Also known affectionately as “Pink Flamango,” this strawberry mango smoothie was created by my very first Simple Green Smoothies team member, Dan Mottayaw. That was 8 years ago, and now he’s got a toddler who gulps this smoothie down! It warms my heart to see kids growing up on leafy greens + fruit, like this delicious strawberry mango smoothie recipe.

Powerhouse Smoothie Ingredient
Did you know that strawberries actually have more vitamin C than oranges? It’s true! These sweet berries shine in this strawberry mango smoothie recipe, both in flavor and in nutrients. They can be used in any berry recipe as a substitute.
Strawberries are also low in sugar + high in fiber, which makes them a great smoothie addition for anyone who is watching their blood sugar levels. The fiber helps avoid a blood sugar rush, as well as keep your levels more stable. They are naturally sweet, so they are a great sweet treat in a smoothie, or straight off the stem.

The Best Tropical Fruit
Okay, I know that statement is very subjective, but I really, really LOVE mango. I could eat them all day long and never tire of them – blended in this strawberry mango smoothie as well as freshly peeled.
Mango is like the tropical version of a peach. It’s juicy + sweet and chock full of vitamin A and fiber. Make sure and stand over the sink while eating a fresh one, because you’ll have juice dripping down your chin. No shame here! Add some mango to your smoothie to instantly get an island vibe going.
I usually buy frozen mango in bulk from Trader Joes or Costco because it’s cheaper than my local grocery store.

Yum!!!!! I had this smoothie for new year breakfast and it was fantastic! Feeling really good !!! It was very tasty and I added hemp and chia seeds to it~ Now it is time for some yoga!
Not as good as the first one. Might need that banana. Im going to drink it.
That’s too bad you didn’t like it as much but that’s the beauty in trying different recipes, isn’t it?! You get to try new things and find out what you love and what you don’t. And, adding a banana to a smoothie you don’t really love the taste of is a great move and can turn a #smoothiefail into a save! 🙂
Loved the fruit combo! Strawberries are the key! Frozen ones are hit or miss. Especially here in Canada!
Not so pink in colour but yummy! Thanks for bringing in the tropics while we live in cold! ☃❄️. Feeling like Florida with Pink Flamingo in my belly! ⛱
Definitely a keeper-refreshing, sweet and healthy!! Love, love, love!!
Loved this! The strawberry and mango is a nice, refreshing combo. Even the kids liked it. I know it’ll be even better when there are fresh strawberries available.
I loved this smoothie. I liked the strawberries in it. Also it was a nice thickness and a very cold one with all the frozen fruit, it actually have me brain freeze a couple of times, lol.
Pretty good, but not as sweet as I’d hoped. Fresh strawberries are probably sweeter.
I substituted “Oh Kale Yeah”. I had some fresh pineapple in the house so this was the obvious choice! Absolutely loved it! Rawked the 30 Day Challenge! Thank you!
Pretty good. Not as sweet as I’d like but during strawberry season I bet it’s amazing! Definitely gonna have it again
Loved this one, very light and yummy!
Thanks Kathy!
It really is super delicious 🙂
The pink flamengo is a great way to end the 30 day green smoothie challenge!!
Hey Brittani,
We have to agree!! This smoothie is the perfect ending to our challenge. So happy that you joined us for this awesome challenge 🙂
Mangos make me think of vacation. This is a great time of year to be reminded of warm weather through a simple green smoothie! Yummy!!
Hey Tanya!
Yes this really does bring me to Hawaii laying on the beach sipping on my tropical smoothie. 🙂
Not a fan of this one. I think it is the strawberries. Although I love fresh strawberries I don’t seem to enjoy them in a smoothie. I wonder if it is b/c I use frozen ones for smoothies.
Hey Kelly,
I am sorry you were not a fan of this recipe! Sometimes with strawberries if they are not perfectly ripe they will not taste that great and you will need to add in some extra sweetener. Also frozen strawberries can not be as sweet sometimes too. If you run into that again feel free to add some extra all natural sweeteners to your smoothie like these:
Love the pink flamingo. I have to say that this 30-day challenge has really changed how I look at starting my day. All of the recipes have been amazing and I have been feeling amazing! This will definitely be something I can do everyday for myself and my husband:-) Thank you Jen!
