Peach Spinach Smoothie Ingredients

This is such a fun smoothie to make + sip! It’s the perfect post workout drink because it’s easy to make, with just 4 rawkstar ingredients:

Basically, this peach spinach smoothie is a powerhouse of wellness… plus it tastes delicious.

ingredients for a peach spinach smoothie including green grapes, peaches, spinach and coconut water.

Green vs red grapes

Is there really a difference in nutrition between green and red grapes? The easy answer is… not really. If there’s one variety you like best, then go for it. Yet the darker in color the grape is, the more antioxidants it contains. So if that’s why your popping grapes, then aim for the darker red varieties.

I think green grapes are more tart, and pair well with the sweet peaches + tangy coconut water in this smoothie, so I typically blend those.

To peel or not to peel peaches

Depending on the type of blender you have, you may want to peel your peaches. Yet if your blender can handle the skin, then I def recommend keeping it. Many of the nutrients from peaches are found in that fuzzy skin, so taking it off causes you to lose some value. Looking for more peach smoothies? Check these incredible recipes out:

Green Smoothie Ingredient Swaps

As with any green smoothie, I want you to get all the benefits you can. If that means swapping out an ingredient for one you can more easily find, ingest, or grow, then go for it! Spinach can be swapped out for Swiss chard or baby kale. Peaches can be swapped for almost any other stone fruit (apricots, nectarines, plums), or mango. Swap coconut water out for plain water, or even brewed tea. Obviously the flavor + consistency will change based on the swaps you make, so if the blend doesn’t feel right, don’t be afraid to add in extra fruit or liquid for the perfect drink.

Protein Boost

Want to turn this smoothie into a meal replacement? Adding 1 serving of my protein powder recipe will boost this smoothie by 10 grams of protein. This is the cleanest protein powder on the market, specifically designed for smoothies, so it works with any kind of smoothie you make! It also adds 4 grams of healthy fat as well as 7 grams of fiber, which helps your body turn that smoothie into clean energy.

Freezing Ingredients for Smoothies

Peaches are great smoothie ingredients, yet they have such a short growing season. Honestly, I buy them by the crate at Costco and Trader Joe’s, then slice them up and freeze. This way I can use them throughout the year, and I know they were super ripe + fresh when frozen. When freezing, I slice peaches into wedges, then lay them out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 1 hour, then toss the wedges into a freezer-safe container for storage.

Did you know grapes are also great frozen? My kids love to eat frozen grapes for snacks in the summer, yet freezing them also makes them the perfect ‘fruit cube’ for smoothies. Just lay grapes out on a tray lined with parchment, freeze for 1 hour, then store in a freezer safe container.

If using frozen grapes in this smoothie, make sure to up the liquid to 3/4 a cup instead of 1/2. This is because grapes act as a liquid and a fruit in smoothies, but not when frozen.

  1. Maybe my grapes were a little mushy but today’s smoothie was sour. I wasn’t a fan.

  2. 5 stars
    I love smoothies with peaches! I’ve been blending my smoothies at night not sure that I like them that way but still very good.

  3. 4 stars
    Delicious! I would give the taste 5 stars, but the texture was a little weird. My grapes didn’t blend well. Next time I’ll probably freeze them first. So yummy!y favorite so far!

  4. 4 stars
    Nice! I found that straight out of the blender was nicer than the bit I left sitting for 10 mins or so. It was more mild and sweet at first and then slightly ‘wine’ tasting at the end. Delish otherwise!

  5. 4 stars
    Refreshing but I’m not a big fan of grapes in smoothies, that said mild taste but not a fave. What could we sub for the grapes?

  6. 4 stars

    I wouldn’t make it again. I’ve tried it before and didn’t care for it either. Something about the combination that just doesn’t work for me. Luckily there are so many other great recipes!

  8. I liked the flavor yet very sweet added flaxseed and topped with dried coconut . Four stars

  9. 3 stars
    Im not a huge fan of grapes so I did not love this one. It was really just too sweet for my palate.

  10. 3 stars
    Not my favourite. Not bad per say, but not one I’d make regularly. I think it’s too sweet for me and not enough bulk.
