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 use frozen mangos . I really loves mangos it’s juciy in smoothie it’s sooo delicious! My favorite!!!!!
ugh I HATE mangoes. But let me tell you, this smoothie was to die for! I could definitely use every day. #gimmesomespinach
Hey Liz,
That is so great that even though you hate mangoes you still gave it a try and loved it!!
Yay!!!
Frozen Mango was sold out at my co-op so I replaced it with peaches. I tasted more of the spinach than I would have liked, but all and all a good afternoon snack.
Loved this one! I actually left out the orange this time and added a little extra mango and the texture was amazing. The coconut water adds a whole extra layer of flavor and texture that I love! Enjoying the tropics even in the winter with this one.
A perfect blend of mango and orange! Felt like I was drinking and island drink on the beach 🙂 I loved it and will totally add this to my smoothie rotation.
Live this recipe! In love with green smoothies!
So delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!
I Liked it , but it reminded me a little of orange bang. If you like orange bang then you’ll probably like this one.
Hey Monica,
I know exactly what you are talking about and it does taste the same!!
I loved this one, a keeper for sure! I got half my family to drink this one! Yeah!
This is my favorite thus far. I will be making this one on all the free style days – unless I find another fav 🙂
This is definitely one of my favorites! I love the tropical flavors of this smoothie!
One of my favorite recipes!
Very tropical tasting. We did not have coconut water so mixed a tsp of coconut oil to warm water, worked well. Children loved it. Definitely strong coconut flavor (but maybe because I used oil instead?)
Hey Jesika,
If the coconut was too strong then you can always use water instead of adding the coconut water.
Coconut tends to have a strong taste for some so if you are not a fan it is perfectly fine to leave that out! 🙂
Delicious!
I’m fortunate enough to live in the tropics and have fresh mango from my garden and coconuts are abundant! This is one of my favorite smoothie combinations. Cheers!
Made this yesterday for the whole family! The color is lovely and it was sweet and creamy. My kids even liked it!
Made this for my mom and I yesterday and we both loved it! She’s not much of a smoothie person, so I’m excited she liked this!
This one was good so I am back to loving the smoothies. Neither of the fruits is overpowering and comes out tasty.
I love this smoothie!! It is a morning burst and wakes me up!
One of my favorites so far! Super refreshing. I had pineapple infused coconut water so I used that instead of plain…tropical perfection!
Wow that pineapple infused coconut water sounds like a dream 🙂
