Mango Greek Yogurt Smoothie (and Why It’s More Than Just a Sweet Treat)
There’s something about mangoes that instantly make you think of summer: They're sweet, juicy, and full of sunshine. I’ve been sipping on this Mango Greek Yogurt Smoothie ever since Amal Zayed (Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and smoothie magician) shared it with me for my May newsletter. And I loved it so much, I had to bring it here to the blog too.
This smoothie has actually become mine and my daughter’s favorite one! She often asks me to prepare it for her for breakfast. One day, I was out of mangoes and swapped in frozen pineapple instead, and it turned out just as tasty. It’s vibrant, nourishing, and incredibly versatile. I also love having it after a run, especially as a refreshing recovery drink on a hot summer day, ideally about an hour before a proper meal.
This smoothie has a perfect balance of flavor and nourishment: creamy Greek yogurt for protein, spinach for that green goodness, a touch of flax seeds for fiber and healthy fats, and a hint of cinnamon to spice things up. Plus, it blends like a dream and makes you feel amazing.
Here’s the full recipe:

This smoothie isn’t just tasty—it’s functional. It supports digestion, balances blood sugar, and gives your body a gentle anti-inflammatory boost. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited to co-host our upcoming event:
