I love a good go-to smoothie recipe, but rotating your ingredients is one of the easiest ways to boost nutrition and keep things exciting. This strawberry mango smoothie is a perfect example of how a simple switch (like a handful of spinach) can expand your flavor palette while still keeping things quick, nourishing, and delicious.

Why You’ll Love It
- Strawberries are packed with more vitamin C than oranges (yup!), plus fiber and natural sweetness. They’re low in sugar, help keep blood sugar steady, and swap easily into any berry smoothie.
- Mango is sweet, juicy, and totally tropical. Rich in vitamin A and fiber, mango adds a creamy texture and instant island vibes to any smoothie.
- This smoothie tastes bright, creamy, and lightly tropical. The almond milk keeps it mellow and creamy, and the spinach blends right in—no “green” taste at all.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh spinach: Mild and nutrient-packed; look for bright green leaves at your local grocery store or farmers’ market.
- Unsweetened almond milk: Light and creamy with a subtle nutty flavor; opt for homemade almond milk to keep the ingredients minimal. Not gonna do it— I get it. Check out my guide on the best almond milk brands to buy. There are some great ones you can buy!
- Frozen strawberries: Sweet and slightly tart; buy pre-frozen for convenience or freeze fresh berries for peak flavor.
- Frozen mango: This fruit is naturally sweet and tropical. I usually buy frozen mango in bulk from Trader Joes or Costco because it’s cheaper than my local grocery store.

While bananas and pineapple are among the tropical fruits that pair well with mango and strawberry, the combination of mango and strawberry is truly superior. Mango’s natural sweetness and creamy texture create a thick, luscious smoothie, while strawberries add a refreshing, slightly tart contrast. Together, they make a perfectly balanced, flavorful blend—pure smoothie bliss!
Mango pairs well with many fruits, creating a balanced and flavorful blend. Strawberries add a refreshing tartness, while pineapple enhances its tropical sweetness. Bananas provide creaminess, peaches add a juicy mellow flavor, and oranges bring a citrusy kick. Coconut is another great pairing, complementing mango’s tropical notes. Whether you want sweet, creamy, or refreshing, mango is a versatile fruit that blends beautifully.
A strawberry mango smoothie made with 1 cup fresh spinach, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup frozen strawberries, and ½ cup frozen mango contains approximately 137 calories per serving. This smoothie is naturally low in fat, with 4g of protein, 26g of carbohydrates, and 6g of fiber, making it a nutrient-dense and refreshing option. Adding a serving of homemade protein powder will slightly increase the calorie count while boosting protein content.
Delicious
Even though this smoothie is not among my favourite recipes from the challenges and/or the book, I made it anyway to benefit from all the goodness it contains. Next time I’ll try to remember to add in a few cherries to amp up the flavour.
Wasn’t really prepared to make this smoothie. Dressed and out of the door at 5:50 am to get ingredients from grocery store. I didn’t get upset when I arrived at the grocery store and there were no fresh strawberries, or blueberries. (This happens to me almost every time when I need something specific for a recipe I want to try.) There was someone stocking produce so I asked if they had any in the back. Yes! They did and everything was on sale! I got everything home and blended enough for three servings, two for me and one for hubby to have when he decided get up? I enjoyed this mixture so much…this is only day two, but I believe I’m hooked.
Way to persevere!!! So glad you got the ingredients you needed and you loved it!
I think this would be better with some fresh strawberries, as my frozen ones weren’t very flavorful so I didn’t taste the strawberry much.
So yummy. Just the right amount of sweet. I added a bit more almond milk than called for to thin it out. But still super thick. Love it.
I made mine a complete meal with almond butter and coconut oil. Yum!
I found this smoothie too bland. I think another fruit with a stronger flavor may have boosted it for me.
Delicious! Loved it! It was a bit thick so added an extra splash of almond milk. Great breakfast meal with added chia seeds.
I think I would have liked this recipe better if I used fresh instead of frozen strawberries. Still good, just not as sweet as I would like.
Loved it! Tasted great and chocked full of Vitamin C.
Delicious! I love fruit smoothies for breakfast and I’m always willing to try new recipes. This one is light, yet creamy and great fruit flavor.
Yum..
Delicious!
Great recipe, but I found I had to add more liquid to my frozen fruits since the mixture seized in my blender. The flavor is great and the strawberry really shined through in this smoothie. Would make again, but add more liquid.
This smoothie is so delicious. It had a great taste of strawberry. I’m surprised at how well the greens are hidden in here. I did have to add some more liquid to make it drinkable. I think my blender is too strong in that respect
Really tasty! Loaded with Vitamin C. Great way to start the day.
This is SO good!
