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!
Smoothies with a Vitamin C Boost

Here for Rawkstar Bingo to rate Day 5 smoothie on the blog! 5/5! Delicious tropical taste!
Great smoothie. Loved the mango and coconut water…the coconut is just the right amount!
Swapped out mango for peaches. It was ok. Days 3 and 4 were our favorites so far.
Can’t wait for next 5 days! Back to school tomorrow for all too so hopefully we can blend these in the morning quickly for all.
Love this one! Feels tropical in this cold, windy New England weather
Today, day five, I did Very Berry which was posted for day four. The color was not very appealing and the taste not my favorite.
Super yummy. I added a piece of kale and went with plain water rather than the coconut water since this is a sweet one. But we loved it. Definitely one to go back to. Especially this winter.
Probably my second favorite smoothie. Oddly, I don’t like mango on its own, but something about it in smoothies works for me.
Loved this smoothie! Each one seems to be better than the last! Looking forward to the next 5 days.
(Added a small amount of hemp hearts and flax seeds). After reading other comments about bloating etc., I will add some turmeric and ginger in upcoming smoothies.
This whole blog is full of fantastic tips and information!
Thank you, Joy!
A+++++
So refreshing!!!
Didn’t like this one as much as the others.
A nice tropical feel and tasty too!
This mango and orange combo is delicious!!
We took the orange out so that it would be more Mango cream. Another lovely day with greens. I also tried a savory veggie only.
Yum! I love mango.
This was good. I had to substitute the orange for additional mango and a little extra banana. I would make this again
Day 5 Mango Madness, this is so delicious, I added kale, chia seeds, flax meal and cilantro!
