituted water for kombucha, and added a bit of ginger. Also forgot to juice the lime and put just half of it in. Not an overwhelming peach flavour, but that could be because of my frozen peaches or my additions/mistakes.
Dora Suarez
I was terrified as I've never had kombucha before. I used the GTS gingerade and love it, great taste and very refreshing, a keeper no doubt. By the way, I love rimming the glass with the coconut sugar, it adds a a bit of sophistication and whimsy. P.S. I rimmed mine with a blend of coconut sugar and Pink Himalayan salt, delish.
SGS Rawkstar Jess
I bet the sweet/salty combo of sugar and salt was really good!
Anita
Jury still out on this one.
Trudy Richardson
I liked the Peach Probiotic and not as much as some of my other favorites. The kombucha gives it an attention getting taste, but still good. I have drank it down quickly so I must have liked it. I followed the recipe exactly.
Julie Quinn
Don't feel right leaving a review on this one because I hardly followed this recipe. Didn't have kombucha so used water. My peaches were not very viable, so had to add in apricots to make up the difference and that wasn't enough fruit so I added 1/2 a banana. So this was good, but not this recipe. LOL
Sarah
Wow I never thought of mixing kombucha & smoothies. It was really good!
Hilde Johansen
Bit bland. Dont think my peaches where ripe enough but added some grapefruit juice and that made it superyummy! Didnt have kombucha (couldn't find it) so used tea and some apple cider vinegar
Kathy Overstreet
Interesting smoothie - very tropical!
Adele Restrepo
Do yourself a favor and make this smoothie! I’ve never thought of adding kombucha to a smoothie but it made it taste delicious. I used a ginger lemon flavor. This smoothie is a bit tart and not too sweet, but it sure doesn’t taste like spinach. Loved it!
Betsy Spinosa
I usually don’t like kombucha, but this was surprisingly good!!! Thank you so much for all the new ideas to make my smoothies tasty and rich in flavor!!!
Deborah
I made this with a locally produced Peach Mango Kombucha. I added lime juice and zest, but not the whole lime as I have found lime can be overpowering. Fresh peaches and YUM! I normally do not like peach smoothies, but this has me rethinking that thought.
Cristina Ribeiro
Oops! Made a mistake, added whole 1/2 lime in smoothie, wet glass with water. I changed the recipe a little bit, altered the taste. I used lemon ginger tea with a dash of cayenne pepper, added too much cayenne pepper, should have used coconut water, instead of kombucha. I added 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and used a baby kale, spinach, Swiss chard mix
Eri
I Love this smoothie!! It was my first time putting Kombucha in my smoothie. (I used raspberry lemonade flavor one) To be honest, I wasn’t sure about Kombucha in a green smoothie, but surprisingly, I enjoyed it very much!
Mary B
Never thought to use kombucha in smoothie before. It was great. Took my smoothie to go so didn't get to try the coconut sugar on the rim. Next time. Swapped Mango for the peaches.
April R Eckert
Have always been a Kombucha fan. Have never put it in a smoothie. Kind of an Ah Ha moment for me. Worked out great!
Laura
This was just alright. It was really tart, but that could’ve been because I used a 1/2 a lime, not just the juice; I guess that was a typo in the page I had, lol. Also, I used ginger kombucha, which was too much ginger, so I’ll try it with a different flavor next time.
Mary
Never had kombucha before but this got me to try it
SGS Rawkstar Amanda
Yay!!! Kombucha is soooo good for you! SO happy we convinced you to give it a try!
Billy
Thanks so much for sharing this mocktail! Love seeing the creative ways to use kombucha!
