Also known affectionately as โPink Flamango,โ this strawberry mango smoothie is a healthier take on the classic combo thanks to a handful of spinach and no yogurt (which youโll 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, heโs 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? Itโs 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 โ 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. Itโs juicy + sweet and chock full of vitamin A and fiber. Make sure and stand over the sink while eating a fresh one, because youโll have juice dripping down your chin. No shame here! Add some mango to your smoothie to instantly get an island vibe going.
Ingredients Youโll 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 farmersโ 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 itโ 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 itโs cheaper than my local grocery store.
How to Make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie
This strawberry mango smoothie is bursting with flavor and nutrientsโand itโs so easy to make! Just follow these three simple steps:

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. Mangoโs 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 blendโpure 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 mangoโs 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 ยฝ 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.

Hmmm? Well, it was good but for me not great โฆ didnโt have a sweetness to it like yesterdays BEGINNERS LUCK. I used Frozen Organic Strawberries (from Albertsons) & Frozen Mangos (from WalMart). Iโm wondering if the Strawberries just donโt 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. Iโve 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 โ Such great questions! Fruit can lose flavor if itโs 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 โ 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 thatโs 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 thatโs a good thing as Iโm 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 wasnโt 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 โ 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 lackingโฆ 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 youโre looking for.
Donโt 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.
Iโm 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 โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ rating on this Strawberry Mango Smoothie. And that only because itโs 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 wouldnโt 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. ๐
