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
- Spinach: Fresh or frozen both work well
- Coconut water: Adds hydration and subtle sweetness
- Orange: Peel first to avoid bitterness
- Frozen mango: Key for thickness and tropical flavor (check out how to cut mango for prep tips)
- Banana: Adds creaminess and balance
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.

This tropical tasting smoothie is delicious! 10/10 recommend!!
This is my favorite so far. I kept the peel on the orange for an extra citrusy flavor. Really good!
Really tasty! I usually gravitate towards smoothie recipes with pineapple, but I’m finding that I really like the orange-y ones, too, especially when I leave at least a little peel on the oranges.
Mangos are not my favorite, and some smoothies disguise them well. However this one did not. 🙁 It won’t be on my regular rotation. Chugged it down. For someone that likes mangos give it a try.
Day 5 – Simple Green Smoothie Challenge – Love this Smoothie I added Maca Powder to mine. This is a keeper and make again and again.
Another Winner!!! I added coconut milk smoothie cubes, and this one made me feel like I was on a beach somewhere with fresh mango and coconut! It was also very energizing!
This was a great post-workout boost this morning! Loved the strong mango taste and slight tang from the coconut water.
GREAT! LOVED IT!
I love this smoothie! Oranges are one of my “go to” smoothie ingredients. I love how vibrant and fresh this is.
Very tasty and vibrant. I used coconut milk, refrigerated carton ( only 45 calories per cup), as my store had no coconut water. I used 62 grams of banana, about 60 grams of orange and about 64 grams of mango plus 1Tablespoon of chia seeds. I’ll have to try adding some of my favorites to a future smoothie ( fresh mint leaves and flat leaf parsley) a refreshing combination.
Not my favorite, but I love what coconut water does to the flavor of smoothies! ❤️
I do enjoy this smoothie. Orange is not my favorite smoothie ingredient, but I think it works well with the mango in this one.
I liked the orange mango combo, this is a smoothie I make on my own quite often.
Yum yummy! Instead of mango I used a frozen mix that is mostly peach with a tiny bit of mango left. Still very good. Added carrot, celery, some turmeric ginger smoothie cubes, and pasteurized egg whites to increase the protein. It’s a winner!
LOVE THIS, I was out of coconut water but had a blend of Almond/Coconut Milk so substituted with that. I also added extra spinach and vanilla whey protein. So delicious and refreshing, it tasted like a milkshake.
Made as directed…. Delicious! Then added extra spinach, protein powder and hemp hearts to make it a meal.
Very tropical! Yummy n I added extra pineapple. Fulfilling❤️
This is one of my very favorites – it has become a staple of my smoothie rotation. Smooth and delightfully tasteful!
I added extra spinach, orange, and banana to this smoothie. It’s super delicious. LOVE the color!
Loved this smoothie! Very refreshing & flavorful. I used half coconut water & half regular water.
