This Strawberry Mango Smoothie is a delicious way to sneak more nutrients into your day. It’s particularly great for picky kids, because it tastes like a frosty slushy. (Almost like sorbet!)
This smoothie is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The antioxidants compounds found in mango have been shown to help protect against certain cancers, including leukemia, colon, breast, and prostate cancer.

This smoothie also provides more than 100% of your vitamin C needs for the day, as one cup of strawberries has a full dose on its own. Paired with avocados, which add creaminess and a source of healthy fat, this shake will leave you feeling satisfied and totally nourished. No yogurt or other dairy needed!
I like to add half of a frozen banana for plenty of sweetness and added creaminess, but feel free to play around with this recipe and make it your own. You can swap the strawberries for blueberries, if you prefer, and if you want a lower sugar shake, try using frozen cauliflower instead of the banana. You might be amazed by how much you can’t taste it!

Recipe Notes:
- If you want a lower sugar smoothie, swap one of the fruits for frozen cauliflower instead. (You can’t taste the cauliflower!)
- For more nutrition, add a large handful of fresh spinach. (But keep in mind that this will change the color of the smoothie.)
If you have leftover smoothie, I like to freeze the extra in these mini ice pop molds for a frozen treat later. They’re great for babies and toddlers!

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite smoothie combination?
I love this! Using frozen fruits especially bananas makes smoothies so creamy, my fave!!!
Quite honestly, I had no idea mango’s were so good for you. I have no idea why I “get all weird” about buying them in the grocery store because they would be perfect in this smoothie!
I feel intimidated by the fresh ones, because I feel like they’re tricky to cut properly! I feel like I always waste some of the yummy insides, so I buy frozen more often than not just so that the work is done for me. 😉
Can you use water instead of orange juice for a less acidic option?
I betting part coconut water mixed with it would be good then it has extra electrolytes
It looks amazing.
Yum! This is an awesome smoothie recipe, Megan! Can I use lemon juice instead of orange juice?
I would use a LOT less lemon juice, since it’s so tart, but I’m sure that would be tasty.
We made this recipe for breakfast and everyone in my family loved it! the flavor and color were great. my picky eater kids are warming up to the idea of low sugar smoothies so thanksss! #detoxinistachallenge
Can not wait to get started on some of these
I really liked this smoothie! It has that smoothness because of the avocado. And I put in the cauliflower instead of the banana. I want to get used to low sugar smoothies! My 1st time putting in avocado & cauliflower in a smoothie…. What a wonderful recipe & so healthy! I put in some flax seeds as well…. Thanks so much Megan!
What brand orange juice did you use?
I buy the cold-pressed (unpasteurized) juice from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
I am on a health kick trying to incorporate healthier choices as far as what I eat and drink.I decided to start having a smoothie at night that would be good for me and keep me from eating before bed. I was very excited to run across this smoothie recipe and couldn’t wait until I arrived home from work. Very easy to make and taste absolutely amazing.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for letting me know.
