This avocado mango smoothie is loaded with avocado, shredded coconut, frozen mango, medjool dates and lime juice. It’s thick, creamy and the perfect refreshing smoothie for summer!
It’s officially smoothie season!! When the weather is cold I don’t typically crave smoothies, but once the temps rise above 70, it’s smoothie time. Every day, all day. Which is why I’ve been sharing a ton of smoothie recipes lately!
They’re so easy and perfect for when you’re in a rush. You can literally just toss everything into the blender, blend for a minute, pour into a glass and your meal is ready.
I already have a basic mango smoothie with frozen mango here on the site, but today I’m sharing a version with fun add-ins like coconut, lime and avocado!
Ingredients Needed:
Here’s everything you need for this tasty smoothie!
- cold water – instead of milk we’re using cold water for the liquid in the recipe. Of course, you’re welcome to use milk if you prefer!
- unsweetened shredded coconut – a great source of fiber and I love the texture it adds to the smoothie as well.
- avocado – make sure your avocado is pitted and you’re only using the flesh that you scooped out. I love using avocado in my smoothies because it adds healthy fat and makes them thicker and creamier. You can use a fresh or frozen avocado. Either works!
- mango – nothing compares to the flavor of fresh mango, but I like using frozen in this recipe because it gives the smoothie the perfect texture.
- medjool dates – dates are an amazing natural sweetener. Using them instead of sugar will give your smoothie a delicious, natural sweetness. Just make sure to remove the pit before adding them to your blender! And feel free to skip the dates to lower the sugar content.
- fresh lime juice – to boost the citrus flavor.
- vanilla – a great flavor enhancer.
Adding Avocado to Smoothies
Avocado is such a great addition to smoothies. It makes smoothies extra creamy and smooth (without needing any dairy) and makes them more nutrient-dense and filling as well. The healthy fat in avocado is also perfect for helping with absorption of fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A.
And because of its mild flavor, you usually can’t even taste avocado in smoothies. Especially if they’re blended with a flavorful fruit like mango.
tip! Have extra avocados on hand that are perfectly ripe? Freeze them! Frozen avocados work great for smoothies. You can even find frozen avocado at stores now.
This smoothie actually reminds me of my avocado and lime tart, but in liquid form. It’s creamy, refreshing and perfectly blends mango, avocado and coconut together with a hint of lime!

I made this smoothie, It was too yummm. Thanks Brittany for sharing this amazing recipe 🙂
Woo-hoo! So glad you liked it, Jenny. Doesn’t the avocado make it sooo creamy?
I just found your blog from bloglovin. I’m just starting to check it out, but i want to say I already love it! It’s nice to get such detailed instructions. I’m a novice at cooking and to read your above directions – Place water and shredded coconut into your blender and blend until the water becomes cloudy — about 10-30 seconds. Add all remaining ingredients into blender and blend until smooth. That helps me to know how it might look or should, so I know I’m not messing it up. Now I’m on to check out more and start trying your recipes and workouts. Kudos!
I would definitely try this smoothie recipes. It’s good to know other ways of making smoothie out from avocados.
Can’t wait to try this out! I’ve found so few filling smoothie recipes since going Paleo and the winners so far have all been ones with avocado.
This is great! I will have to try making my smoothies ahead of time…sometimes I want to make them but run out of time in the mornings. Making ahead would definitely help 🙂
you are genius! i must try the lime tart one as well!
Thanks lady!! 🙂
I love your advice on freezing smoothies – I love when my smoothies are thick almost closer to a parfait consistency and obviously overnight in the fridge the next day they are never as good! Looking forward to trying this delicious looking smoothie! Pinned!
thank you for the smoothie advice. i never thought that i could make a smoothie in advance but never thought for a minute that they could be frozen. Great advice that i will be following.
Hi! I’m just wondering what kind of blender you use. I’ve been making smoothies every morning but my blender is starting to die (it’s very old) and I’m definitely shopping for a new one. Any tips?
Hi Ayme. I have a Vitamix and a Blendtec. I like both but I think my top choice is the Vitamix. It works so well for making smoothies and you can also make juices, nut butter, ice cream, soup, dips, etc.
I can totally relate to it being smoothie season! The past couple of weeks I have been whipping up a banana/cacao/pb/coconut milk smoothie to bring to work with me for my afternoon treat. But now? It looks like tomorrow I will be whipping up a creamy avocado mango smoothie, because I have everything I need and it looks irresistible! Thank you Brittany! I continue to appreciate your creative expertise in the kitchen!
