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.

I started my day off with this bad boy and LOVED it!! It’s the perfect combination of sweet and tart (my strawberries were a little less on the sweet side lol). I’m loving the creaminess of these smoothies. Only 2 days into the 10-day challenge but I’ve always put my greens in the blender last, on top of everything else. What a difference making them this way!! Is it bad to have another one of these after my workout in the afternoon? 😉
Day 2 Smoothie, yummy and healthy! Entire family enjoyed it despite the green color 🙂
Simply delicious! Easy peasy 4 ingredients….love it 🙂
The Pink Flamingo -though refreshing- is not my favorite. But, used it as a meal replacement a few hours ago, adding plant based protein powder and water after I drank the first 5oz… and took it on the go commuting to school. Thank you for the recipe 🙂 *My little one snubbed his nose at it (but, he loved the first two (beginner smoothie and yesterday’s)!
Super thick. Just ok. I’m guessing I used too many whole frozen strawberries. I had to add a splash of water to get it to a drinkable consistency. To me the almond milk is meh.
Frozen strawberries took a little longer to blend, and I thought it might be too cold because it is chilly outside! But is turned out perfect and yummy. Love the strawberry flavor, Day two yahoo!! 🙂
This smoothie was alright in taste. It wasn’t overly sweet, which was nice. Overall, this smoothie was tasty and easy to make.
Great smoothie! I added a boost of hemp protein powder too. I’m amazed at how much energy I have!
Who knew mangos would be the key to delicious smoothies w/o a banana. This is a definite winner in my book!
At first taste it wasnt my favorite but it kind of grew on me the more I drank it
Day2 Smoothie – This one is alright. Not very sweet, which is ok for me, but I would probably like it better with just water rather than the almond milk. Took this one on the go with me to work.
Not very sweet. Not my favorite. I had frozen fruit, I wonder if I could have controlled the sweetness with fresh perhaps overripe fruit.
I forgot to rate it. Oh and it’s 11:04 am here.
I loved the smoothie. Mine wasn’t pink at all. Ok it had pink dots in it. I used whole almonds soaked overnight instead of almond milk.
I really liked the taste of the pink flamingo. Though the smoothie was not pink. Without the spinach it would be. I added in fresh mint and chia seeds. It was really fresh tasting with the mint.
Easy to make and delicious
