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.

Day 2
Strawberry Mango Smoothie was super easy to make and pretty darn delisious. Although, it was not as pretty and sweet as Beginners Luck it went down nicely. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
This was a great smoothie — I really liked the strawberry flavor. A very satisfying smoothie and a great way to start my day!
THANKS FOR ALL THESE RECIPES. DAY ONE WENT WELL
THANKS AGAIN
Day Two! Pink Flamingo is not so pink but it is delicious. So far I have enjoyed both smoothies. I could taste the seeds from the strawberries and they reminded me a bit of sand but other than that I have no complaints. I’m gonna be sad if I run across one I don’t care for
Oh, and my husband who’s philosophy is “why would I eat the food my food eats” has actually drank both smoothies and admitted they aren’t so bad – now that’s news for 2020!!!
Day 2 smoothie not quite as sweet as yesterday’s smoothie but still satisfying and creamy.
I made this for the 2nd time today . I must have done something wrong the first time, because this time it ROCKED!!!
Yummy! Two of my all time fave fruits. Great to learn about all the nutrition content. I usually have my smoothie as a lunch replacement and today I added collagen peptide protein powder (not whey protein) but was hungry again 1-hour later. What other ingredient could I add to this blend to sustain me longer? I was afraid to add a banana as that could add more sugar.
Dora, did you add a healthy fat in addition to your protein powder? To turn a green smoothie into a meal replacement smoothie, you will want to add both a fat and a protein. Check out this post for more info–> Turn Your Green Smoothie Into a Meal!
Day two…..Pink Flamango
My 2nd green smoothie ever. I must say I prefer this one over yesterday’s.
Husband said, “it’s not green.” I substituted blackberries in for the strawberries, which I think made this smoothie more tart and less sweet. I used water instead of almond milk because I only had vanilla flavoured almond milk at home and thought that would be a strange mix. I also used more spinach and less mango. Hubby said it tasted more earthy, which could be from the blackberries and/or extra spinach. I added chia seeds and pea protein powder to my portion. I look forward to trying this one again, but with strawberries next time.
It was good and so easy!
I always change it to a meal replacement adding my Ideal Lean Protein Powder! & Chia Seeds
It was a bit bitter for some reason (maybe it was because of the mango?) I still like it as it is healthy
I enjoyed this smoothie-but I liked Day 1’s better. I did add Kale to this one which may have added the less than desirable taste. ( I did ‘massage’ the kale and added a bit of lemon juice ). Looking forward to tomorrow!!
It was a bit thicker than I enjoy but my family loved the taste and so did I!
The strawberries made it a bit too tart for my liking (maybe they weren’t sweet enough) but the smoothie still gets a pass since it’s super healthy!
This one was delicious! I added a little protein powder to make it a meal.
I added peppermint, which I think tastes great with both mango and strawberries. I also had this for a light lunch so I added chia and MCT oil, too.
Blended at home and took it to work, sipping as I’m typing. It’ still thick and creamy. Cold, too, since it’s been in the fridge.
