This mango avocado smoothie is a simple and delicious smoothie recipe that is perfect for a wide variety of toppings.
I’ve been on a mission to come up with smoothie recipes without bananas in them. It’s not because I don’t like them; I actually love frozen bananas in smoothies BUT my husband is allergic to them. And I feel guilty sometimes that he can’t enjoy smoothies with me.
Because of this, we have been making my wild blueberry smoothie, cherry mango greek yogurt smoothie, and this mango avocado smoothie on repeat. We like turning this mango avocado smoothie into bowls and adding chia seeds, almond butter, hemp seeds and bee pollen on top.

Why this recipe is great
- This smoothie is really creamy, thanks to the avocado.
- This smoothie has a nice sweet flavor from the mango and honey.
- Avocado is nutrient dense and mango is a great source of vitamin C. There is 300% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin C in this smoothie.
Recipe ingredients
- Frozen avocado– Once your avocado is ripe, all you have to do is remove the pit and outer shell, chop up the avocado and put the pieces into a plastic bag and freeze it.
- Frozen mango– I like to measure these using mango chunks.
- Honey– Any kind of honey works for this recipe. Drippy ones mix in better. I love using manuka honey. It’s a type of honey from New Zealand that has 4x the nutrients as regular honey. It can help kill bacteria and reduces inflammation. I like this one from Wedderspoon.
- Almond milk– or any kind of milk of your choice works for this recipe.
See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
Topping options
- bee pollen- I like adding Organic bee pollen because it is 40% protein.
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds
- almond butter or peanut butter
- granola
- honey
- crushed nuts
- sliced fruit
