This mango orange smoothie swaps pineapple for an orange and plain water for coconut water. With another easy winner, it might be hard to choose the fav between these two smoothies…

Mango Orange Smoothie Nutrition
This smoothie is a tropical oasis of flavor + nutrition. It’s got over 100% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C, as well as a great boost of fiber. Make sure to leave as much of the white pithe of the orange as you can when peeling… that’s where the fiber and many nutrients are located in an orange.
Lower sugar options
If the natural fruit sugar in this smoothie is a little high for you, then I’ve got some great swap options. Swap out 1/2 banana for 1/4 avocado. Avocado helps keep the smoothie creamy + add in healthy fat, while lowering the sugar level.
Peaches are a great swap for the mango in this mango orange smoothie, since they have a lower glycemic index (sugar level). Green smoothies are easily customized to your liking, so don’t be afraid to make some swaps or test new ingredients to get the perfect combo for your tastebuds + nutritional needs.
Coconut Water is Nature’s Gatorade
If you need some extra electrolytes in your diet, then this mango orange smoothie is for you! Studies show that coconut water does a great job replacing electrolytes after a long workout. I often take coconut water with me, or add it to my post workout smoothie. I want to make sure I’m refueling my body the right way, especially after a long run.
If you want to use this mango orange smoothie as a post-workout drink, then don’t forget to boost it with my protein powder recipe. This plant-based, all organic powder will boost your smoothie by 10 grams of protein!
Liquid Swaps
If coconut water just isn’t your thing, or you don’t have any on hand, then no worries! Here’s what I recommend as a liquid base for this mango orange smoothie:
- Green tea
- Water
- Coconut milk in the refrigerated carton (not canned… it would be too thick for this recipe!)
No matter which base you choose, this smoothie will still give you amazing health benefits, as well as a great energy boost!

Very yummy ❤️
Great, but I don’t think I have meet a smoothie, yet, that I don’t like!
Loved this! Modified as I can’t have oranges so I just used mangoes and as usual put more spinach and less fruit but this was truly amazing and probably one of my favourites for flavour so far.
This one was ok but it will not make my favorites list.
Perfectly balanced between the sweetness of the mango and the coconut water.
Blended nicely tasted ok. I think it might be better with water instead.
Using a smaller piece of banana and a mandarin orange along with the mango, it was more than sweet enough so I used plain water instead of coconut water. It was still too sweet but 1/2 of a juiced lime did the trick. I subbed collard greens and cilantro for the spinach. I also added some unsweetened Paleo pumpkin protein powder to make this more of a meal replacement.
This is my favorite. I used blood oranges so the color was a bit darker. I love using coconut water to mix the smoothies.
Love this smoothie! So fresh, but also sweet. I swapped the orange for pineapple, as I don’t like orange in smoothies.
I thought this one was pretty good!
Bright green in colour and you can taste the orange. Very fresh and delicious.
WHOA!
Mango Orange Smoothie is by far my favorite. I boosted it up with a smoothie cube and it was creamy and sweet.
I’ll be making this one again soon!!!
I thought Mango Madness smoothie was really good; my husband said it was “okay,” but he’s still not used to drinking spinach. My mango was not quite ripe. I didn’t have any coconut water so I used tap water instead. For my half I added chia seeds, pea protein powder and a stick of celery.
This smoothie was good, but I didn’t have coconut water that didn’t have sugar, so it was a bit on the sweet side for me. The coconut water also overpowered the mango flavor, to me anyways.
My 10 year daughter really enjoyed this smoothie – it is her favourite so far! The coconut water is a great additional and I like the taste together with the orange and mango! I added chia seeds which added extra health benefits to this amazing smoothie.
Day 5 smoothie . Another winner . So yummy .
