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.
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
