Ingredient notes

ingredients for how to make a mango smoothie
  • Mango - we recommend using frozen mango chunks for a nice chilled smoothie. Not to mention, they make things even easier - no peeling required
  • Chia seeds - you can use white or black chia seeds; or a mix as we have used here. Chia seeds add some healthy fats, fibre, and protein to this smoothie. You can usually find them in the natural foods section of your grocery store!
  • Liquid - you can use water, coconut water, almond milk or dairy milk - your choice! Mango adds natural sweetness to this smoothie, so we prefer to use unsweetened almond milk.

FAQ

Is this mango smoothie sweet?

Mango is naturally quite sweet, so for this recipe, there is no need to add any sweetener.

Can I make it with spinach?

YES! You can add quite a bit of green to this recipe without tasting them. I like to blend my greens with the liquid before adding the rest of the ingredients because that way they get completely blended smooth. See this green mango superfood smoothie recipe for more green smoothie ideas.

If you find you can still taste the greens after blending, try adding a ¼ teaspoon of almond extract. I find this really helps to mask the flavor! ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon can help, too.

Variations

Want to boost the nutrients in this healthy mango smoothie? Try adding:

  • 1 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoons ground flax
  • ¼ of an avocado (I promise you can't taste it!)
  • 1 tablespoons goji berries
  • 1 tablespoons coconut oil
  • add ¾ cup packed spinach or ½ cup packed kale

Want to turn this mango smoothie recipe into a meal? Try adding one of the following:

  • ¼ cup oatmeal
  • ½ scoop protein power
  • 3 oz silken tofu

Meal Prep Smoothie Packs

smoothie packs assembled in jars for healthy breakfast smoothies

To prepare your smoothie packs or smoothie jars

  1. place frozen fruit in the bottom of the jar
  2. place add-ins on top of fruit. Extracts, flax, chia seeds, spices etc are all totally fine to add in!
  3. top the jars with any greens, then seal with the jar lids
  4. these jars will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer!

Note - to avoid any issues getting fruit out of jars: always use frozen fruit, and don't allow the fruit to thaw while preparing them. Smoothie packs may appear frosted or freezer-burnt but you won't taste any different.

To blend

  1. dump all ingredients out of the jar into the blender. It's ok if some fruit gets stuck in the jar.
  2. add the almond milk (or coconut water as indicated) to the jar, put the lid on and give it a good shake, then dump it into the blender. This helps get anything left in the jar out.
  3. blend away, then pour the smoothie back into your jar and enjoy!

      Hi Karey! I think most protein powder scoops are 1/2 cup, so I'm guessing 1/4 cup? Hope you enjoy 🙂
