Every so often, a flavor combination comes along that makes you tilt your head and squint your eyes, as you wonder, “Would that really be good?” This smoothie is like that, but it catches you off guard and is so delicious.
A few great things about this smoothie – it’s dairy free, grain and gluten free (doesn’t use oat milk), vegan, and easily made nut free, paleo or whole 30 depending on the liquid and sweetener you use. If you’re on any medications, double check to make sure they don’t react with grapefruit juice before drinking this smoothie. Otherwise, I think you’ll really love it.
Mango, Avocado & Grapefruit Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango
- 1 cup frozen banana
- 1 large avocado peeled, pitted
- 3-4 fresh mint leaves
- 20-ish drops liquid vanilla stevia sweetener
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 cup grapefruit juice unsweetened
- 1-2 cups coconut water depending on desired consistency
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. If the bitterness of grapefruit isn't your thing, you can add more sweetener or swap for fresh orange juice and reduce or leave out the sweetener.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

I’ve made this 1-2x a week since you posted it! It. Is. So. Delicious. I leave out the sweetener and add spinach. Obsessed!!
This is truly inspired. Avocado and mango is the power couple I never knew I needed. Thanks, Chris! ????
Looks go delicious! Always looking for new smoothie ideas-thanks!
I love this Smoothie. Its look sweet and I will try to prepare it when I get all the ingredients! Thank you for sharing!
I got so excited to finally find a good smoothie recipe without banana… then looked through the recipe and… womp womp ???????? Chris tricked me.
Take out the banana! Just add some extra mango – the banana mainly helps with texture but all mango will be just great.
Looks yummy! What blender do you use?
It’s a Vitamix – exact one isn’t available but the replacement can be found on Amazon.
Just made this morning and it was really delicious! I substituted honey for Agave and left out the Stevia. Also left out the mint as I don’t care for it. Would absolutely recommend and will be making again! Thanks Chris!
Yum! I’m super curious to try this. I have everything but the grapefruit at home. Guess I’m going to the store. Happy Sunday! So cute to see Polly helping. ????
Do you have any recommendations for replacing the grapefruit juice? Grapefruit juice can have negative effects with certain medications.
I’d skip this one!
This is mentioned in the text of the post! Check it out above. :)
That looks really yummy. I want to try it, but I’ve developed a banana allergy, mango would have been my substitute. Do you think I could increase the mango by a cup, or do you suggest another substitute? It’s surprising how often I have to adapt or forgo recipes.
Definitely you could increase the mango and skip he banana.
Sorry…just saw the orange juice comment. My bad…
I’m one of those that cannot do grapefruit and I’m guessing because of the unique flavor profile, there is no good substitute???
