Ingredients You’ll Need
This mango spinach smoothie uses simple, whole-food ingredients that blend into a creamy, nutrient-rich drink.
- Baby spinach: Mild leafy green vegetable that adds iron, fiber, and vitamins without tasting green.
- Coconut water: A hydrating base that supports electrolyte balance.
- Orange (peeled): Bright citrus flavor and a boost of vitamin C.
- Frozen mango: Naturally sweet and creamy; fresh mango works too— you just had to cut mango, freeze it or add in some ice cubes.
- Avocado: Healthy fats for a smooth, satisfying texture.
- Collagen peptides: Boosts protein to help make this smoothie more filling. Can swap with my homemade protein powder if you’re vegan.

How to Make Mango Spinach Smoothie
This green smoothie comes together quickly, especially when using one of my recommended blenders for smoothies. For more blending tips, check out my how to make a smoothie guide.
- Add liquids first. Pour coconut water into the blender.
- Add leafy greens. Add fresh spinach and blend on high until all leafy chunks are gone.
- Add fruit. Add orange and frozen mango (or fresh mango plus ice) and blend again.
- Finish with creamy add-ins. Add avocado and collagen to the mixture and blend on low until mixed in.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Blending Tips
Taste and adjust. Add more liquid, fruit, or protein powder as needed before serving.
Use the freezer. Stock up on fresh fruit (when on sale) and store in the freezer. Keeping frozen mango, banana, and pineapple on hand makes smoothies thick and creamy without ice. You can also make frozen meal prep smoothie packs with this recipe.
Layer correctly. Liquids first (including the orange since it blends into a sweet juice), leafy greens second, frozen fruit last for easier blending.
Start slow. Begin blending on low speed, then increase to fully break down fresh spinach and fibrous fruit.
Suggested Swaps + Healthy Additions
This mango spinach smoothie is easy to customize based on taste and nutrition goals.
- Use unsweetened almond milk: Swap 1:1 to have a creamy smoothie using a non-dairy milk alternative.
- Swap mango: Use frozen pineapple for a bright, tangy tropical twist or frozen peaches for a low sugar fruit alternative.
- Leave out the spinach: if you prefer a fruit smoothies with protein.
- Sweeter: Add 1/2 banana for natural sweetness and potassium while thickening the smoothie. Mix in some pineapple for extra sweetness and vitamin C. You can also add a squirt of honey if that’s all you have on hand.
- Add healthy fats: Almond butter or peanut butter adds richness and helps keep you full longer yet will drastically change the flavor.
- Extra nutrients: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for fiber and omega-3s and top with coconut flakes or granola for a nice texture and sweetness. Add more protein powder, Greek yogurt, or hemp seeds for additional protein.
- Creamier texture: Use more avocado or almond butter for a thicker smoothie. If you prefer a smoothie bowl, skip the coconut water and blend the orange first to create an orange juice.

Not at all. Spinach has a mild flavor, and the sweet mango and citrus completely mask it, making this smoothie fruity and refreshing.
Yes. A high-speed blender creates the creamiest texture, but a standard blender works too—just blend a little longer and use fully thawed fruit if needed.
Adding protein powder, collagen peptides, Greek yogurt, or healthy fats like avocado or nut butter turns this smoothie into a satisfying meal replacement.
Very refreshing. Allergic to mango so I put in strawberries
Love how you made that smoothie your own! Thanks for the review!
Love that this mango smoothie is made with coconut water. Perfect combination.
I agree there is something about coconut water and mango! Yummy! Thanks for the review!
Another delicious smoothie. I did omit the coconut water for just plain water to reduce the sugar intake and it was a bit less sweet but still great!!
So glad the smoothie was delicious and you put exactly what your body needed into the meal! Yay!
Very nice!! This has been a great week!!! Thank you so muvh
You are so welcome Carol! Glad you had a great experience! Thanks for the review!
I really like this smoothie recipe. I like it’s simplicity as well as the flavors. I used kale instead of spinach and a whole orange since I didn’t have enough mango. Since I didn’t have an avocado, I used some hemp seeds. This just may be my go-to smoothie.
I love how you got creative with what you had on hand! Glad it turned out well!
Really enjoyed this one. Lightly sweet great flavor.
Glad you loved the flavor!
Delicious and one I make often. Highly recommend.
Glad you loved this smoothie Eva! Love when you find one that you can put on rotation!
Love Coconut Water, put into most of my smoothies.
Coconut water can really give a smoothie a fresh flavor!
Still loving those tropical flavors. I used your Homemade Protein Powder since I made this on day one and still have on hand. This 7 days has been great. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome! Glad you tried the Homemade Protein Powder!
Added some extra greens and some Irish moss powder, it blended into a nice thick delicious smoothie, definitely will do this again. At first, I thought that 1 cup of mango would make it too sweet but that was not the case at all, the sweetness was not a factor.
So glad that you enjoyed the smoothie! Extra greens for the win!
I used the homemade protein powder mix instead of collagen and added half a banana and a full cup of coconut water to achieve the large 3 cup size I prefer. As expected it was delicious!
So glad you enjoyed the smoothie and made modifications that you loved!
Yummmmm! I think mango and orange are one of the smoothie “dream team” combos. The flavor, thickness, and creaminess of this one can’t be beat! I love that in all the recipes you have tips, swaps, and suggestions. Super helpful.
So glad you enjoyed the smoothie! I do love the orange and mango combo!
Mmmmmm, what more is there to say?! This green smoothie with spinach, mango, orange, and avocado was a perfect way to start my Sunday morning before church and great way to end the week. Loved the added collagen peptides that just helps make it more dense in nutrition (or maybe rounded it off). So creamy and delicious and another one to give you the feels of summer vibes in a glass.
What a great description! Glad you enjoyed the smoothie!
Thanks for this great smoothie recipe! I love getting the extra protein without a chalky taste!
Glad you enjoyed the smoothie! Thanks for the review!
This was so good! I used regular spring water instead of the coconut water. I do not like mango so I subbed frozen peach. Worked out well! I will keep this on rotate.
Way to add in the items you like and still have it come out great!
