This Mango Orange Smoothie (no banana needed) is a quick, easy, refreshing tropical drink—perfect for breakfast or a post-workout treat.

You know I drink smoothies every single day and trust me, this mango orange smoothie is one of those blends that instantly brightens my mood.
Mango is hands down my favorite tropical fruit (right up there with pineapple), and I love using it in everything from my mango chocolate shake to my avocado mango smoothie and even a mango spinach smoothie when I’m feeling extra green.
This one? Thick, creamy, ice-cold, and refreshingly sweet, with a bright sunny color that practically screams plant-based goodness—all made with natural, wholesome ingredients and no dairy in sight!

Ingredients
- Mango: Frozen mango chunks are ideal for a thick, chilled texture, but fresh works too – just add a few ice cubes.
- Orange: We’ll be using a whole orange, not just the juice, to get all the fiber and nutrients—choose a fresh, juicy one for the best flavor.
- Carrot: It adds a touch of sweetness and gives this smoothie a beautiful, vibrant color.
- Turmeric: Brings a lightly spiced flavor and a gorgeous golden hue.
- Plant-based milk: I used light coconut milk for a creamy tropical taste, but almond, oat, or your favorite plant milk works just as well.
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.

Substitutions
- Protein boost: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder or a spoonful of hemp seeds for extra protein.

Marinela's Tips
- Use ripe, sweet mango for the best flavor—it’s ideal to use frozen mango for a thick, creamy texture.
- Freeze your own mango if store-bought frozen isn’t available. I always buy fresh mangoes (especially when they’re on sale), chop them up, and store them in a freezer-friendly bag so I have them ready whenever I need them.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more plant-based milk if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
