Every time I make this Tropical Mango Coconut Smoothie, I’m reminded of my trip to Hawaii where I first tasted the magic of fresh mangoes.
It’s such a simple recipe, but it always brings a smile to my face.
A little tip I discovered is to freeze your mango chunks ahead of time; it makes the smoothie extra creamy and refreshing, just like the ocean breeze!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh mangoes for their sweetness, but frozen mango works too! Coconut milk gives it that creamy texture, but feel free to swap in almond milk if you prefer. The spinach is a fantastic addition for extra nutrients, and you can't taste it at all!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep frozen fruit on hand for smoothies; it makes them super quick to whip up!
- •If you like a thicker smoothie, add more banana or use less coconut milk.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost after workouts.
- •You can swap the mango for pineapple or even papaya if you’re feeling adventurous!
Storage & Freezing
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before you drink it again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
I wouldn't recommend making it too far in advance, as it’s best enjoyed fresh. But you can prep the ingredients and store them in the fridge the night before!
