Mango Avocado Smoothie Benefits
This energy-boosting green mango smoothie is loaded with benefits.
One of my favorite benefits of this smoothie is its energy-boosting properties and helping me curb cravings, which is why I love to drink it as a snack in the afternoon.
Here’s a full breakdown of all the benefits:
- Rich in Healthy Fats: Avocado provides monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Nutrient-Dense: The combination of avocado, mango, banana, spinach, and Greek yogurt ensures that the smoothie is packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
- Digestive Support: The fiber from the fruits and spinach, along with the probiotics in Greek yogurt, can aid digestion and support a healthy gut.
- Immune Boosting: The smoothie contains vitamins A, and C, which are known to strengthen the immune system and protect against infections.
- Antioxidant-Rich: Mango, spinach, and avocado are excellent sources of antioxidants, which can help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
- Weight Loss: The healthy fats and fiber in the smoothie can contribute to a feeling of fullness, potentially helping with weight loss by preventing overeating.
- Energy Boost: The smoothie contains natural sugars from fruits, providing a quick energy boost without the crash associated with refined sugars.
If you love this smoothie, I am pretty sure you will also love my protein spinach shake, and my kale mango smoothie!
And finally, you have to try my avocolada smoothie recipe too!
Optional Smoothie Variations:
The good thing about mangoes and avocados is that they work well with many different ingredients.
This is why, if you want to try a slightly different recipe using alternative ingredients, here is a list of some options:
- Use kale instead of spinach if you like kale better.
- If you don’t like bananas, you can use pineapple, for a richer tropical flavor.
- For a vegan option of this beverage, instead of Greek yogurt, use a vegan alternative. I personally love coconut yogurt.
- Instead of almond milk, you can use any other dairy-free milk of your choice. Coconut can work wonderfully in this smoothie.
Add-Ins:
- More Protein: Incorporate a scoop of protein powder, preferably unsweetened for an extra 22-25g of protein!
- Zingy Twist: Squeeze in a lemon or lime for a tangy twist that cuts through the sweetness of the mango beautifully.
- Energizing Boost: The smoothie is energizing as it is, but if you are making this smoothie for breakfast, you can add some caffeine. 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder will do the job!

The smoothie is thick and contains frozen fruit, which is why you will require a high-speed blender.
Oster and Hamilton Beach blenders along with Blendjet are not compatible with this recipe.
My preferred blenders are Vitamix and a Nutribullet. One is very expensive, the other one, not so much, but does the job.
