I often use bananas in my smoothies for sweetness, but lately, I’ve been craving something a little different, so I decided to try a sweet, crisp apple, and let me tell you, it was a game changer!
The apple pairs perfectly with tropical mango, creating a refreshing and flavorful blend, just like in my mango orange smoothie.
I added coconut milk for creaminess, chia seeds to bring a healthy dose of omega-3s, and a splash of lemon juice to brighten everything up.
This mango apple smoothie is not only cool and refreshing but also super quick to make, I whipped it up in just five minutes! It’s the perfect way to enjoy a healthy and delicious start to your day.

Ingredients
- Mango: I used frozen mango for a thick, cool texture, but fresh mango works great too—just add a few ice cubes.
- Apple: I recommend a sweet, crisp apple variety for natural sweetness and no sugar added.
- Chia seeds: Chia seeds thicken the smoothie and add protein and healthy fats.
- Plant-based milk: I used light coconut milk, but you can use your favorite, like creamy almond milk or oat milk.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a bright, zesty flavor.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
How To Make Mango Apple Smoothie
Step 1: Combine mango, apple, chia seeds, plant-based milk, and lemon juice in a high-powered blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Storage
This smoothie tastes best when it's fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed container. Just shake or stir it well before drinking.
Substitutions and Variations
- Apple swap: If you don't have apples, you can try pears or a ripe peach. These fruits offer similar sweetness and texture.
- Green boost: Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without changing the taste much.
- Protein-packed: Blend in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder for a filling smoothie.
- Chia alternative: Use ground flaxseeds instead of chia seeds for a similar nutrient boost.
Marinela's Tips
- Use frozen mango: It makes the smoothie thick and cool without needing ice. If using fresh mango, add a few ice cubes.
- Choose a sweet apple: A naturally sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji works best.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or agave.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Yes, mango and apple make a delicious combination! The sweet, tropical flavor of mango pairs perfectly with the crisp, juicy taste of apple for a refreshing and fruity blend.
Whether or not you peel apples before blending is totally up to you. I like to keep the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients, but if you prefer a smoother texture, go ahead and peel it—just make sure to wash it well first.
Sweet apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala are great for smoothies because they add natural sweetness and a smooth texture. If you prefer a tart flavor, try Granny Smith.
