I love smoothies, because they are quick and easy to make, not to mention delicious. This Mango Avocado Smoothie is a tasty treat that works well as a snack or an easy breakfast or lunch – and it perfect green food for St. Patrick’s Day!
Dairy Free Smoothie
I prefer smoothies that don’t have yogurt as an ingredient, and I find that avocado works well to make a dairy free smoothie rich and creamy without yogurt.
This smoothie combines avocado with orange juice, mango, spinach and a little bit of mint for a creamy green treat. Adding the spinach makes it more nutritious, but you can’t taste the spinach at all!
I love the tropical flavor and it makes a refreshing drink for anyone in the family. I like my smoothies thick, but if you prefer a thinner drink you can add a little water or more orange juice to thin it out.

I love both mango and avocado so this one seems like it is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting combination, but I bet it’s good!
I used avocado in my smoothie this week and LOVE it! I agree that it makes it so creamy!
I’ve never tried avocado in my smoothie – but I’m going to this week!!
Avocado is great for smoothies and the kids love the bright color- can’t wait to try!
Ok – all this talk about avocados has me curious. I’m going to have to try it!
YUM! I love avocado and mango together! My kiddos loved mango and spinach puree when they were babies. So yummy!
I’ve never thought of putting avocado in my smoothie. I guess it’s something I need to try!
I love mango and I love avocado, but I have a strict rule against drinking anything green! I don’t think my stomach could handle it!
Sounds so delicious and love that it is packed with nutrients!
I’ll definitely have to try this! I love smoothies.
I love smoothies, but haven’t tried this variety before. That’s definitely a healthy smoothie!
That’s some great protein! Was it hard to blend the mango? I always seem to have a hard time cutting up mangoes because they seem so hard!
This sounds delicious and so refreshing!
I love Avocados. Lots of good fat. I haven’t tried it in a smoothie though!
Okay…. This looks both delicious and terrifying. Have you ever switched out another fruit for the mango? I’m not a big mango person, but I love the idea of a smoothie not using yogurt (because yuck!) and am intrigued about the idea of using an avocado. I do however like me some guacamole so this could work.
Very intriguing ingredients! I would definitely try this! We love smoothies during the summer.
I have to try the avocado trick, I usually use yogurt. I do have to say though I have difficulties with the green color when adding spinach to my smoothies, it’s strange…
I have a new-found love of avocados and a long time love of mangoes. They sound delicious together in a smoothie!
I love mangos! and the addition of mint sounds super! So glad you shared this at Wake Up Wednesday!
I would never think to put mango and avocado together but I think the avocado would give the smoothie a creamier texture, which I’d like:)
This looks like an amazing combination, pinned! Visiting from Inspire Me Wednesday Link Party!
Yum! This looks really good! I only use greek yogurt in my smoothie if I’m out of protein powder (I like the extra protein) but I really like the way the avocado gives that creamy texture. I’m def. going to have to try this recipe, thanks!!! Pinned
So yummy! Love hiding spinach (and kale) in my smoothies! Such a great summer combination!
Oh my yum! Definitely adding this to my smoothie rotation!
We’d love to have you link up with the Caffeinated Crafters link party this week!
Substituting the dairy for a healthy fat-what a great idea! This looks so tropical and creamy, I can’t wait to try it 🙂

Stopping by from G’Day link up.
I’m a smoothie recipe collector! 🙂 This one looks and sounds delicious. Mango is one of my favorite fruits, but although I’ve seen smoothie recipes with avocado, I haven’t tried one yet. I’m looking forward to giving this one a try. Thanks for sharing. Pinning!

I love avocado but have never had it in a smoothie before. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Have a great day!! Laura@Baking in Pyjamas
I like adding spinach to smoothies, but have never tried avocado. Great idea for a creamy, thick smoothie. Thank you for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo!
It’s interesting to read some of the comments, avocado has been used along with other fruita and vegetables for centuries outside of the USA.
My guess is that people le are just starting to discover and experience the great food combinations that the rest of the world has to offer
Tastes like grass and anus. Would only recommend to closest friends. Thanks for the review, and don’t listen to the other bots saying it’s any good.
