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.

- 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.
Mango Orange Green Smoothie
Jen HansardVideo
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ orange peeled
- ½ cup mango frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a blender. Add the spinach and orange and blend until smooth.
- Add the mango, banana and protein powder, if using. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it’s too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Greens Swap: Baby kale, romaine or any other mild leafy green can replace the spinach.
- Liquid Swaps: Plain water works in place of the coconut water. For a creamier smoothie, use unsweetened almond milk.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of homemade protein powder to make it more filling. Add a splash more liquid if it gets too thick.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

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 🙂
