Peach and grapes make a gentle pairing for spinach, with coconut water providing a light base. Both fruits are frozen, so the mixture can become thick without banana. It gives a different source of sweetness and body from many common green smoothies.

Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 0.5 cup coconut water
- 1 cup frozen seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup frozen peach slices
Directions
- Put the measured liquid in the blender with the prepared leafy greens. Secure the lid and process until the leaves are finely dispersed, stopping the machine before scraping down the sides if needed.
- Add the remaining edible ingredients, including the measured fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices listed for this recipe. Blend until evenly combined. Use the machine instructions to choose a suitable speed, and stop before checking texture or scraping the jug.
- Taste a small spoonful after blending. If the mixture is too thick to pour, add cold water one tablespoon at a time and blend briefly again. Divide the base batch into 1 serving and enjoy promptly.

Prepared ingredients are required; additional cooking, cooling, freezing, brewing, or soaking time is excluded from the active prep estimate. Serving volume and nutrition totals are not measured.

Tips and ingredient notes
Use seedless grapes and wash before freezing. Freeze individually instead of in a solid block. Process leaves with coconut water first, then add frozen fruit in manageable portions to help the machine work evenly.
Check fresh peaches for stones before measuring the flesh. Frozen slices offer convenience, but should be separated before blending. Skin may remain visible in the finished drink; that is different from finding hard pieces of fruit that still need processing.
Choose seedless grapes, wash them well, and remove stems before measuring. If freezing ahead, spread them separately so they do not form one solid block. Grape varieties differ in sweetness, so keep the remaining ingredients constant while comparing different batches.
