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.

Yum.
Hmmm? Well, it was good but for me not great … didn’t have a sweetness to it like yesterdays BEGINNERS LUCK. I used Frozen Organic Strawberries (from Albertsons) & Frozen Mangos (from WalMart). I’m wondering if the Strawberries just don’t have flavor 0r maybe pineapples from yesterdays smoothie are just sweeter in general? I am a NEWBIE with VitaMix & Smoothies so trying to figure it all out. I’ve had my VitaMix a couple of months now & have been experimenting but have found I definitely need guidance. I have read that with VitaMix I should be able to put all ingredients, at least with todays STRAWBERRY MANGO BOOST recipe, in at one time & then Mix. My VitaMix stops (motor runs but blades are not turning products. Other times I hear a pulsing motor sound? Is all this normal?
Hi Dawn – Such great questions! Fruit can lose flavor if it’s been in the freezer for a super long time. Next time you could try adding additional strawberry or swap out the frozen for fresh. And you are right – Vitamix is a powerhouse that can handle anything you throw at it! The pulsing sound can be normal, yet if the blades are spinning and not moving your ingredients that’s a signal you need to add more liquid. Despite the awesomeness of Vitamix, we still recommend blending your liquid and greens first, then adding your other ingredients to finish blending.
i didnt add anything extra, just used oatmilk instead of almond milk. this tasted really good, i really liked it. the only problem was it turned a really unappetizing color. great recipe
A little less sweet, but that’s a good thing as I’m trying to cut back on sugar, nice and creamy too,
I subbed blueberries for strawberries because I needed to use them up. The first sip was a bit off-putting (I think the frozen mango I got wasn’t ripe when it was frozen) but it got better as I drank it.
This was my first smoothie with almond milk! It was a nice change – I ended up using unsweetened almond with coconut milk. The lower stars simply reflect the more brownish colour and enjoyed it a little less than all the other excellent recipes!
Found the strawberry flavor really lacking… probably from using frozen. Will try again with fresh strawberries sometime?
Fresh strawberries would be a great idea, Lesley! Over a super long time in the freezer, fruit can lose flavor. So fresh would help get that stronger strawberry flavor you’re looking for.
Don’t usually like almond milk in my smoothies but this seems to give it a creamy taste. Tasty and not too sweet.
Always delivers on taste. Color is not as appealing lol.
I made this with my first try at homemade almond milk. Yummy! One of my favourite smoothies!
Came out brown in color but was delish. Not too sweet. I added lime zest and a few sprouted sunflower seeds.
I’m not typically an almond milk fan -but, found this refreshing! Almost did my automatic sub for coconut milk and glad I followed the recipe!
I can only give a ⭐️⭐️ rating on this Strawberry Mango Smoothie. And that only because it’s a green smoothie and healthy! I even tried to help boost some flavor by adding almond butter! No go! Will not blend this recipe again!
Not my favorite one but still tasty. Probably wouldn’t make this one on my own, but I am happy I tried it!
This is a yummy one. Mango and strawberry are some of my very favorites. The nut milk gives it a creamier taste that my family likes.
All it the smoothies are awesome. I love having one every morning, I add chia seeds to one every day for calcium
Tastes great, but my color was more of a brown than a green. 🙁
