Smoothie with Kiwi & Mango
Ok, maybe this is not my prettiest smoothie because of all the chia seeds and kiwi skin, but this Mango Kiwi Smoothie is such a great combination of flavors, that you have to give it a try! I love varying up the smoothies I make for myself and the kids because it’s a great way to eat different fruits (and even vegetables! This smoothie with kiwi and mango is not only full of flavor but it will actually energize you too!
Happy Cooking!

Mango Kiwi Smoothie Ingredients
- Mango: Go for a ripe mango for the best flavor or choose frozen mango and skip the ice cubes.
- Kiwi: Yellow or green kiwi; and keep the skin on!
- Milk: Coconut milk gives the kiwi smoothie recipe the tropical vibes, but any milk works!
- Chia Seeds: To bulk up the smoothie; use whole or ground chia seeds. There’s no need to soak them in advance.
- Lime Juice: Just a tablespoon to balance the sweetness but you can leave it out.
- Ice: If you’re using frozen fruits, you can skip the ice.

Recipe Tips
- Keep the kiwi in its skin. As I mentioned above, there’s no need to peel the kiwi skin. It’s less work this way and you get the fiber bonus from the skin. It does add a brownish tint to the smoothie but I promise it still tastes so good!
- Peel the mango skin. Unlike kiwi skin, the mango skin is not edible. But instead of cutting it off with a knife, I recommend using a vegetable peeler to remove the skin so you don’t lost any yummy mango flesh. Grab my technique and tips for how to cut mango.
- Use cold ingredients. It gives it a thicker texture and tastes more refreshing this way.
- Add more ice if necessary. If you find that your smoothie is too thin, add more ice cubes until you get a thickness you like.
Recipe Variations
- Add in some greens. Spinach and kale are both great options and you can do a large handful. Add more milk if you do add greens.
- Incorporate nut butter or protein powder. Since the kiwi smoothie recipe is for 2 servings, I recommend 2 tablespoons of nut butter or 2 scoops of protein powder (about 4 tablespoons). As with adding any solids, you may need to add more milk.
- Try other fruits. I like the combination of this smoothie with pineapple, papaya, and/or banana. You can substitute for kiwi or mango or add ½ cup of chopped fruit.
FAQs
Ideally, you want to only make enough smoothie for one or two servings. However, if you have any leftovers, store them in a tightly sealed container or jar in the fridge for up to 24. Be sure to give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as some of the ingredients may have settled on the bottom.
You can freeze the smoothie as is or in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, remove the cubes and place them in a freezer bag for easy access whenever you need a quick smoothie.
Absolutely! I am a huge fan of making freezer smoothie packs. Just leave out the lime (or use lime zest) and coconut milk until you’re ready to blend.
Just made this and it is absolutely delicious and super easy to make, thank you!
