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.
Smoothie was good, however I think I would’ve liked it better without the almond milk. I think I’m going to stick with just water
Another enjoyable smoothie! This one was lightly sweet and refreshing, I enjoyed the mango and strawberries together, something new for me. I will definitely make again! While I used fresh frozen fruit, I blended for a while in my Vitamix to help it be less thick, which worked great.
I have similar comments to another post, too thick, using frozen fruit.
Very thick because I used only frozen fruit. I added some water to make it a little thinner. Not as sweet as the other smoothie, but it was still good.
I am having so much fun with the recipes. I just love them. Its uncanny how all those vegies an fruit mix together can taste so good. Plus they keep me full for quite awhile. Just Awesome!!
It’s not my cup of tea. I like strawberry with banana or other berries but I didn’t enjoy the combo of strawberry and mango.
I Made this with glow protein powder and chia seeds to make it a meal replacement.
So delicious!
Good, but I think it would taste delicious when strawberries are in season.
This smoothie surprised me. I normally don’t like strawberries in my drinks because they are too sweet for me. However, the mango and spinach really smoothed them out for me. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk, which added a bit more of that “island” taste to it. I will definitely be coming back to this recipe after the challenge.
Oh, and I always clean my machine this way. I don’t have a dishwasher, so letting the Vitamix clean itself is the only way I can be sure it is fully clean.
Also, a note about yesterday’s smoothie: I took my leftovers with me this morning and it was still delicious even drinking it warm.
I am using up my frozen fruit stash. Today I used peaches and raspberries with spinach, avocado, almond milk and coconut milk. I doubled the recipe and made smoothie cubes. Tasted awesome.
Love love love strawberries! This will be a fave.
Better if you use fresh fruit. Frozen fruit made it too thick but tasted great. I added chia seeds and coconut oil for a meal replacement.
I didn’t care for the Pink Flamingo. It had to add more almond milk to complete my smoothie. It was a little thick and not green as pictured.
Pink Flamingo is another all-star recipe. It’s yummy and so easy to blend up the pre-prepped package and run out the door in the morning.
Didn’t care for the texture so I added a banana. Next time I’ll try 1/2 avocado. Doubled the recipe. There was none left over
