This spinach smoothie is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, making it a nourishing option for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a light meal. I’ve boosted one of my classic recipes with a more filling option with collagen peptides and healthy fats.

Healthy fats add satisfaction, while whole-food carbs fuel your day.
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.
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!
Delicious smoothie. I did add half a banana and left out the orange and used pineapple instead. I don’t usually have mango but love it here.
Pineapple and mango are so good together!
I love any smoothie with mango as that is one of my favorite fruits. This smoothie did not disappoint. I used kale instead of spinach and added vanilla protein powder. I also only used about 1/2-2/3 cup of mango and I added frozen riced cauliflower to make the smoothie creamier and give me another veggie. I highly recommend this one.
Love that you added the cauliflower! Extra plants for the win!
This is definitely one of my fav from the challenge! It’s delicious and fruity without being too sweet!
So glad you enjoyed the smoothie! Mango is so delicious in a smoothie.
Yum. This was good. I can see experimenting with swaps and add-ins. I did use vanilla protein shake in place of the coconut water and collagen that I didn’t have. It added to the avocado’s creaminess.
So glad you enjoyed the smoothie! Way to make it your own!
Loved this recipe not a fan of Advocado but used it in this recipe and it was a game changer. The amount of energy I felt. Great taste
So glad you tried this with the avocado! Love that you felt more energy!
Love this one. I used the whole orange for extra flavor and vitamin c boost. Delicious .
I love it! Thanks for the review!
This is delicious and easy. I never thought I’d like coconut water but in the smoothies it makes for such an added treat!
And I love that I can just use water if I want. That’s my favorite part about all Jen’s recipes. They are delicious and easy to adapt.
When I first started simple green smoothies (years ago now), it was a hefty grocery bill because I had to revamp my cupboards. Now most of the ingredients I have on hand. The cost is no more than regular groceries.
I am turning 50 in March, and I think raw the year is the cheapest investment in health I could ever imagine. I always feel great when I follow Jen’s recipes. And the cleanses always work wonders for my energy, skin and overall happiness.
Thank you Jen!
That is amazing! So glad you are a part of the Community! Yes, once you get the main staples it makes it more cost effective and easy!
Way to prioritize your health! Glad you are seeing a differnce!
I love this recipe. So tasty and refreshing and huge bonus knowing it’s so nutritious. Definitely a keeper for my regular smoothie rotation.
Thank you for leaving a review! It is fun to know that nutrition and great flavors can go hand in hand.
