This pineapple peach green smoothie is packed with good-for-you ingredients and good-for-your-taste-buds flavor. Frozen pineapple and peaches make it sweet while spinach and protein make it extra healthy!
Is it too soon to be thinking about swimsuit season? We've had such crazy weather this winter and I'm more than ready for springtime because I know summertime will quickly follow. I've done more than my fair share of unhealthy snacking this winter and it's time to bring things back into balance.
The great thing about green smoothies is they're not only good for your waistline but also good for your immune system. There are still some nasty bugs floating around out there and we could all use a boost to our immunity.
This pineapple peach green smoothie is a super delicious way to fortify your body's flu-fighting power in addition to giving you a bit of extra fiber and protein to curb those snack cravings.
I'm a huge fan of pineapple in smoothies like this pineapple coconut protein smoothie and this pineapple coconut mango smoothie.
I'm also a huge fan of throwing in protein powder whenever possible, which is pretty much always if you have both chocolate protein powder and vanilla protein powder from Purely Inspired. (It's one of the best organic, vegan-friendly, non-GMO, plant-based protein powders out there.)
I added a bit of honey and vanilla extract to my pineapple peach green smoothie because I have a pretty impressive sweet tooth, but feel free to leave those out. The smoothie is still super tasty!
Also, you could totally substitute coconut milk for the almond milk to give it a more tropical flavor. I'm totally going to try that next time I make a green smoothie!

Ohhh I'm all for the pineapple and peach flavors. I could go for one of these right now (even though it's rainy and cold) because I want those warm weather flavors all up in my face right now :) Pinning!

Pineapple and peach are so dang good together! Maybe follow the cold smoothie with a hot cocoa chaser? ;)

Oooooh this sounds so good! It’s never too early to think about swimsuit season if you ask me, but I don’t usually follow my own advice (this year is no exception!). I need some good smoothie recipes to help me along. Will try this one for sure!
Emily Hill
I hope you like it! And I'm still eating like it's going to be winter for 3 more months. I get it!

I don't think I have ever seen a photo of a smoothie that's made me drool a little bit...until now! That first picture you shared is amazing and I totally need to try this smoothie asap thanks x
Emily Hill
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you do try this smoothie. It's so yummy!

Pineapple is great for green smoothies because it masks the taste of greens. And it's such a great idea to add peaches. I've never tried adding peaches to smoothies. I will definitely try it next time I make one.
Emily Hill
I love how pineapple takes away a lot of the spinach taste in green smoothies. Delish!
Neha
The smoothies looks so refreshing and yum! I am totally a sucker for everything that is healthy and tastes good. This one here fits the bill!
Emily Hill
Me too! I love when something can taste good AND be good for you!
