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!

Oops I didn’t rate it
Yes… so green and full of goodness! Loved it!
Day Five. Yes, I really loved how the orange shined through this smoothie. It was just a touch of sweet. I really like how smooth it is and how refreshing it is.
This was the best smoothie yet on this challenge! We added Chia seeds however you could not take them. We are making this smoothie again and again.
Thank you!
Really good, as usual . I really love when they are a pretty green color.
Really yummy! The entire family liked this one!
Day 5’s mango madness smoothie is a winner! I used a mandarin vs orange & turned it into a meal replacement by adding 2 tbls chia seeds & 1 tbls coconut oil. Very filling!
I would give this one more stars if I could.
Mango goodness
Another great recipe! Loved it. Don’t even taste the mango. Sweet and spinachy!
Double yummy!! Mango Orange is my second favorite of all after Beginner’s Luck. Coconut water is my go to liquid because it’s so hydrating so this one is a win.
Loved this one it was super refreshing.
Yum!! Great for the whole family as they loved the sweetness from the banana with the flavors of mango and orange! Definitely a keeper!
This Mango Madness day 5 smoothie was really good. This was my traveler’s smoothie. This weekend was spent getting three of my children back to college. It was a lot of driving and staying over at my sisters. I made last night at her house and grabbed it this morning as I left to drive back home, about a 5 hour drive. I was worried about the coconut water, because about 40 years ago I had some fresh from a just picked coconut and I didn’t like it. Since then I’ve avoided it but today I do drink it in the smoothie and I could taste it and guess what? I really like it. The smoothie was really good and a nice refresher for the drive home.
This has been my favorite so far…5+ on the RawkStar rating!
This is the perfect winter smoothie. All of the vitamin C will keep all those nasty bugs away. It was delicious and will for sure be a part of our smoothie rotation!
