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
Jen HansardVideo
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ orange peeled
- ½ cup mango frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a blender. Add the spinach and orange and blend until smooth.
- Add the mango, banana and protein powder, if using. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it’s too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Greens Swap: Baby kale, romaine or any other mild leafy green can replace the spinach.
- Liquid Swaps: Plain water works in place of the coconut water. For a creamier smoothie, use unsweetened almond milk.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of homemade protein powder to make it more filling. Add a splash more liquid if it gets too thick.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

Hey Liz,
That is so great that even though you hate mangoes you still gave it a try and loved it!!
Yay!!!
Frozen Mango was sold out at my co-op so I replaced it with peaches. I tasted more of the spinach than I would have liked, but all and all a good afternoon snack.
Loved this one! I actually left out the orange this time and added a little extra mango and the texture was amazing. The coconut water adds a whole extra layer of flavor and texture that I love! Enjoying the tropics even in the winter with this one.
A perfect blend of mango and orange! Felt like I was drinking and island drink on the beach 🙂 I loved it and will totally add this to my smoothie rotation.
