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.)

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:

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
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!
Equipment
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.
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.
Yuck! We hated this one. Sour and bitter with hardly any sweetness.
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.
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Great tasting!! This is in my top four.
Great taste!
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!
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.
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.
I wasn’t able to get kombucha, so I used coconut milk for the liquid. It was cool and refreshing.
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!
