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.

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.
Another yummy smoothie!
This one is not one of my favorites. I’m not sure if it’s the almond milk or my sweet tooth but I definitely feel like it needs some sugar! Maybe I’ll try it again with just plain water or coconut water.
I add 1/8 cup of chopped dates to sweeten the drink. I like the flavor!
Drinking this as I watch The Canadian World Junior team beat Slovakia to move on to the semi-finals. Not my favourite smoothie but still fresh tasting and making me feel healthier just by drinking it!!
Modified with OJ instead and my kids loved it!
I don’t have any mangos yes so I can’t say how this is with them. But I did use everything else. Of course I power it up with mu own boosts as well. Quite tasty. I am making these for my husband as well and enjoys them.
This one was a little more difficult for me to blend, but I just added some more almond milk and we were back in business! Not an overwhelming flavor of any one ingredient, so overall a good blend!
This was delicious! I will definitely make it again. I think I will try it with coconut milk though, because I just prefer that over almond milk!
I really thought this was going to be tart with no banana and my unsweetened cashew milk but it was fabulous! I love only consuming whole fruits and vegetables without adding protein powders!
Thank you for the great recipes!
The colour isn’t the nicest but I was pleasantly surprised at the lightness of the flavour. I loudly make again.
This smoothie makes us enjoy the taste of strawberries with a green touch and a fresh and not-too-sweet flavour. Very good!
I tend to make water my go to liquid base and always forget how awesome almond milk is (especially with strawberries) this was a perfect yummy one to start off my birthday !
Jen, my fellow Capricorn! Hope you had a great birthday. 🙂
Can’t give 5 stars because I swapped ingredients. I only had kale on hand so it’s a little bit stronger than spinach. I also had to substitute out mixed berries for strawberries because I didn’t have them. So in essence mine is the purple flamingo. I actually added my plant-based vanilla protein to make this a meal replacement shake and that helped boost the flavor a little bit. I will try it again when I have the proper ingredients.
Love that this is not too sweet . I used oat milk because I don’t really like almond milk.
This one got 4 stars, only because the color is a little off putting. Close your eyes and it goes to 5 stars. It’s delicious and so healthy.
Looking forward to the 30 day challenge and trying the carrot & banana version of this one.
Day#2…. I like flavor… I read ingredients wrong and didn’t use enough strawberries but flavor good!
