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.

Easy Swaps and Add-Ins
This recipe is fantastic as is, but here are some easy ways to mix it up and make it your own!
- Add protein powder: Give your strawberry mango smoothie a boost of protein with my Homemade Protein Powder recipe made with flax, hemp, and chia seeds.

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.
My strawberries were ultra tangy so I added a tsp of farm fresh honey to sweeten it a bit. Thoroughly enjoyed!!
Maybe it’s because I put some pea protein powder in, but it didn’t have much flavor and the consistency was really thick. Think I’ll avoid the “Make it a meal” option for this one in the future.
Loved this! The strawberries make it so delicious!
Yum! This turned out great!
It’s OK. Not my favorite. Way too thick…had to add more liquid.
Super tasty! Added protein powder to it and put it in a fun blender bottle for on the go!
not my favourite…hardly taste the strawberry.
And had to add water because much too thick!
I made this smoothie, I had to add more milk and it wasn’t green. At first it was really thick. Maybe the strawberry pieces we’re too big? Thanks
The Pink Flamingo is a favorite in our house. It is very smooth and creamy!
Smith and sweet. Added protein powder. Perfect before yoga class.
What kind of coconut water do you recommend.?I’ve never purchased it before .
I like Zico, Trader Joes and also Costco has their own brand. Most important is making sure there are not added sugars or “natural flavors.” If price isn’t an option, Harmless Harvest is the best of the best and found in the refrigerated section.
