This Mango Orange Greek Yogurt Smoothie is my go-to when I need a healthy breakfast that doesn’t skimp on flavor. I first stumbled onto this combo when I had a pile of ripe mangoes from the farmer’s market and an orange rolling around in the fridge. One blend later, I was hooked! I was never a yogurt-in-smoothies person until I gave it a shot one day. Now I can’t make smoothies without it – the yogurt makes them incredibly rich and creamy!
What makes this smoothie so special? It’s got high-protein Greek yogurt to keep you full, a burst of vitamin C from oranges, and fiber-packed mangoes that taste like summer. Whether you’re sipping it as a post-workout smoothie or a refreshing snack, it’s a winner. Plus, it takes less time to make than it does to find your missing car keys (trust me, I’ve timed it). Ready to give it a whirl? Let’s get blending!

Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this nutrient-packed smoothie. Don’t stress—I’ve got options for whatever’s in your pantry!
- 1 ripe Mango (or 1 cup frozen mango)
Fresh is fabulous if you’ve got a ripe one—give it a gentle squeeze; it should feel soft. No luck? Frozen mango works like a charm and keeps things extra chilly. - 1 Orange (peeled and segmented)
Fresh oranges bring that zesty kick. Short on time? A splash of orange juice does the trick. - 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
Full-fat makes it dreamy, but low-fat’s great too. Dairy-free? Grab some coconut or almond yogurt instead. - 1/2 cup water or orange juice
Want a tropical vibe? Swap in coconut water. It’s like a mini vacation in your glass! - Optional Add-ins
Feeling fancy? Toss in a scoop of protein powder, a drizzle of honey, or some spinach for a healthy add-in boost.
