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.

I love this one…. I have all the recipes from Green Smoothie challenges prior to this one and have scoured it to find my weekend free for alls! This one will definitely go in the book. I have done this challenge several times but, this is my hubby’s first time- be is totally sold! With one this tasty he has zero complaint !!! Thanks for the yummy!!!!
I’m not a big mango fan, but this smoothie was great!
I loved this one! I wasn’t going to bother buying mango but I am so glad I did. This one was so refreshing.
Hey Kellyann,
Glad you went for it and bought the mango!! It is the most refreshing fruit in my opinion =D
Really enjoyed this one; way more than I thought I would. I’ll be making it again, but blending the oranges first to strain out the pulp, then blending the spinach and banana after that.
I really liked this smoothie – I subbed out mango for pineapple due to allergies, and found it to be very fresh and citrus-y. Still not as good as Berry Blast, but I will definitely make this again!
Hey Steph,
Great way to substitute the mango for pineapple. I bet it was delicious =P
I loved it! It was smooth and was tasty.
Decided to take a break from spinach and instead used a blend of super greens. Kale, chard, mizuna & spinach. Had a little stronger taste of “green” but blended with the orange, mango & banana it was just a delicious as if I only used spinach. A good blend of fruits & veggies.
Hey Sue,
Good job switching up your greens with this recipe.
I’m not a fan of oranges in my smoothies as they turn out to pulpy (maybe I’ll have to try blending my orange then straining), so I used 1c of liquid and subbed 1/2c of pineapple in place of the orange. Delightful 5-Stars with this modification.
Please suggest how to deal with pulp when using standard blender with green smoothie setting.
Hey Dora,
I would try blending the orange and the liquid first. That way it will blend through the pulp much better than adding it at the end.
Hope that helps!
I admit I was not eager for this morning’s smoothie as I dislike mango! Well, I was very happily surprised by the flavor this smoothie offered. I added a little Nutiva protein powder(plant based) and a little almond butter so it would hold me until lunchtime. It was really refreshing and flavorful. I am loving this challenge as I was in a rut and had been drinking the same couple smoothie recipes all week. Loving this new variety of ingredients,
Hey Carolyn,
I am so happy that this recipe surprised you! That is why I loved this challenge so much because you get to try so many new recipes that you wouldn’t normally go for.
Cheers!
I love love love this smoothie….but don’t you dare make it with a banana past it’s prime – it loses all possible detection of the mango. I made sure to have perfect specimens for today’s blend-up and started off the week right!
Hey Elizabeth,
Oh no, that does not sound good if your banana over powered your mango! Glad you were able to figure out what was causing it and make it work for you 🙂
Delicious!!! Really enjoyed this smoothie, great taste.
Very good!
Loved this one! It was a sweet treat.
I really liked this one… the only thing for me is that it felt too thick so I would add a it more coconut water next time… other than that it was absolutely delicious!! 10/10
Had to add additional coconut water as the smoothie was super thick. Liked this one too!
Hey Patricia,
That is so great you were able to adjust it and make it work for you!
I could really taste the mango in this recipe. It’s one of my favorites. Next time I will have to add some protein and make it a meal
This was pretty good! I’m not a huge fan of banana or coconut water, but this was pretty good despite that. I tasted a little more of the banana than the other flavors. Next time I might try avocado instead, or more mango. I added some almond milk to thin it out and some flax and chia.
This smoothie was to much fruit sugars. The flavor was good and added flaxseed an coconut oil. Three stars
Hey Anita,
You can always swap the amount of fruit and veggies in your smoothie so that it is the perfect amount for you specifically!
That way you will have less fruit added to your smoothie.
Cheers!
Liked the flavor with the coconut water.
Didn’t have coconut water so used water. This is definitely one of my top 3 smoothie flavors! Am loving this challenge!
Hey Audrey,
Glad you made it your own by adding the water since you didn’t have the coconut water!
