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!

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.
