Ingredients You’ll Need
These ingredients were chosen to keep this smoothie gentle, dairy-free, and easy on digestion. Each one plays a role in creating a blend that feels soothing, creamy, and naturally sweet—without overpowering your system.
- Frozen mango adds natural sweetness and a thick, creamy texture. Using it frozen means you don’t need ice, which keeps the flavor rich and smooth. If you’re using a fresh mango, check out my tips to help you easily cut a mango so you can freeze it.
- Cashew milk is mild and naturally creamy, making it a great non-dairy milk option that lets the fruit flavors shine.
- Plain yogurt adds creaminess and healthy fats that help make this smoothie more satisfying. Choose unsweetened plain Greek to keep added sugars low or make my cashew coconut yogurt.
- Ground turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, adds warmth and color. A small amount goes a long way and blends easily into this smoothie. You might also like my honey turmeric smoothie.
- Orange brightens the smoothie and pairs beautifully with mango and turmeric, adding vitamin C and a light citrus finish.

Ingredient Variations
This recipe is meant to be flexible. Whether you want more protein, extra creaminess, or a boost of greens, these swaps help you make the smoothie fit your needs without losing its calming, anti-inflammatory feel.
- Boost the protein: Add a serving of collagen peptides or plant-based protein powder.
- Make it extra creamy: Add ¼ avocado for healthy fats without changing the flavor.
- Add greens: A handful of spinach blends in easily and won’t overpower the mango.
- Swap the milk: Almond milk or oat milk work well if cashew milk isn’t available.
Recipe Tips
A few small tweaks can make this smoothie work even better for your body. Use these tips to adjust the texture, flavor, or wellness benefits based on how you’re feeling that day.
- For better turmeric absorption: Add a pinch of black pepper if desired. You won’t taste it, but it helps your body absorb turmeric more effectively.
- For a lighter texture: Add a splash of water or more cashew milk.
- For a thicker smoothie: Use frozen orange segments instead of fresh.
- High-speed blender: Any blender can make a smoothie, yet my recommended blenders for smoothies make the even better in half the blending time.

Finally picked up collagen peptides! All the other ingredients are always handy and available at my house! With today’s heat, I did feel like I was on an island with this delicious mango smoothie! This recipe is a keeper! (If only I could find the best way to pick a good mango!)
Right! I normally use frozen.
So so sweet and creamy. I added chocolate protein powder, not the next choice but it’s what I had. It reminds me of those chocolate covered orange candy sticks! Delicious!
Well, that sounds amazing!
Using dairy is not healthy. I was under the impression these were for health.
You do not have to use dairy. You can always use a dairy free yogurt.
Delicious and creamy. I used almond milk and vanilla Greek yogurt. Another keeper.
Woohoo!
As previously mentioned, I’m using up what I have. I substituted cottage cheese for yogurt, peaches for orange and coconut milk for cashew milk and added protein powder, the rest stayed the same. It came out thick like pudding which is actually a nice change. It’s mildly different and not as sweet as some. I enjoyed it. Next time I’ll try it as written.
Way to use what you have. Yes, next time you make it let us know what you think.
Oooh I LOVE mango! I can not wait to try this one today. I love the neutral Cashew Milk being used as well. This sounds truly tropical!
After you make it, please rate what you think.
Interesting combination of flavors. Just enough turmeric to make it very tasty.
Awesome!!
Another YUM. Mango is so yummy, tumeric gives it a nice spice. Not to sweet I love it.
So glad you liked it!
Orange, mango, and (added) spinach were winners! I love using the whole fruit (such as the orange) in these smoothies, esp. with my (borrowed) high speed blender. The turmeric added a nice, very subtle, slightly exotic twist. After seeing me making these smoothies for the challenge, my low-vegetable, low-fruit eating husband asked for this one and enjoyed it thoroughly. I think I have a convert now :-).
That is amazing and a win!!!
Overall, I liked this one. I did put in a cup of spinach so mine was more sage green rather than orange! I also put in a serving of vanilla protein powder because I didn’t find it sweet enough for my liking. If I were to make this smoothie again, I’d put the correct amount of pepper in it…I accidentally started with a half of tsp of it instead of turmeric…had to scoop it out! Too early in the morning, I guess!
Oh no. Glad you were able to get the pepper out! That could have been interesting.
“This one feels like sunshine in a glass! ☀️ The mango and orange combo is so bright and refreshing, and that touch of turmeric gives it a cozy, golden glow. Love how the cashew milk makes it extra creamy!”
Love your description. Thanks!
Hello! This recipe looks great! One thing I’m concerned about is the sweetness. Most fruit smoothies that people like, with just the sweetness of the fruit, are just too tart and lack flavor to me (which means I struggle to drink it and don’t stick with anything like this). Is there anything that I could add to sweeten and enhance the flavor of the shake? Obviously sugar, honey, vanilla, etc., but I was curious if you had any suggestions or thoughts on adding some unhealthy to the healthy LOL.
Thank you!
You could definitely add a banana to sweeten things. I also like to add a date as well. Let me know what you try and how it tasted.
The yogurt usually has plenty of sugar to sweeten it. Maybe add a little extra?
Try it again and maybe add a little banana.
