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

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.

It was good.
This was good, but still a bit sweet for me. I used kale instead of spinach and I added mint and a turmeric smoothie cube. I need to add more vegies or back off on the fruit.
This one was good tho I didn’t have coconut water so I used plain water. I think it would have been better with the coconut water.
Half way thru this challenge. How is everyone doing?
Another great smoothie, especially with coconut water. My husband and I have been drinking one everyday. They are great with cacao nibs. Day 2 I added protein powder and it was excellent. There are no bad smoothies.
This one has been one of the best thus far.
This one tasted better than the last few.
This is one of my favorites. It takes me straight to a warm, sandy beach!
Super good! Was very enjoyable
This smoothie was delicious. I added 2Tbs coconut oil and 4Tbs chia. It was wonderfully tropical.
This was a really yummy recipe! I had a bag of mystery citrus & I ended up using a blood orange instead of an orange. That blood orange really added an extra layer of yum.
this is the sweetest one I’ve had since day one.
I cheated and added more mangoes just because I love them and with the coconut water which is good natural hydration for our bodies just hit the spot for me. I also like that even with the extra mangoes it wasn’t sweet.
Loving this recipe I can really taste the mango & absolutely no hint of citrus (I froze the orange). This makes it a winner for me, adding to my keeper list.
My favorite by far.
All four of my kids did Not like this one. I don’t think they like the tropical flavor of it.
I like it but I don’t love it.
Very good but I am wondering about how much sugar is in these smoothies since we are using so much fruit.
Greg, if you’re concerned about the amount of natural sugar in your smoothie, you can flip the ratio of greens to fruit. 🙂
I’m a sucker for anything remotely tropical. Beginners lunch m and this one is definitely at the top.
Day 5 Best yet! I added protein powder. Energized me for the morning.
Made this for dinner last night. Love the flavors. My husband and teenage daughter loved the smoothie.
Great and delicious! I loved it and also did replace banana with avocado
