    Get groovy with this Grape Smoothie!

    Frozen grapes in a smoothie are the most delicious start to a morning.

    Adding crisp, frozen green or red grapes to a smoothie instead of ice cubes makes for an incredibly smooth texture for a smoothie rich with nutrients.

    One of our favorites – we guarantee this grape smoothie is creamy, thick, and will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed!

    One of the best things about this smoothie recipe is that it’s not seasonally dependent.

    You can buy grapes all year round so this makes a perfect smoothie for any time of the year!

    Which grape variety is best for this smoothie recipe?

    Darker red grapes tend to have more antioxidants and vitamin C, while green grapes are more tart. The choice is up to you – all grapes are a great, healthy choice! This recipe calls for red grapes.

    What fruits pair best with grapes?

    The question is, what doesn’t go with grapes, really. One of the best pairings for a grape smoothie is banana. Many people love a grape-banana smoothie. We’ve also found strawberries and raspberries to taste delicious when paired with grapes.

    Do you need to buy organic grapes?

    Whenever possible, we recommend buying your produce from the organic section at your grocery store. We love shopping at Costco and Trader Joe’s for affordable options!

    Can I put greek yogurt in my smoothies?

    Greek yogurt is a fantastic source of healthy protein and we recommend it as a smoothie ingredient. Smoothie recipes are meant to be fun. Try it, and find your perfect blend!

    I love this smoothie but for the recipe I used a small banana so I tried half and it was better with the hole thing. But I would love more smoothies like this it was GREAT.
