Delicious and refreshing tropical smoothie made with mango, greek yogurt, chia seeds, and coconut milk. Perfect summer treat!
As the weather gets warmer and we crave to drink something cold to refresh ourselves, I try to make smoothies for my family. With all the different smoothie we enjoy at home, one of my children’s favorite is the Mango Coconut Smoothie. It’s a perfect drink to add extra nutrition into our diet and cool down at the same time.

Delicious and refreshing tropical smoothie made with mango, greek yogurt, chia seeds, and coconut milk.
My son really loves mangos and we usually have them in our kitchen when they are in season. However, when mangoes are not in season, we purchase frozen mango to make this delicious smoothie. Thinking of creating a tropical flavor with mango, I used this delicious Unsweetened Coconutmilk from Silk to add natural sweet taste instead of using my regular almond milk.
The resulting mango coconut smoothie was a hit, and my entire family loved it. By the way, Silk Coconutmilk is not the same as the typical canned coconut milk. This coconut milk is a thin or light variety and it’s dairy, gluten and soy- free. It’s an excellent beverage option for vegan smoothies as it contains no animal products.
I usually add kale and spinach in every smoothie I make at home, but if you are not a big green leaf eater, start by making healthy smoothies without the green vegetables. Then try adding one or two leaves into your smoothie at a time, and then gradually increase the amount of green vegetables. You will be surprised your smoothie tastes so good even with green vegetables in it ( (just like Mr. JOC was! He eats green veggies but was against the idea of leafy green in his drinks).

Thank you for sharing more smoothie recipes! I can’t wait to try this one–just have to get some chia seeds!
I will post a pic on Instagram after I make it.
Hi Donna! I hope you enjoy this one, and I look forward to your IG photo! 🙂 I buy chia seeds (small purple bag) from Trader Joe’s and frozen mangoes from Costco. 😉
Silk coconut milk has carageen which is unhealthy. So Delicious coconut milk does not. Most food products have carageen in them so remember to read your labels carefully.
Hi Mariah! Thanks so much for answering Nolwenn’s question above and providing helpful info!
Hey Nami, definitely looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it! I was just wondering if it was possible to use normal plain yogurt instead of using Greek, because up here in Canada, Greek yogurt can be very expensive…
Thanks!
Hi Megumi! Yes you can use normal plain yogurt. My kids love Vanilla yogurt too! I use Greek for healthy option, but it doesn’t have to be Greek yogurt. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
Tried this today using So Delicious Original Coconut milk (sorry, I know this is an advert for Silk, but I wanted to be honest for the changes I made), Zoi Vanilla Greek yogurt, and also added whey protein powder. It was DELICIOUS and not too sweet at all (seems like unsweetened yogurt/coconut milk might need honey or syrup if not using fresh mango). I added a cup of kale, but that was a mistake because it didn’t blend up very well, producing flakes of kale through the smoothie that I had to chew/pick out of teeth. I will try adding spinach (which blends easier) as the very subtle flavor of greens and color actually complement the creaminess of the mango and banana very well. This was very filling for a smoothie. Thanks!
Hi Bree! Thank you so much for sharing your tip and I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it. I haven’t tried adding whey protein powder yet, but my trainer recommended so I will start adding it to mine too. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
Any vegan sub for the yogurt?
You can skip it – I added to make it more creamier. 🙂
Thanks!
This is delicious! You can taste all the flavors, which is rare for me, especially with the coconut. Thanks for this delicious recipe!
Hi Bob! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for trying and for your kind feedback! xo
Delicious. I buy extra Kent mangoes that are in season now and freeze the cut up cubes in 1 cup portions to use the rest of the year. I find the Kent variety more fragrant and flavorful than the others. Hope you and your family are staying safe during this challenging time of the pandemic, wildfires, and heat.
Hi Karen! Thank you so much for sharing your tip on freezing mango! Thank you so much for your kind well wishes.
