Chill Ingredients: Use frozen mango or chilled coconut water for a frosty smoothie without diluting flavor.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste and add a drizzle of maple syrup if your mango isn’t sweet enough.
Use a High-Speed Blender: This ensures creamy results, especially with fibrous greens like kale.
Add Ice Sparingly: Too much ice can dilute flavor; rely on frozen fruit for chill.

Mango Green Detox Smoothie

A refreshing Mango Green Detox Smoothie with tropical mango, spinach, avocado, and coconut water for a healthy, vibrant boost.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup baby spinach, packed
1 cup frozen or fresh mango chunks
1 cup unsweetened coconut water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chia seeds
½ ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup (if needed)

Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients: Start by prepping all ingredients for a seamless blending experience. Peel and pit the avocado, juice the lime, and measure out your mango, spinach, coconut water, and chia seeds.
Blend the Greens First: Add the coconut water and baby spinach to your blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth and vibrant green. This ensures no leafy bits remain.
Add Mango and Avocado: Toss in the mango chunks and avocado half. These add sweetness and creaminess, making your smoothie irresistible.
Incorporate Lime and Chia: Pour in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the chia seeds. The lime brightens the flavors, while chia seeds boost nutrition.
Blend Until Silky: Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until everything is velvety smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed for even blending.
Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste. If it needs a touch more sweetness, blend in a teaspoon of maple syrup.
Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of coconut water and blend briefly. For a frostier texture, toss in a few ice cubes.
Pour and Serve: Divide the smoothie between two glasses or pour into one large glass for a solo treat. Garnish with a lime wedge if you’re feeling fancy!
Enjoy Immediately: Sip your smoothie fresh for the best flavor and nutrient benefits. It’s perfect for breakfast or a post-workout refresh.
Clean Up Easily: Rinse your blender right away with warm water to avoid sticky residue. Now, relax and enjoy your healthy creation!

Notes

Use organic ingredients when possible for a cleaner detox effect.
If using fresh mango, consider freezing it overnight for a chilled smoothie.
Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the smoothie from blender heat.
Consult a doctor if you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies.

Ingredients Notes

Mango: Frozen or fresh, mango adds tropical sweetness and vitamin C. Choose ripe, juicy mangoes for the best flavor.
Spinach: Mild and nutrient-dense, spinach blends seamlessly. Use baby spinach for a tender texture.
Avocado: Adds creaminess and healthy fats, making the smoothie satisfying. Ensure it’s ripe but not overripe.
Coconut Water: Hydrating and subtly sweet, it’s the perfect liquid base. Opt for unsweetened, pure coconut water.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice brightens flavors and balances sweetness. Avoid bottled for the best zest.
Chia Seeds: These add fiber and omega-3s. Soak briefly in liquid for easier blending if desired.

Variations and Substitutions

Greens Swap: Replace spinach with kale or arugula for a different nutrient profile; kale is slightly tougher, so blend longer.
Fruit Variations: Swap mango for pineapple or peach for a tropical twist, keeping the smoothie sweet and vibrant.
Liquid Base: Use almond milk or orange juice instead of coconut water for a creamier or tangier result.
Sweetener Options: Add maple syrup, agave, or a pitted date if extra sweetness is needed.
Protein Boost: Include a scoop of plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt for a more filling smoothie.
Nut-Free: Omit chia seeds or replace with flaxseeds for similar nutritional benefits without nuts.

Storage Options

Store leftover smoothie in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur. For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays and re-blend with a splash of coconut water when ready to enjoy. Avoid leaving at room temperature to preserve freshness.
