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 Nutrition
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 protein powder recipe. This plant-based, all organic powder will boost your smoothie by 10 grams of protein!
Liquid 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!

Smooth and refreshing. Love the blend of orange, mango and banana. This will be one of my regular smoothies as I almost always have oranges, mangos and bananas around.
I liked the orange and mango flavors, but I didn’t care for the tang of the coconut water. I’ll have to try it again with just water instead!
I love this one too. I have been a little hesitant to use coconut water in the past but this was delicious.
I love orange! Delicious.
I use frozen mangos . I really loves mangos it’s juciy in smoothie it’s sooo delicious! My favorite!!!!!
ugh I HATE mangoes. But let me tell you, this smoothie was to die for! I could definitely use every day. #gimmesomespinach
Hey Liz,
That is so great that even though you hate mangoes you still gave it a try and loved it!!
Yay!!!
Frozen Mango was sold out at my co-op so I replaced it with peaches. I tasted more of the spinach than I would have liked, but all and all a good afternoon snack.
Loved this one! I actually left out the orange this time and added a little extra mango and the texture was amazing. The coconut water adds a whole extra layer of flavor and texture that I love! Enjoying the tropics even in the winter with this one.
A perfect blend of mango and orange! Felt like I was drinking and island drink on the beach 🙂 I loved it and will totally add this to my smoothie rotation.
Live this recipe! In love with green smoothies!
So delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!
I Liked it , but it reminded me a little of orange bang. If you like orange bang then you’ll probably like this one.
Hey Monica,
I know exactly what you are talking about and it does taste the same!!
I loved this one, a keeper for sure! I got half my family to drink this one! Yeah!
This is my favorite thus far. I will be making this one on all the free style days – unless I find another fav 🙂
This is definitely one of my favorites! I love the tropical flavors of this smoothie!
One of my favorite recipes!
