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.
It was ok. It was thick and didn’t taste as fresh, probably due to the frozen fruit. Will try again when strawberries are in season! And with a boost!
Creamy, slightly sweet and simply delightful.
This was great – felt like a sweet treat. I’m new to almond milk and enjoyed it in this smoothie. Used fresh strawberries and frozen mango.
This smoothie was okay. I think I will try it with coconut milk or coconut water instead of almond milk.
This strawberry-mango smoothie is refreshing. It has a tangy yogurt-like flavor. If I hadn’t made it myself, I may have bet there was plain yogurt in it. I like that it’s packed full of vitamin C.
This is a pretty tasty smoothy, but I found it a little too tart for my liking.
I made this according to the recipe. It was a bit tart.
I m on day two of the 10-day smoothie challenge. This smoothie I made as listed. I did not like it as well and rate it 4 I believe if Strawberries were in the season with fresh strawberries it would be so much better and would be 5 out of 5 stars.
Added an extra handful of spinach and used frozen strawberries and mango. Will definitely make again!
I did not have almond milk on hand so blended this with coconut water instead. It was refreshing, delicious and because I added protein to my blend the perfect post workout/ride recovery drink. Delicious.
Tasty but not my fave. I had to make a couple of adjustments to the recipe. Used flax milk because my husband is doing the 10 day challenge with me and he’s allergic to almonds. And I didn’t have quite enough strawberries so I added a few raspberries. I’m not a big fan of strawberries anyway. Still a good smoothie.
Love strawberries and mangos, but have never tried this combo before. Yummy!
Blaah! I blended recipe exactly as given. Tolerable, but nothing to rave about. I had to amend after my first taste and add some greek yogurt to fill it out some. It was all right , but definitely not my favorite.
It’s good. I think I prefer smoothies made with the coconut water but need to mix it up sometimes . I would drink it again. I accidentally added too much mango – usually I’m not a fan of strawberry smoothies but this worked .
Pretty good smoothie. Nothing exceptional, but enjoyable none the less. It is simple, so very easy to make on a whim.
The combination of red and green to make brown makes this a little off putting. I froze my pack and did not give the fruit enough time to thaw so I added a lot of water so my blender wouldn’t struggle, this may have diluted the taste far too much. I am not a huge fan of strawberries either. So many things about this for me not to like.
