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!

Very tropical! Yummy n I added extra pineapple. Fulfillingโค๏ธ
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.
I doubled the spinach and replaced half the mango with anti-inflammation smoothie cubes. I’m not sure how this changed the flavor but it was delish.
Yum! I’m really loving these smoothie recipes. This one was so good. I really enjoyed this flavor combination. I was not sure that I would like this one but with the addition of the plant based vanilla protein powder the flavor for me was just right. Another one that I will make again.
Left out the orange (tummy is better, but not 100%). Added oatmeal and Metamucil!!! Yummy!!! Not as great as it would be with the orange in it!!!
Orange and mango together is so refreshing!
I liked this one but not as much as the others. Maybe I am not a fan of coconut water?
Hey there Anna – If you haven’t tried coconut water in a smoothie before, that could be it! You can swap it out for regular water or a milk of your choice. Coconut milk would be what I’d go for to keep with the tropical theme and it doesn’t taste at all like coconut water.
Creamy, hint of orange with a tease of banana.
Nice.
This one was pretty tasty but I still like my day 2 smoothie best.
This one is pretty good!
So refreshing
Day 5 – mango orange smoothie is so refreshing and lite.
I am not a fan of using coconut water in my smoothie but this one was good and the benefits outdo the tastes. it
Day 5 – mango orange smoothie is so refreshing and lite. I feel great inside drinking a green smoothie everyday.
One of my favorites. Iโm excited getting all of my calcium by morning time
