What’s in the Vegan Mango Kale?

Our Homemade Copycat Version
We recreate it with frozen mango, banana, fresh greens, vanilla vegan protein, and apple juice for the same bright, creamy taste.
Vegan Mango Kale Ingredients
- Frozen Mango Chunks: 1 cup—adds tropical sweetness and fiber and gives the smoothie its vibrant flavor.
- Frozen Banana: 1 medium banana—makes it smooth, naturally sweet, and creamy without needing dairy.
- Fresh Kale Leaves: 1 cup, stems removed—adds vitamins and a little earthiness to balance the fruit.
- Baby Spinach: ½ cup—mild and packed with nutrients without overpowering the flavor.
- Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder: 1 scoop—gives it a creamy texture and makes it a satisfying plant-based snack.
- Unsweetened Apple Juice: ¾ cup—adds natural sweetness and helps everything blend easily.
- Ice Cubes: ½ cup—makes the smoothie refreshingly cold and thick.
How to Make the Vegan Mango Kale at Home
- Add liquid and greens first: Pour the apple juice into your blender and add the kale and spinach. This helps the greens break down smoothly.
- Add frozen fruits and protein: Toss in the mango, banana, and protein powder. These build the sweet, creamy body of the smoothie.
- Top with ice and blend: Add ice and blend on high until fully smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste and tweak: If it’s too thick, add a splash more juice. Want it sweeter? Add a little pineapple or maple syrup.
