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
Step by step instructions
Step 1– freeze your avocado the night before. Peel and pit the avocado and then put it into a freezer safe plastic bag and freeze.
Step 2– Put the frozen mango, frozen avocado, honey, and almond milk into a blender and mix until smooth.
Step 3– Pour into bowls and add your toppings of choice.

This looks amazing. We always have avocados on hand so we love finding new ways to eat them!
I’m hooked!
These colors are amazing, and I love chia seeds. Looks like a great addition to my morning breakfast rotation.
I love how simple this is and it looks delicious!!
This sounds really yummy! I guess you could also make this into a drink. too. It would be a great on the run drink to take with you for work. We’re always dashing and this could be breakfast on the go 🙂
Such a good idea!!
A simple, but delicious recipe. I’d have to try.
What other seed would you suggest to sprinkle on, if you would have to replace the chia seeds?
Flax seeds, hemp seeds, crushed almonds. 🙂
This looks so delicious! I’m super excited to give this a shot today. I love high-vibe foods!! xx
Smoothie bowls are always so pretty! Great idea of flavors to combine, I love using avocado as much as I can!
This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to try this!
I would have never thought about putting avocado and mango together, but this does sound appealing. I would need to substitute the almond milk, but otherwise this is something I may just try . Thanks for sharing!
I learned several things from this post. For example, avocados work very well for those people who are allergic to bananas. I also learned that be= pollens have several nutrition benefits. Now, where can I get these pollens? Are they available on Amazon?
