How to Make a Mango Avocado Smoothie
- This smoothie couldn’t be easier to make! It starts with frozen mango chunks. I love using frozen mango chunks because they are so convenient! Much easier than waiting for a fresh mango to get perfectly ripe, then peeling and dicing it.
- Next you add banana, ripe avocado and ice. If you prefer not to use banana, frozen pineapple works great here. If you use frozen pineapple or frozen banana you can add less ice. Also be sure not to add too much avocado. 1/4 an avocado per serving seems to be the perfect amount!
- For the liquid, I like to use a combination pineapple juice and almond milk or coconut milk. Orange juice is also a delicious addition! You can adjust the ratios to your liking based on how creamy/sweet you think the perfect smoothie should be.
- Blend until smooth. Easy as can be!
Tip: Frozen fruit is the best way to make thick smoothies. If you use fresh fruit, the ice helps make this smoothie thick and cold.
Addition Ideas
You can add in some superfood ingredients to take this smoothie to the next level such as:
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
- Kale – to make this a green smoothie!
- Collagen peptides
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- Protein powder – an easy way to add a few grams of protein to this smoothie for a post-workout snack.
This smoothie is a great base recipe and is totally adaptable. Make it next time you need a quick and healthy breakfast or snack!

Hi Erin,
I never thought avocado would go with mango well but I was so wrong.. thanks for the recipe. I often use my home made non diary milks for smoothies. Hemp milk is one of my favourites as it’s so easy to make and creamy. Your readers may like to try my easy recipe here: https://thehealthfulkitchen.com/how-to-make-hemp-seed-milk/
