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.

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
