Why I Love This Probiotic Smoothie
Gut health plays a big role in how we feel day to day—from digestion and energy to mood and immunity. Probiotics help support a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut, and this is one of the best green smoothies to get them in.
Instead of relying on supplements, this recipe uses kombucha as a natural probiotic source and pairs it with fruit, leafy green vegetables, and optional plant-based protein for balance.

Ingredients You’ll Need
This smoothie comes together with just a handful of ingredients:
- Spinach: A gentle leafy green that blends easily and adds fiber and micronutrients.
- Kombucha: Provides probiotics and a light, refreshing tang.
- Frozen peaches: Naturally sweet, and a low-sugar fruit, it’s thick and creamy once blended.
- Collagen peptides: Helps turn this into a more filling snack or light meal. If you’re vegan, swap it for my homemade protein powder or leave out.
- For the rim: Dip the glass rim into lime juice and coat with coconut sugar to add a subtle caramel-like sweetness to the rim. Completely optional, but fun!

Leave a review for a chance to win signed copies of my cookbooks! Winners announced each season in my newsletter.Nope. Blending kombucha does not destroy its beneficial probiotics. As long as you’re using raw, unpasteurized kombucha and not heating it, those live cultures stay intact and active in your smoothie.
Only lightly. The frozen peaches naturally sweeten the smoothie and balance kombucha’s tang. If you’re new to kombucha, choose a mild flavor (like ginger or plain) and avoid strongly spiced varieties.
Yes. Collagen peptides don’t interfere with probiotics and blend in easily. They’re flavorless and dissolve smoothly, making them an easy add-in for extra protein and amino acids.
Not at all. The rim is optional and purely for fun. It adds a little sparkle and brightness, but the smoothie is just as nourishing and delicious without it.
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!
Subbed coconut water for kombucha
I really liked this one. I’ve never had kombucha before.
Refreshing summer flavors. Delicious. I did not add coconut sugar since I don’t have any.
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!
