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.
Not a bad smoothie but I think I would rather use coconut water instead of almond milk. I will definitely be making it again.
Best way to enjoy my fruits and veggies
I tried this with coconut milk and it was a little thick for me. I will stick to the recipe (or use water) next time.
I used water instead of almond milk. Not as sweet as day 1, but it has a pleasant strawberry taste.
Enjoyed it to the last drop! I’m curious where the vitamin d comes from, the mango?
Sheri, I believe the vitamin D comes from the almond milk.
Enjoyed this smoothie but not as much as Beginner’s Luck. It became quite thick. Added water, and it was good to go.
One of my favorites! but I always have to add more milk, because it is so thick.
Refreshing and delicious.
Loved the smoothie!
I’ve only come up with my own concoctions before I signed up for the 10 day challenge. I never knew how good a smoothie could taste. Just knew I didn’t like mango but this challenge is proving me wrong. Exited about the challenge looking forward to a healthier lifestyle!
This is yummy, like yesterday’s. I find that when the recipe calls for almond milk versus water, it’s too thick and I have to add a bit of water so it’ll blend. I have a Vitamix so I don’t think that’s the issue. And really it’s not a big deal just interesting.
This smoothie was not as sweet as the day 1 smoothie. I made it more of a meal replacement by adding 2 tbsp hemp seed and 1 tsp of MCT Coconut oil. I probably should have added protein powder because it was still not filling enough, and I didn’t want to add more hemp seed since it was already high in fat. A couple drops of stevia or a date could give it a little more sweetness. I think it might be better with 1/2 cup strawberries and 1/2 cup of cherries or blueberries.
I made this smoothie this morning. It was very good, had to modify a bit because the store did not have a good size bag of frozen strawberries, so I got mixed berries.
Day2…. made this smoothie it was great. I used coconut milk instead of almond. The coconut flavor comes through and it made the smoothie creamy. Next time I will add some ice to chill the drink and some water to thin out the drink.
Will make again.
Another great flavor. I don’t care for mango and the substitution guide said you can use peaches, so I did. Even though they were nice and sweet, I prefer the day 1 smoothie over this one. I love the idea of getting all these nutrients in and trying new combinations and experimenting. Thanks!!
This smoothie was good but not a go-to for me. I did add dome Hemp hearts and Chia to it for extra benefits but it needed something else for the flavour!
