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:
- Blend fresh spinach with unsweetened almond milk until completely smooth. This ensures a silky texture without leafy bits.
- Add the frozen strawberries and mango, then blend again until creamy and well combined.
- 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
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.

Mine was a little tart but it was still yummy.
Today’s smoothie was a real winner for me. It had a great taste and texture and the sweetness of the strawberries and the creamy almond milk made it rich and delicious. I am a huge fan of mangoes in my smoothies and I added a bit of avocado for a extra creamy kick & some good fats. Great recipe!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This smoothie was good. I added a packet of stevia for a little more sweetness. So far day one has been my favorite.
Another good way to start the day!
The pink Flamango didn’t thrill me. Not sure why. I love green smoothies. It could have been because I used unsweetened Almond/coconut milk??? I drank it, but I don’t think I’ll make it again. I am also using Kale instead of spinach since spinach is high in histamines and I’m avoiding allergies. Maybe that made the difference. Onward and forward to the next one.
This was good, not as good as day 1
A lighter smoothie that tastes superb. I love that the recipes packs a punch with the ingredients and is so flavorful.
Swapped out mango for peaches on two of ours. I think coconut water may have given this a tropical punch needed. It was ok.
Another great smoothie from you!
Delicious!
Another great smoothie. I love how it’s not too sweet and tastes great. I don’t like anything too sweet so for me this was perfect. I bet it would taste even better with fresh local strawberries.
I love the green smoothie. I have the
book and have had many of the smoothies.
However I need the challenge to get
back on track of my goal.
I enjoyed this smoothie. It will be a nice summer smoothie when the strawberries are fresh. I find it easier to just chuck in 1/4 cup of almonds and a cup of water rather than bothering with the almond milk. I always have almonds on hand, and that’s part of the recipe for making almond milk. I just skip the straining step and enjoy blending it directly into my smoothie. I did add half an avocado to turn it into a meal.
Delicious!!
Not sure if its because of the plague that I’m currently dealing with, but this really was bland. I love mangos and strawberries, so I was a little disappointed. I will come back and try it again once I’m feeling better.
It was good but I prefer my smoothie flavor to have more wow factor.
I liked this smoothie, but so far day 1 is my favorite. Also my strawberries weren’t as ripe as they should have been. I bought the ripest ones they had though. I’m also not use to Almond milk so it wasn’t a flavor I am accustomed to. I will make it again though. I think I’ll try adding different things to give it more flavor.
