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 Beginner's Luck 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 sugar in this smoothie is a little high for you, then I've got some great swap options. Swap out ½ banana for ¼ 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 Protein Smoothie Boost. This plant based, all organic powder will boost your smoothie by 10 grams of protein!
Mango orange smoothie 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!

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.
Titilola Palmer
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.
Kathy Overstreet
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!!!
Danna
Orange and mango together is so refreshing!
Anna
I liked this one but not as much as the others. Maybe I am not a fan of coconut water?
Simple Green Smoothies
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.
Susan
Creamy, hint of orange with a tease of banana.
Nice.
Amy Wheeler
This one was pretty tasty but I still like my day 2 smoothie best.
Jess Spitsbergen
This one is pretty good!

Day 5 - mango orange smoothie is so refreshing and lite. I feel great inside drinking a green smoothie everyday.
Judith Walter
One of my favorites. I’m excited getting all of my calcium by morning time
Laura
Pretty tasty! Used a raspberry orange I found at ALDI, which gave it a berry flavor in addition to the orange.
Cristina Ribeiro
Tropical!
Evelyn
Tastes so good!!
Venetria Patton
This is good! I followed the recipe except I used mango flavored unsweetened coconut water.
Dawn
Really good! Even little one liked it and she "doesn't like mango".
Dieta
Absolutely love the flavour of this smoothie....added a couple of sprigs of fresh peppermint....wonderful.
Simple Green Smoothies
I bet peppermint really made the flavors pop! Great addition. 🙂
Catherine lennon
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 .
Cynthia
I love mango!! So good.
Birgit
It was tasty, but I didn't like the texture (my blender has a problem with oranges)
Sandra S
This smoothie had a bright citrus flavor.
sarah
Love this smoothie. It taste like the tropics!
KayLyn Fox
I really loved this smoothie. Made it a meal replacement by adding rolled oats and almond butter. So yummy!!
Beth
Misjudged how much frozen mango I had when I started the challenge so I had to substitute peaches for mango in this recipe. It was still delicious though! Looking forward to trying this as it is supposed to be though and will be getting more mango soon.
Tammy Verhulst
Making sure I rated this recipe. I know I have commented already.
Yvonne
Yummie smoothie-love the orange citrus flavor and I will make this one again!
Krista
Love the coconut water in this smoothie, great combination with the fruit, It is incredibly refreshing and will make it a lot!
CJ
Nice fresh flavor. I used OJ instead of the orange.
Marcie
Really liked the combination of flavors in this one. I'll definitely be making this one again!
Monique King
It was good but not a huge fan of the orange . May have been the actual orange that I added - it didn’t add any flavor in my opinion.
Fiona Gough
It was nice but I think I was expecting more mango flavour.
Patti
Enjoyed the flavor combination of this smoothie!
Kimberly Felton
I like this one; light and easy to drink! Anything citrusy is great by me.

Lmtorres
This was quite tasty
Jess
Love this combination! Yet another kid-approved smoothie! Thank you!
Deanna Perlmutter
Mango madness was superb! The coconut water definitely added a twist to this drink. The orange, mango, & banana were perfect together. This combination made me feel like I was on vacation!
Astrid Carreras
Well I decided since it was suggested to turn this smoothie into a meal replacement added rolled oats and since I did not have almond butter in the pantry decided to substitute with organic peanut butter smooth. It is a game changer adding this two ingredients first flavour wise turns into even more delicious and second it is really feeling with out the food coma after.
Great Idea thank you rawkstar club.
Kimberly
So yummy!! A quick escape to an island. Yum!
Kimberly
So yummy and takes me to an island!
Leasa
Not my favorite. It left an aftertaste.
Melody
One of my favorites! Love the combo of mango and orange!
Christine
Very good & yummy!
Amelia
I think this smoothie would taste better for me if I would of remembered coconut water in my grocery list lol
France
Added some hemp seeds and coconut oil as a post workout drink. Loved the flavor, didn't like the orange skins. Will have to find nicer oranges 😀
Efef Salem Wood
Made it this morning. Very refreshing. I’m a day behind. So I will try to catch up and make day six smoothie for my nighttime snack if I feel hungry.
Zohra
The flavors of this smoothie were delicious, I use frozen fruit, so it ended up being a little thicker than other (frozen fruit) smoothies. Would definitely try again but with a little less frozen fruit next time.
Estella
Feeling healthy with my daily smoothie..... so far they have been good.
Ann
Orange had continually been refreshing in smoothies.
Raquel
Mango orange - Yum!!! Great tasting smoothie
AnnMarie
Loved it. Felt like I was on a tropical vacation.
Patrice
Day 5 - Mango Madness. I really enjoyed this one. The flavor was good, only 1/2 an orange. Love the coconut water. Also was feeling a cold coming on. After my smoothie and my multivitamin...All gone!!!
Naomi
This one was the best one for me. We went back to work after a two week winter break and this smoothie took me up to lunch. No hunger pains
from being off schedule.
Joy
Perfection!
Liane Oelke
Just love it..one of my favs, beside the one with avocado and mango, the berry one...and one of my go to right now is the weight loss smoothie ..thanks for the recipes
Liane
Diana
Withbthe ingredients Inused it was not bad. I substituted some frozen cranberries, frozen strawberries and an avacado for the mango, banana and orange. I also added some raw cauliflower and celery. I used less fruit and more vegetables. I used Organic super greens(spinach, kale, swiss chard and mizuna) in place of the spinach.
I added some cinnamon, MCT oil and a little NuttZo butter, 1 teaspoon Matcha, 1 Tablespoon full fat Greek yogurt.

