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 Ingredients
- Spinach: Fresh or frozen both work well
- Coconut water: Adds hydration and subtle sweetness
- Orange: Peel first to avoid bitterness
- Frozen mango: Key for thickness and tropical flavor (check out how to cut mango for prep tips)
- Banana: Adds creaminess and balance
Recipe Tips
- If you ever find yourself with extra spinach, learning how to freeze spinach can save money and reduce food waste—plus frozen spinach blends beautifully.
- If your smoothie feels too thin, here are easy ways to make a smoothie thicker.
- This smoothie is perfect for advance prep. Turn it into freezer packs by portioning the fruit and spinach ahead of time. When you’re ready, dump everything into the blender, add liquid, and blend. I share more tips in my guide to frozen meal prep smoothie packs.
- A good blender makes all the difference when blending leafy greens and frozen fruit. If you’re shopping around or upgrading, check out my recommendations for blenders for smoothies to find one that fits your needs and budget.

Hey Bonnie,
That sounds like a delicious addition to this recipe!
This ones a winner. Loved it. Adding it to my favorites # Green smoothie # 30 day Chellenge!
Hey Fosta,
SO happy that you loved this recipe!!
I loved this smoothie! Forgot coconut water at the store, so I used my filtered water. Still delicious! I will try again when I make it back to the store to get coconut water.
I learned today I’m not a fan of coconut water. But other than that, loved the smoothie.
Loved the mango smoothie week 2 begins.
This is my favourite so far, didn’t have any coconut water so used plain old H2O. The ingredients blended easily and gave it a smooth consistency. It tasted great. Really enjoyed it was yummy
Even though this isn’t one that I can have everyday due to it being so sweet, it is delicious! It’s really yummy with avocado added as well.
Love this smoothie
I loved this recipe- I will be honest I left out the banana because i can’t stand them, however the smoothie tasted amazing without it anyway- I tasted a lot more of the orange than i did the mango which I also love but delicious either way. I am so happy I decided to jump onboard!
Love this smoothie. Just the right amount of sweetness. And I love that this one calls for coconut water!
Loved this one. I used almond milk instead of coconut water and it was super yummy!!
THIS SMOOTHIE IS AMAZING. I LOVE MANGO. I HAVEN’T HAD A SMOOTHIE YET OUT OF THIS CHALLENGE THAT I HAVENT LIKED
I blended cauliflower in place of banana and it was so yummy. I can only imagine how yum with the banana! Win in my book
Loved the different taste that the coconut water gave…. definitely keen to use more of it
Mango is my favourite fruit and usually use it with banana for smoothies. I usually add a bit of low fat Greek yoghurt too. But I was reading the tips for smoothies as a meal replacement and noted the combination of ingredients for protein and healthy fats replacement, and there is no sign of yoghurt. Is there a reason for this?
Just love it
This was a winner. I doubled the recipe for my husband and myself. We both enjoyed it.
Love mango juice, so this will be a good one.
Love mango juice so this will be a good one.
Mango, banana and spinach are my to-go combo in my daily green smoothies – adding orange changes the flavor a bit but not too much, thank you for sharing!!!
