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.
Was looking forward to this because I love strawberries. Was unfortunately disappointed. Not a lot of flavor to this one. Perhaps my frozen organic strawberries were too old???
Very delicious! I added peanut butter protein powder and it was yummy together.
I used 1/2 cup of strawberries and added cinnamon. Very tasty.
I substituted oat milk for the almond milk, it’s what I had open. Light and bright. I also liked that it was not too sweet.
Really nice tasting smoothie. I used coconut water instead of water. Great way to get more berries into your diet.
A little underwhelming. Neither the mango or strawberry shined through significantly. Not sweet enough for my preference. Would make again… with modifications.
Love the strawberry flavor of this delicious smoothie!
Creamy, dreamy delicious! I love strawberries and mangos!! Used frozen mango from Superstore and frozen strawberries that we picked from a local farm in the summer. I didn’t have any almond milk so used water and a tablespoon of my homemade almond butter. Also added hemp protein powder and chia seeds for an extra boost. Another amazing combo!
Good but needed something to make the flavor pop.
Thanks for the feedback, Wren!
I added a touch raw honey as I had no almond milk. I enjoyed the strawberry taste in this smoothie.
Great idea, Natalie!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Strawberry and mango is one of my favorite fruit combos. I liked this smoothie a lot, but I missed the mango flavor; I couldn’t taste it at all. I also used unsweetened oat milk instead of almond milk, because that’s what I had. It made the smoothie extra creamy, which I really enjoyed. I’ll make again and up the amount of mango to hopefully get that delicious flavor.
Oat milk is def one of my fav swaps to up that creamy factor in any smoothie. Great choice, Hope! Next time, opt for fresh mango instead of frozen if you’re able. That should bring out the mango flavors in a stronger way for ya. Happy blending!
Not the fan. I used organic strawberries, banana, and cauliflower.
I enjoy all 3 individually. But not in a smoothie. I even tried to add blueberries with the second half just didn’t enjoy
One of my favorites 🙂
I agree with some of the “not quite sweet enough” comments. I made a doubled batch and after tasting, I boosted the flavor by adding 1 cashew/coconut frozen cube, 2 dates, and then just a little honey. It was delicious – will keep it as a regular!!
Thanks!
Love that you went for such great add-ins Bev. Way to customize! 🙂
Day 2 – really liked the flavor – filling and helped curb my coffee intake
So awesome Caroline!
Strawberry and mango is one of my favourite fruit combinations! This time I put in cashew milk instead of almond, plus added some beet tops for extra greens.
