Also known affectionately as “Pink Flamango,” this strawberry mango smoothie is a healthier take on the classic combo thanks to a handful of spinach and no yogurt (which you’ll find in a lot of other recipes out there). It was originally created by my very first Simple Green Smoothies team member, Dan Mottayaw, about 8 years ago. 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.

Why This Recipe Rawks

  • Strawberries are amazing: Did you know that strawberries actually have more vitamin C than oranges? It’s true! These sweet berries shine in this mango fruit smoothie recipe, both in flavor and in nutrients. They can be used in any berry recipe as a substitute.
  • Health Benefits of Strawberries: 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.
  • Mango is 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.
  • Health benefits of mangos: A 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.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here are my easy strawberry mango smoothie ingredients:

  • 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.

How to Make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie

This strawberry mango smoothie is bursting with flavor and nutrients—and it’s so easy to make! Just follow these three simple steps:

  1. Blend fresh spinach with unsweetened almond milk until completely smooth. This ensures a silky texture without leafy bits.
  2. Add the frozen strawberries and mango, then blend again until creamy and well combined.
  3. Enjoy immediately for a refreshing and nutrient-packed smoothie!

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.
  • Swap spinach: Use your favorite leafy greens instead of spinach. Some of my favorite options to use are kale or chard.
  • Swap almond milk: Substitute almond milk with a dairy-free milk of your choosing.

Common Questions

Do strawberry and mango go together in a smoothie?

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!

What fruit blends well with mango?

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.

How many calories in a strawberry mango smoothie?

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!

  2. 4 stars
    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.

  3. 3 stars
    This smoothie was okay. I think I will try it with coconut milk or coconut water instead of almond milk.

  4. 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.

  5. 3 stars
    This is a pretty tasty smoothy, but I found it a little too tart for my liking.

    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.

  7. 5 stars
    Added an extra handful of spinach and used frozen strawberries and mango. Will definitely make again!

  8. 5 stars
    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.

  9. 3 stars
    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.

    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.

  11. 3 stars
    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 .

  12. 4 stars
    Pretty good smoothie. Nothing exceptional, but enjoyable none the less. It is simple, so very easy to make on a whim.

  13. 1 star
    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.
