Some days call for a smoothie that feels calm and comforting, not heavy or overly sweet. This mango smoothie recipe is what I blend when my body feels a little inflamed, digestion feels off, or I just want something gentle and nourishing.

Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients were chosen to keep this smoothie gentle, dairy-free, and easy on digestion. Each one plays a role in creating a blend that feels soothing, creamy, and naturally sweet—without overpowering your system.
- Frozen mango adds natural sweetness and a thick, creamy texture. Using it frozen means you don’t need ice, which keeps the flavor rich and smooth. If you’re using a fresh mango, check out my tips to help you easily cut a mango so you can freeze it.
- Cashew milk is mild and naturally creamy, making it a great non-dairy milk option that lets the fruit flavors shine.
- Coconut yogurt adds creaminess and healthy fats that help make this smoothie more satisfying. Choose unsweetened to keep added sugars low or make my cashew coconut yogurt.
- Ground turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, adds warmth and color. A small amount goes a long way and blends easily into this smoothie. You might also like my honey turmeric smoothie.
- Orange brightens the smoothie and pairs beautifully with mango and turmeric, adding vitamin C and a light citrus finish.

How to Make a Mango Smoothie
This is one of those low-effort, high-reward smoothies. Everything goes into the blender in minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you want something nourishing without thinking too hard.

- Add frozen mango, coconut yogurt, and turmeric.

Recipe Tips
A few small tweaks can make this smoothie work even better for your body. Use these tips to adjust the texture, flavor, or wellness benefits based on how you’re feeling that day.
- For better turmeric absorption: Add a pinch of black pepper if desired. You won’t taste it, but it helps your body absorb turmeric more effectively.
- For a lighter texture: Add a splash of water or more cashew milk.
- For a thicker smoothie: Use frozen orange segments instead of fresh.
- High-speed blender: Any blender can make a smoothie, yet my recommended blenders for smoothies make the even better in half the blending time.
Ingredient Variations
This recipe is meant to be flexible. Whether you want more protein, extra creaminess, or a boost of greens, these swaps help you make the smoothie fit your needs without losing its calming, anti-inflammatory feel.
- Boost the protein: Add a serving of collagen peptides or plant-based protein powder.
- Make it extra creamy: Add ¼ avocado for healthy fats without changing the flavor.
- Add greens: A handful of spinach blends in easily and won’t overpower the mango.
- Swap the milk: Almond milk or oat milk work well if cashew milk isn’t available.

Loved it!
It’s a favorite. So happy you liked it, Maryea.
I love smoothies with tumeric in it and this one is no exception. I used water instead of cashew milk and it was creamy enough. It is super refreshing. Next time I’ll try it with a little lime or lemon juice added
Yay, Silke. So happy you loved it. Let us know how you like it with the lemon juice.
This recipe is summertime perfection! Delish!
I love blending with mango, this recipe is perfect!
The color is appealing and this is very creamy. I used almond milk and Greek yogurt, also added a scoop of collagen peptides. I have rheumatoid arthritis and am trying to add anti-inflammatories to my diet. Love the turmeric in this one!
This is such a refreshing smoothie!
Why is it called Turmeric Mango Smoothie if there is no turmeric? Just wondering…
Hi Rachel! This one is our Healthy Mango Smoothie. If you’re looking to rawk some turmeric, check out our Honey Turmeric Smoothie. 🙂
Your Mango Smoothie recipe needs to be revised to reflect that the 1/2 navel Orange needs to be PEELED. Nowhere in the recipe does it say to peel the orange! This is very confusing since your photo shows the Orange unpeeled. This could lead to ruined Mango Smoothies!
Thanks for your tip Janice! 🙂
I had the same concern! The picture shows the Peel on the orange, but no mention of peeling the orange! Thank you for asking the question!
Hey Valerie – no worries! Def go ahead and peel that orange. We were just taking artistic license with our pics. 😉
This looks so great! How much turmeric do we use if we grate the root? Is it the same amount as the turmeric found in the spice aisle? Thanks!
This mango smoothing looks delish! I had a quick question…do you blend your oranges with the rind and all? I usually peel or cut the rind off and just use the pulp, but your pics show the whole kit and kaboodle in the blender so I just wanted to double check! Thank you for all of your terrific smoothie recipes! My daughters and I love them!
I also wondered this…???
It also shows the mango with peel on in the blender which is even weirder than showing the orange with the peel.
Oooh great question! So some of our photos show the whole or cut fruit with the peel or skin in tact. That is purely for artistic purposes. Def follow the direction given in recipes when it says to add ‘peeled’ fruit. Jen likes to peel most of the skin away on citrus fruits, yet leave some of the white ‘pith’ as that contains the most nutrients.
This tastes like and Orange Julep!! I added 2 tbsps. cashews and I cup cashew milk as I did not have the yogurt available. Smooth, tasty and another winner from SGS!! Rawk on!
So awesome Jennifer!
Do I blend the oranges with or without peel?
Hi Liz! Def blend without the peel, yet leave a bit of the white pith if possible. That’s where a lot of the nutrients come from. 🙂
In the picture, it shows the peels on the oranges. Were those removed prior to blending or did you leave them on?
I was wondering the same thing!