Helen Thadathil
This one like. Ingeridients easy to find and smooth.
Frances
This smoothie contains my two favourite fruits: mango and banana! I loved it.
Nelleke Beats
The orange flavor really mixed it up. Tasted like a morning drink
Kate
It was good.
Susan Garcia
This was good, but still a bit sweet for me. I used kale instead of spinach and I added mint and a turmeric smoothie cube. I need to add more vegies or back off on the fruit.
Jan Hickey
This one was good tho I didn’t have coconut water so I used plain water. I think it would have been better with the coconut water.
Half way thru this challenge. How is everyone doing?
Bethany
Another great smoothie, especially with coconut water. My husband and I have been drinking one everyday. They are great with cacao nibs. Day 2 I added protein powder and it was excellent. There are no bad smoothies.
Tammy Verhulst
This one has been one of the best thus far.
Tammy Verhulst
This one tasted better than the last few.
Sheri
This is one of my favorites. It takes me straight to a warm, sandy beach!
Rebecca
Super good! Was very enjoyable
KP
This smoothie was delicious. I added 2Tbs coconut oil and 4Tbs chia. It was wonderfully tropical.
Roxanne Villaluz
This was a really yummy recipe! I had a bag of mystery citrus & I ended up using a blood orange instead of an orange. That blood orange really added an extra layer of yum.
doris
this is the sweetest one I've had since day one.
Michelle
I cheated and added more mangoes just because I love them and with the coconut water which is good natural hydration for our bodies just hit the spot for me. I also like that even with the extra mangoes it wasn't sweet.
Dora Suarez
Loving this recipe I can really taste the mango & absolutely no hint of citrus (I froze the orange). This makes it a winner for me, adding to my keeper list.
sherri
My favorite by far.
Nickie
All four of my kids did Not like this one. I don’t think they like the tropical flavor of it.
I like it but I don’t love it.
Greg
Very good but I am wondering about how much sugar is in these smoothies since we are using so much fruit.
Simple Green Smoothies
Greg, if you're concerned about the amount of natural sugar in your smoothie, you can flip the ratio of greens to fruit. 🙂
Laura Allison
I'm a sucker for anything remotely tropical. Beginners lunch m and this one is definitely at the top.
Cindy
Day 5 Best yet! I added protein powder. Energized me for the morning.
Marie
Made this for dinner last night. Love the flavors. My husband and teenage daughter loved the smoothie.
FNU
Great and delicious! I loved it and also did replace banana with avocado
Cindy A
Love the combination of flavors!! This one’s a keeper!!
Melissa Chiappone
This one was pretty good. I do love citrus in my smoothies, so I'm sure that helped. I'm not a fan of mango. I did add some chia seed to this one to super food it up!
Dianna Ebright
I enjoyed this smoothie very much. I made sure to remove the skin from the orange this time. Put it in my pretty peacock feather tervis and took is shopping with me.
Jennifer A
Made recipe as is with no changes or additions. Great smoothie...fruity and delicious!
Leslie
Great smoothies. I added coconut yogurt and made it even a smoother. Also, ran out of spinach and used kale.
Sandy
I love this smoothie, except for peeling the orange and having half of it left over. I saw that others were using Mandarins, so I am going to try that the next time I make it. I love the flavor, though. I can't eat oranges straight, but had no trouble with it blended in a smoothie, especially with mango. I love mango!
Marie-Claude LAFLEUR
Quite a runner that one! I think it may even surpass the Beginner’s Luck as for taste, for me!! Love mangos, more than pineapples ! And with a kale cube added, it added a touch of freshness that was welcomed!
Atlanta
I had to sub water for coconut water and kale for spinach plus I added glow protein powder. Delicious!
Hilgay
Mangos are my all-time favourite fruit! So there was a pep in my step today as I drank my mango madness smoothie. Whohoo !! I use frozen mangos from Costco and they are excellent !
Robert Bowen
This one was good, but not my favorite so far. I added kale, used regular water (don't like the taste of coconut anything), mandarines instead of orange. My mango didn't ripen up like I had hoped so didn't have as much sweetness so this could have affected the overall taste. I do like the combo of ingredients. Will try again with a nicely ripened mango.
Sonya
I didn’t realize that coconut water expires within 24hrs so I had to use regular water. It wasn’t the best.
Carrie O
We all really enjoyed this one. I love the orange/mango/banana combo!!
Kimberly Watt
Oops I didn’t rate it
Kimberly Watt
Yes... so green and full of goodness! Loved it!
Jeannine Klemm
Day Five. Yes, I really loved how the orange shined through this smoothie. It was just a touch of sweet. I really like how smooth it is and how refreshing it is.
Debi
This was the best smoothie yet on this challenge! We added Chia seeds however you could not take them. We are making this smoothie again and again.
Thank you!
April Koebcke
Really good, as usual . I really love when they are a pretty green color.
Julie
Really yummy! The entire family liked this one!
Mary Middleton
Day 5’s mango madness smoothie is a winner! I used a mandarin vs orange & turned it into a meal replacement by adding 2 tbls chia seeds & 1 tbls coconut oil. Very filling!
Sherry Villeneuve
I would give this one more stars if I could.
