Whip up the easiest four ingredient Mango Spinach Smoothie for breakfast or snack. Like my Ginger Orange Matcha Green Smoothie, this recipe is filling, refreshing and full of flavor. Add a few optional extras to make this a next level mango green smoothie! This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.

A Simple Green Smoothie

Easy. Simple. Delicious. Refreshing. 

Green smoothies are on repeat in our home, year round. But I especially get excited for summertime smoothies simply because there’s so much variety in seasonal fruit to choose from. 

Most of the time I keep it simple. Greens, fruit and fat… and of course water. But other times, I like to add in a few bold flavor builders like ginger and/or mint to keep things interesting. Sometimes I have extra ginger on hand from making curry or the garden is especially full of mint!

Use A High Speed Blender

A high speed blender is a must for the creamiest green smoothies. I’ve been using VitaMix for over 12 years (the same one!). It’s a workhorse in my kitchen. From soups, to waffles, sauces and nut milk, it’s the most used electric in my kitchen, outside of the refrigerator!

It pulverizes ingredients for smoothies to make them the creamiest, easiest breakfast out there. Making them a part of my daily routine helps ensure I’m meeting my daily goals for greens. And with a smoothie, it’s not hard to do. 

Quick Guide: How to Make a Mango Spinach Smoothie

The only trick to blending a green smoothie is making sure the ingredients are layered in so that the blade has freedom to move and doesn’t get hung up on frozen fruit.  Here’s how to do it (see recipe card for details):

  • First, in the pitcher of a high speed blender, layer in the following order: spinach, mango, frozen banana and hemp hearts. Pour in the water and add any extras like ginger or mint. 
  • Last, blend all the ingredients until smooth. 

Mango banana spinach smoothie is best enjoyed right away as green smoothies begin to oxidize and lose flavor as they set. If storing for later, give the smoothie a squeeze of lemon or lime, then store in the fridge in a lidded glass Mason jar. Consume within 24 hours.

A Few Recipe Tips

  • A high speed blender is a must for the creamiest green smoothies. I’ve been using VitaMix for over 12 years (the same one!). I love it for green smoothies and so many other things. 
  • Plan Ahead: Keep a bag of frozen bananas in the freezer for smoothie making. They’re always ready when you are! Too, check with the produce department for old, spotty brown bananas. Sometimes they’ll offer them at a discount. Be sure to freeze em’ when you get home!
  • Cutting a Mango:  This video on YouTube shows several mango cutting techniques so we can get to the good stuff! 
  • Add Ins: A piece of fresh ginger and/or fresh mint are lovely in this green smoothie. Ginger is considered loud, so add more or less to taste. 
  • Substitutions in this Mango Green Smoothie: 
    • Swiss Chard or Romaine for Spinach
    • Nut Milk for Water and Hemp Hearts

    Made this today for a friend who needs to build up her iron post surgery so wanted to avoid dairy which impedes iron absorption. She loved it! What a delicious way to supplement iron!!! I didn’t have hemp hearts to hand so subbed 1/4 cup raw cashews and that worked perfectly. Will be making this/variants of it regularly. Thanks for another amazing recipe Traci

      Hi Joanna! Thank you for your note and giving this tasty smoothie a go! So happy you and your friend enjoyed it. Cashews are a perfect sub for hemp hearts. Sending my best for a speedy recovery! It is so kind of you to do this for your friend :)

    Can something else be substituted for hemp hearts? (pine nuts? pumpkin seeds? sunflower seeds?…) Pilots need to avoid hemp. Thanks.

      Feel free to sub any seed of your choosing! You’ll need to soak them first, overnight. Hemp hearts are already soft so they don’t need to soak. I hope this helps!

    This looks delicious, Traci – just the inspiration that I need to get back into my smoothie routine! Love that it only has a few ingredients – and yes to a little spicy ginger! I may throw in a little frozen pineapple too!

      Frozen pineapple sounds soooo good! That’s what I love about smoothies… there’s so many ways you can customize it. It’s time for more green smoothies Geraldine!
