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 Nutrition
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 protein powder recipe. This plant-based, all organic powder will boost your smoothie by 10 grams of protein!
Liquid 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!

I think this smoothie would taste better for me if I would of remembered coconut water in my grocery list lol
Added some hemp seeds and coconut oil as a post workout drink. Loved the flavor, didn’t like the orange skins. Will have to find nicer oranges 😀
Made it this morning. Very refreshing. I’m a day behind. So I will try to catch up and make day six smoothie for my nighttime snack if I feel hungry.
The flavors of this smoothie were delicious, I use frozen fruit, so it ended up being a little thicker than other (frozen fruit) smoothies. Would definitely try again but with a little less frozen fruit next time.
Feeling healthy with my daily smoothie….. so far they have been good.
Orange had continually been refreshing in smoothies.
Mango orange – Yum!!! Great tasting smoothie
Loved it. Felt like I was on a tropical vacation.
Day 5 – Mango Madness. I really enjoyed this one. The flavor was good, only 1/2 an orange. Love the coconut water. Also was feeling a cold coming on. After my smoothie and my multivitamin…All gone!!!
This one was the best one for me. We went back to work after a two week winter break and this smoothie took me up to lunch. No hunger pains
from being off schedule.
Perfection!
Just love it..one of my favs, beside the one with avocado and mango, the berry one…and one of my go to right now is the weight loss smoothie ..thanks for the recipes

Withbthe ingredients Inused it was not bad. I substituted some frozen cranberries, frozen strawberries and an avacado for the mango, banana and orange. I also added some raw cauliflower and celery. I used less fruit and more vegetables. I used Organic super greens(spinach, kale, swiss chard and mizuna) in place of the spinach.
I added some cinnamon, MCT oil and a little NuttZo butter, 1 teaspoon Matcha, 1 Tablespoon full fat Greek yogurt.

This smoothie contains my two favourite fruits: mango and banana! I loved it.
The orange flavor really mixed it up. Tasted like a morning drink
