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!

Tastes so good!
This is a favorite! I love all things mango!
Yum!!
This was very delicious! Will be adding this one to my “make it again” list.
Best one yet!!! I’m not supposed to have oranges (acid reflux), but I figured 1/2 an oranges couldn’t hurt. DELICIOUS!!
I’m using Kale in all the drinks instead of spinach and I did add a small scoop of protein powder. I LOVE the pre-prep. This morning is church and I simply grabbed a prepared bag from the freezer, added the coconut water, blended and was ready to go. Even cleanup went fast. Next time I will add the flax, chia and Spirulina to it. This is great. Thanks
Very good! My husband liked this one the best so far.
Loved this one. Defiantly going to make this one again.
Jus love these smoothies!
The mango is wonderful !
Made as a meal replacement and added chia seeds. A little thicker than I like but it is delish!
This was my first time using coconut water. I don’t really like coconut for the texture. But this was good. I’ll certainly use it more often. I used a frozen mango/pineapple mix. Was in a hurry. Getting ready for church. Forgot the banana. Will take more time prepping orange next time. Still delicious.
A big fan of coconut water. Much better than almond milk. A refreshing tropical taste. Really appreciate the analysis behind every recipe and the fun facts. It shows your passion.
Yummy! I did not exepct to like it this much as I’m not really a mango fan but it’s good and I will make it again.
I turned this smoothie into a meal replacement by adding tofu and chia seeds AND I gave it a boost with spirulina powder AND I added parsley and mint for a little bit more of a healthy boost. After all was said and done, it was a delicious, healthy and filling smoothie but I think I lost some of the sweetness. Still tasty and would try again as the recipe was intended.
Great tropical smoothie. Has strong coconut flavor from coconut water so if you don’t coconuts you should change the liquid. I love the flavors
