Mango and ginger team up to give this green smoothie a delicious, tropical flavor with a bit of a bite. The Spicy Mango Smoothie is just one of the delicious recipes from Becky’s new ebook 40 Days of Green Smoothies .
Smoothies and smoothie bowls are my jams. They’re so easy to make for a quick breakfast or snack. I have one most days (even in the winter) because I love them so much. And because I’m obsessed with smoothies, I wanted to introduce you to an amazing new ebook 40 Days of Green Smoothies by Becky Striepe.
Becky’s book is full of healthy smoothie recipes which all include added green veggies (but honestly, you won’t even realize the greens are in there because the rest of the ingredients are so tasty)! The book also includes weekly tips and shopping lists for your convenience. I love how Becky uses natural ingredients to make her smoothies as healthy as can be. Some of her add-ins are chia seeds, parsley, avocado, tahini, and more!
Other tasty recipes include the Banana Berry Fresh, Coconut Blackout, Chocolate Shake, Cherry Tangerine, Chocolate Covered Cherry, and Spicy Mango (recipe below). How amazing do they all sound?!
Spicy Mango Smoothie
I chose the Spicy Mango Tango Smoothie because it was so different than any other smoothie I made before. The spiciness of this spicy mango smoothie comes from ginger. With added chia seeds and greens, this would be a perfect healthy breakfast or snack!

I fall away from smoothies in winter but this makes me want to get back into them!
Thanks Kari!
This is such a good (and clever) idea! I’m going to try it one morning before going to work. I feel like it’s going to be the perfect boost, especially after being ill (strep throat and sinus infection) for a week!
Oh no, I hope you’re feeling better Kate! Being sick it the worst!
I love the sound of this smoothie! The flavour combo is just perfect and it’s so healthy too. Great for warding off the winter germs!
Thank you so much Mel! That ginger is great for making the germs stay away!
I love mango in smoothies! Some of my other favorite ingredients are acai and pineapple.
That’s so funny, those are seriously mine too! Great minds think alike!
This looks like a great way to wake up in the morning! So delicious, and that bright green color!
Thanks so much Sarah!
Ooooh this sounds so good! I’m a ginger junky. I slowly worked my tolerance up and can handle quite a bit in my smoothies now. I’m still not as good as Terry – he can do ginger shots.
This “cookbook” sounds great! Thanks for sharing this delicious smoothie recipe =)
