Smoothies are always so versatile, and can be enjoyed at a moment's notice (well a few minutes!) as they are so easy to make. If you love smoothies too, then you may like to see my apple and pear smoothie, my cherry blueberry smoothie or my mango pear smoothie for even more mango flavour. All so deliciously fruity!
If bowls are also something you enjoy for a weekend treat, then my blueberry smoothie bowl is so delicious, and so fun with all the toppings!
This mango smoothie without banana or yogurt has a touch of a tropical vibe, and is fruity and fun. It's quite hearty with the oats and flax, making it perfect as a breakfast smoothie.

⭐ Why this recipe is so good
- Bursting with fruit. Mango gives the smoothie a tropical vibe, and the blueberries pack a punch in terms of vitamins.
- Filling. This berry mango smoothie includes oats and flax to make it a bit more hearty, but without banana or yogurt that is often used to thicken.
- Easy to make. Just dump the ingredients in the blend and, well, blend!
🥭 Ingredients
- Mango and blueberries - you can use fresh or frozen (particularly when out of season). You may just need to blend a little longer if frozen.
- Oats - use gluten free certified if required, such as the Bob's Red Mill organic gluten free old fashioned rolled oats.
- Flaxseed - to add some healthy fatty acids and to help thicken. You want ground flax (sometimes called milled flaxseed). I use the Linwoods organic milled flaxseed.
- Frozen cauliflower - this helps the smoothie get creamy, but be sure to use frozen not fresh cauliflower and just a small piece!
📖 Variations to the recipe
If you don't have blueberries to hand, then you can swap out for a small amount of blackberries or other berries instead.
Honey can be used in place of maple syrup, but would mean the smoothie is vegetarian rather than vegan if you have that dietary requirement.
🔪 Step by step instructions
Just a few steps to make this mango and blueberry smoothie, and all are easy to do:
Step 1
Dice the mango into small pieces. It doesn't have to be exact, as they will be going in the blender. This post on how to cut a mango by BBC Good Food may be helpful.
Step 2
Add the non-dairy milk to the blender cup, and then the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3
Blend for a minute or so (depending upon the power of your blender). Check the frozen cauliflower is blended, as it will take longer than the other ingredients. Then enjoy!
💭 Recipe tips and notes
- Be sure to use frozen cauliflower rather than fresh. Using fresh cauliflower won't give the same creamy texture.
- I find that pouring the milk into the blender first helps prevent the oats from sticking as much.
- Both fresh and frozen blueberries can be used to make this mango berries smoothie. If using fresh berries you may want to add a little ice to the smoothie.
📋 Frequently asked questions
Yes, it contains lots of fruit, oats and ground flax. If you prefer not to add additional sugar, then simply leave out the maple syrup.
We use oats and a little frozen cauliflower to get a thick and creamy smoothie. Check out my post on yogurt substitutes to thicken smoothies for more options!
I always find it best to add the milk first, then the other ingredients. This helps prevent the maple syrup, oats and flax from sticking to the sides of the blender.
You can of course add protein powder. My low histamine readers may wish to check ingredients of protein powders carefully before using them.

So glad I discovered this website! It’s been a lifesaver, especially the smoothie recipes! I loveeeed banana and yogurt in my smoothies, and was stumped to figure out how to make them creamy otherwise. This recipe (like the others) is so tasty!
