Take your smoothie to the next level with this peach probiotic smoothie recipe. Mix with your fav kombucha to make your gut happy and healthy.
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! If 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
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.)
More Flavor Suggestions
A recipe like this can go so many different ways and be amazing. As a result, here are a few other recipes I’ve played with and enjoyed:
- Ginger kombucha + pineapple
- Watermelon kombucha + strawberries
- Passion Fruit kombucha + peaches
Probiotic Smoothie FAQs
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
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 8 oz kombucha
- 1 ½ cups peach frozen
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- homemade protein powder 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.
Since I LOVE kombucha.. this is one of my favs of the smoothie challenge!
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?
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.
Mine was sour but now I know why, I added 1/2 peeled whole lime in smoothie, no kombucha, coconut water, no coconut sugar
Unfortunately I didn’t like this one at all.
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.
I used the ginger Kombucha very nice my husband says this one is his new favorite.
⭐️ ⭐️ 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!!!
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.
This one was ok I don’t really like kombucha but made it work
Tasty with a kombucha sprintzer.
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..
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!
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
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
The flavors are DELICIOUS! I don’t like Kombucha by itself but it was tasty in this smoothie!!
Have to say, you saved the best for last. This really tasted out of this world
