How to make it
Ingredient Notes + Substitutions
You need just a few simple ingredients for this Mango Peach Breakfast Smoothie.
- mango - You can use frozen or fresh mango in this recipe, but I like the texture of this smoothie with frozen mango best. It's also more affordable to purchase frozen mango chunks, unless they are local to where you live! The only fruit that can be substituted for mango in this smoothie is banana, because both fruits make a smoothie creamy (rather than chunky),
- strawberries or peaches - You can use frozen or fresh peach slices or strawberries, or even swap it out entirely for other berries or fruits! Since they're more readily available, I usually make this smoothie with frozen strawberries. However, I think frozen peaches are the BEST.
- fresh spinach - as far as leafy greens go, spinach in smoothies has the mildest flavor and leaves you tasting just the fruit and nutty flavor of almond butter. You can swap it out for other leafy greens like kale. If serving this smoothie to children, I recommend using spinach.
- milk - I use unsweetened almond milk in this smoothie recipe but any dairy or plant-based milk will work.
- coconut water - Coconut water adds electrolytes to this breakfast smoothie, which is particularly beneficial in the warmer seasons and if you are a caffeine drinker. You can replace it with more milk, orange juice, or plain water.
- ground flaxseed - Ground flaxseed is not a necessary ingredient and you can leave it out or swap it for chia seeds, sunflower seeds, hempseeds, or another favorite nut or seed. Note that ground flaxseed is a thickening agent, and if you're making multiple servings for meal prep, I recommend leaving it out or swapping it for another seed so your smoothie doesn't get too thick.
- almond butter - Adding almond butter to smoothies is an easy way to add creaminess. Peanut butter or another nut butter can be used as a substitute.
More add-ins to try!
Make this Peach Mango Smoothie your own with these variations!
- spices - Cinnamon or turmeric adds a subtle fragrant aroma and taste that compliments the other ingredients.
- protein powder - Add a few scoops of your favorite protein powder. I like Sprout Living Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder.
- more seeds - Hemp seeds are one my favorites in place of or in addition to flaxseed! Chia seeds and sunflower seeds are also good options
- toppings - Add some hemp seeds, cashew cream, or our favorite Dairy-Free Whipped Cream just for fun.
Equipment
I recommend a high-speed blender for this smoothie recipe. I use a Vitamix while at home, and a Nutribullet while traveling.
Step-by-Step Instructions
There are only two easy steps to make this Breakfast Smoothie.
- Prepare the blender: Add the liquids first, followed by the spinach, frozen fruit, and all remaining ingredients to a blender.
- Blend: Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more liquid to thin if desired, or more frozen fruit if you like it thicker.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
I like to make several servings of this smoothie at a time, and I store them in individual jars in my refrigerator for a quick breakfast during the week.
No! This dairy-free smoothie is made with plant milk. To get the consistency of a smoothie that is made with yogurt, this recipe uses almond butter, flaxseed, and frozen fruit.
Surprisingly, no. Even though we're putting a hefty amount of spinach into this green fruit smoothie, the fruit and other ingredients help to mask any earthy, bitter flavor the spinach might have. The almond butter is a great way to conceal this flavor as well.
Expert Tips
Make this Peach Mango Green Smoothie easier with these expert tips!
Add the liquids to the blender first.
When making a smoothie, always add the liquids first to a blender before the fruit and other solid ingredients. This helps to prevent air pockets when the blades start moving.
Leave out or swap the flaxseed if making it ahead of time.
Since ground flaxseeds can cause this smoothie to gel, it's best to swap it for hemp hearts or leave it out if you're making multiple servings ahead of time.
If using ground flaxseed, enjoy this smoothie shortly after blending.

Stacey says
I made this smoothie this morning because I just so happened to have mango, peaches (I put chunks in the freezer last night), and spinach. I didn't have coconut water so I just added extra almond milk, as suggested. This was so good! Cold, creamy, and fruity ๐
