Why You’ll Love It
- This smoothie hits that sweet spot between fresh and filling. Coconut water keeps it light and hydrating, while frozen mango and banana give it natural sweetness and a creamy texture. The spinach blends right in, adding nutrients without changing the flavor.
- If you’re still learning how to make a smoothie, this recipe is simple, forgiving, and great for building confidence.
- Spinach is one of my favorite leafy green vegetables for smoothies because it has a mild flavor and blends smoothly. Pairing it with citrus fruits like orange helps brighten the flavor and makes the greens virtually undetectable.

Mango Orange Green Smoothie
Jen HansardVideo
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ orange peeled
- ½ cup mango frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a blender. Add the spinach and orange and blend until smooth.
- Add the mango, banana and protein powder, if using. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it’s too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Greens Swap: Baby kale, romaine or any other mild leafy green can replace the spinach.
- Liquid Swaps: Plain water works in place of the coconut water. For a creamier smoothie, use unsweetened almond milk.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of homemade protein powder to make it more filling. Add a splash more liquid if it gets too thick.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

Best recipe. Love it
I can’t wait to try all of these! I also add ginger to my smoothies that have lighter colored fruit like pineapple peaches and mangoes. I use a LOT of blueberries! Did you know you can even freeze your spinach? Just freeze it in the container it comes in. I get the big plastic tubs. I like to enhance my smoothie with chia and goji berries. Super healthy
Kids love this one! Great way to get some greens into them! Not complicated with too many fancy ingredients, quick and simple.
Not a fan of coconut water. Good taste, but next time I’ll either use almond milk or water
Coconut water does have a diff taste. Feel free to swap out for another unsweetened liquid of your choice.
