This Coconut Mango Spinach Smoothie can also be easily turned into a complete meal replacement if you include the optional extra healthy fillers such as oats.
You can also easily convert this smoothie into a protein shake by including the optional natural plant based protein such as nuts or seeds.
I actually came across Amber’s blog a long time ago while searching for a good homemade chocolate recipe. So I was very pleased when she shared this gorgeous green smoothie recipe with me to share with you today.

Coconut Mango Spinach Smoothie
Coconut Mango Spinach Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen coconut milk cubes
- 1 cup fresh cut and frozen mango*
- 1 1/2 cups filtered water
- 0.8 ounces of fresh organic spinach (about 1 1/2 cups) OR if you run out of fresh greens, add 2 scoops of Amazing Green Powder for an extra healthy green boost.
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon hemp protein powder

Instructions
Add the above ingredients to a blender and blend until well incorporated.
Notes
- Freeze mango at least 2 hours.
- There are a number of ways to make this smoothie. If you don’t have the time to freeze the coconut milk and the mango, you can just use ice (about 2 cups), 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup fresh mango. And you can add in your favorite protein powder. I happen to love hemp. Don’t like maple syrup? A few drops of stevia would work great, as would honey or coconut nectar.
This recipe is a blended complete meal containing natural protein sources and leafy greens. If you’d like any more information about these topics, check out my complete guides below:

Hi Amber
Thank you so much for this great post. I really appreciate it.
Amber, this sounds so delicious! I’ve been working on a mango smoothie lately too. I love how you use coconut ice cubes! Brilliant!!

Thanks Heather! Love the coconut ice cubes too. Great to mix in with water and fresh fruit. It really makes it creamy! I had a smoothie this morning with avocado, those avocados REALLY add to the creaminess factor.
Hugs,
