This 3 step Mango Kiwi Smoothie is fresh, delicious, and best of all, healthy. It’s great for breakfast, as a snack or dessert!
This Mango Kiwi Smoothie is a bright and refreshing drink. The mix of sweet mangoes, tangy kiwis, blended with creamy yogurt, feels like a trip to a tropical paradise. It’s great for breakfast or a snack. The best part? It only takes about 5 minutes to make from start to finish!
My son lives in Florida and is lucky enough to have a Mango tree in his yard! He knows how much we love them so making this Mango Kiwi Smoothie for breakfast was a treat. My family immediately fell in love with them because they taste like sunshine in a glass! Now it’s become our go-to drink for busy mornings, hot summer days, or whenever we need a quick energy boost.
What makes this smoothie so special is how it feels like a treat but is actually packed with vitamins and nutrients. Even my hubby who isn’t a fan of yogurt loves them and I like that he’s getting a serving of fruit!
Ingredient Notes
While you’ll find the full ingredient list in the recipe card below, I wanted to highlight a few important ingredients:
Sugar: Taste test your smoothie before adding a sweetener. You might not even need it depending on how sweet your fruit is. Honey, agave, or maple syrup are great natural alternatives if you prefer.
Mangoes: Look for mangoes that give slightly when squeezed – that means they’re ripe and sweet! If fresh mangoes aren’t available, frozen chunks work perfectly and actually make the smoothie thicker.
Kiwi: The tartness balances the sweet mango beautifully. Choose kiwis that yield to gentle pressure but aren’t mushy.
Yogurt: I use plain Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess, but any yogurt works. For a dairy-free version, coconut yogurt makes a delicious tropical substitute!
Pro Tips for Making Perfect Mango Kiwi Smoothies
Before you head to the recipe card, here are some helpful tips I’ve learned from making this smoothie many times:
Mango Cutting Tip: To cut a mango without the mess, stand it on the stem end and slice down on either side of the flat pit. Score each half in a grid pattern (don’t cut through the skin), then push the skin side up so the cubes pop out for easy cutting.
Kiwi Peeling Hack: The easiest way to peel a kiwi is to cut off both ends, then slide a spoon between the skin and fruit. Gently push the spoon around the kiwi, keeping it close to the skin, and the fruit will pop right out in one piece! Then just slice it up for your smoothie. You could also peel it with a pairing knife. I don’t find using a vegetable peeler useful.
Blender Power: Start on low speed then gradually increase to high for the smoothest texture without air bubbles.
Freezing Trick: Freeze your mango chunks for at least 30 minutes before blending for an extra-cold, thick smoothie without watering it down with ice.
Texture Tip: For a thinner smoothie, add a splash of milk or juice. For thicker, use more frozen fruit or less liquid.
Preparation Tip: Peel and cube your mangoes ahead of time and store them in the freezer for smoothies anytime!
Serving Suggestions
This Mango Kiwi Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a piece of whole grain toast and a bit of peanut butter for a complete breakfast. For a fun presentation, try serving it in clear glasses with a slice of kiwi on the rim!
I freeze extra in small cups for a healthy frozen treat on hot days. If you’re making this for a brunch, try adding a splash of coconut water and serving in small glasses as a refreshing starter. You can also add a splash of prosecco. Mimosas mango style!
Storage and Leftovers
This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after making it, but it will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours stored in an airtight container or mason jar. Just give it a good shake or quick stir before drinking as separation is natural.
If you want to prep ahead, you can wash, peel, and chop all your fruits and store them in the freezer in individual portions. This way, you can quickly blend a fresh smoothie whenever you want one!
Variations to Try
- Tropical Paradise: Add half a banana and a splash of coconut milk for a vacation-in-a-glass flavor!
- Green Power: Toss in a handful of spinach – the color changes but the taste stays sweet and fruity.
- Berry Blast: Add a handful of strawberries or blueberries for extra antioxidants and a beautiful color.
- Protein Boost: Mix in a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make it more filling.
- Super Seed Power: Adding a tablespoon of ground flax, chia, or hemp seeds is a simple way to pack in extra nutrition!

How To Make A Mango Kiwi Smoothie in 3 Simple Steps
Ingredients
- 2 Mangos
- 4 Kiwi
- 2 Tbl sugar optional
- 1 cup yogurt
Instructions
- Add enough liquid to the blender so the fruit blends easily. It could be water or fruit juice. In this recipe, I chose yogurt because it provides a rich and thick texture that is pretty desirable for a smoothie.
- Add the fruit that you are going to use. In this recipe, our ingredient of interest is mango. Therefore, that is our base fruit. Ideally, you should mash the base fruit first with the liquid.
- After you mix the base fruit and the liquid, you can add other ingredients to provide another layer of flavor to your smoothie. In this recipe, we will be using kiwi. This particular fruit has souring properties that could perfectly balance the sweet flavor of mango.Peel off the skin of the kiwi and let the blender mash its flesh together with the initial mixture.

I wanted to try this as I only had this 2 fruits. But I have to say, its not great the combination of the yugurt with fruits.. possibly some milk would be better
I’m not sure what fruits you used and not sure why you didn’t care for it so I can’t offer much assistance for you. However, if it was too tart a teaspoon of honey would help.
Great after my workouts
This sounds delicious! I love mangoes sooooooo much!
Thank you Kelsie!
Whoohoo! I’m excited to see a smoothie recipe that doesn’t include bananas (I’m allergic). Gonna give this one a whirl, Julie. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Debbie! Personally I don’t love bananas in my smoothies so this is a keeper!
I’ve never had these two flavors together but now I can see how great they’d be!! We like Kiwi a lot (brain food) and I love Mangos.
