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

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.

Pretty tasty! Used a raspberry orange I found at ALDI, which gave it a berry flavor in addition to the orange.
Tropical!
Tastes so good!!
This is good! I followed the recipe except I used mango flavored unsweetened coconut water.
Really good! Even little one liked it and she “doesn’t like mango”.
Absolutely love the flavour of this smoothie….added a couple of sprigs of fresh peppermint….wonderful.
I bet peppermint really made the flavors pop! Great addition. 🙂
Currently participating in the 10 day Rawster challenge , generally I don’t like coconut water , there are substitutes offered for all ingredients throughout the challenge however my OCD means following the challenge to the exact haha I was surprised, first mouthful I found refreshing and I could taste a hint of the coconut water l I enjoyed the smoothie however and thought next time I would make it without coconut water after the challenge , by the third mouthful however the refreshing burst kicked in and the taste was amazing, I pre-judged this fruity delight and will definitely stick to the recipe if I make again.
A lovely summer carnival of goodness in my mouth .
I love mango!! So good.
It was tasty, but I didn’t like the texture (my blender has a problem with oranges)
This smoothie had a bright citrus flavor.
Love this smoothie. It taste like the tropics!
I really loved this smoothie. Made it a meal replacement by adding rolled oats and almond butter. So yummy!!
