Take your tastebuds on a tropical journey with this mango orange smoothie. It’s no secret that I love mango… I could blend it in every smoothie. It’s one of the stars of our fool-proof Best Green Smoothie.
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 Ingredients
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 homemade protein powder recipe. This plant-based, all organic powder will boost your smoothie by 10 grams of protein!
Mango Orange Smoothie 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!

I liked this but I will use less banana as it seems to take over the taste
Next time I will not add the banana to enjoy the mango and orange taste more.
Someone had finished off all the mango, so I had to sub peaches. I loved the tropical flavor and can’t wait to try it with mango. This was the first smoothie my son tried, and he liked it, too.
So good, mango goodness
Yummy! It was a refreshing drink.
Liked this one! Even better than beginners luck. Sweet and tropical. YUM!
Loved it! My new favorite!!
My kiddos drank this down so fast. It was a win for sure. We also added ginger
Modified slightly, I did not add banana and I doubled the mango. ABSOLUTELY my favorite so far. I am going to do this again and add a stalk of celery.
I loved this smoothie. So refreshing!
This is a winner. Loved the sweetness of the tropical fruit taste
Nice! Light, fruity, pretty color.
Very good… In a hurry so I used a whole cutie instead of half an orange and turned into a meal with coconut oil and chia seeds.
This one was ok. I didn’t have enough mango left so it didn’t taste as sweet.
Another yummy smoothie. Not too sweet, added kale and it changed the taste from the last four but so worth it!
After this mornings epic fail when I chopped up my plastic lid I decided to give this another try and a lot of things happened. I used a kale spinach blend and I added in a chia seed pudding cube (this was a result of a failure with the chia seed pudding) and it was the only thing I had to make it cold so I am essentially drinking a warm smoothie which I do not recommend. But otherwise good and I can see this one becoming a regular in the rotation.
