We thought we had a solid go-to green smoothie recipe until we visited our friends at Vitamix and learned this one from Chef Carolyne. With just a few ingredients, orange, mango, and greens (OMG), you get a creamy base and vibrant color. It’s great for beginners and kids as it’s sweet enough to cover most of the greens. But absent pineapple or grapes, there are many sweeter recipes out there. Great go-to green smoothie.
Ingredients
1 cup (240 mL) milk of choice
1 cup (67 g) kale
½ banana, peeled
½ orange, peeled
1½ cups (140 g) frozen mango
1 tablespoon (10 g) flaxseed (optional)
Directions
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Spinach can be substituted for kale, or use a combination of both greens.
Great as a smoothie bowl.

Unless I missed it (and I looked) I couldn’t find how many servings in one recipe. How many? Thanks!

Does it make a difference what type of kale is used? Which type is preferred? Should I remove the thick stems?

So good. I am moving to a plant based way of eating and I am determined to make a batch of green smoothies most mornings and use them throughout the day for snacks/pick-me-ups, etc. This one is delicious! I’m excited to try your recipes! Do you have a printed cookbook? I’m almost 70 and getting ready to retire but I love a hard copy book! Thanks for your website, insight and great recipes!!!

Trying the banana bread later today.

  Forgot to mention I used spinach instead of Kale. Kale is not my thing at all!!! LOL.

Just got my Vitamix today. This was the first thing I tried. I didn’t have mango but had pineapple so used that and half a small tart apple. It is really good, a little sweet for me but hoping to find a green drink the kiddos will like and I bet this will be it!

  Mango has a special taste and texture that makes smoothies, especially ones with green in them, well-received by even the pickiest eaters 👍

When I first saw this recipe I skimmed it over and thought meh. I was super bored with my regular smoothies and ran into it again and thought why not try it. And for some reason its so simple but SO GOOD. The addition of flax is a must. Thank you for restoring my love of smoothies. I guess sometimes you just have to simplify things.

Thanks Lenny for all your expertise with Vitamix. Watched the smoothie video for my first Vitamix debut. Vortex for flaxseeds. Wow. Recipe library is very impressive for variety and simplicity. I’ll be visiting regularly. First timer Terry.

Ran out of mangoes but was really craving this smoothie.
Subbed frozen peaches and it was still delish!
