Here's Why This Recipe Works
My top 3 favorite reasons:
- Quick and Easy Breakfast Ready in About 5 Minutes!
- 100% Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Dairy-Free!
- Made with only 8 Clean Ingredients!
This is a quick and nutritious breakfast smoothie that is ready to enjoy in about 5 minutes using a Vitamix, or high-speed blender.
I added as many nutrient-dense superfoods in this healthy smoothie as I could to give you the perfect energy boost for a breakfast smoothie.
It's made with "Green Vibrance" which is a plant-based superfood supplement that's gluten-free and non-GMO.
One serving contains over 25 billion probiotics and is loaded with superfoods and other nutrients.
I added some mango that I had leftover from my Vanilla Bean and Mango Chia Seed Pudding recipe I posted earlier and I used homemade almond milk to make it, but you could also use your favorite non-dairy milk instead.
"Feel good about what you eat..."

How To Make This Recipe: Step-By-Step Instructions
This is an easy plant-based smoothie recipe that is customizable - so feel free to substitute ingredients or omit it you don't have them on hand.
Step 1: Prepare Your Mango
In this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen mango.
If you use fresh mango, you'll need to peel and cube the mango before adding it to your Vitamix.
Step 2: Blend The Ingredients
Next, you'll add the remaining ingredients to the Vitamix and blend until everything is creamy and smooth.
Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients to make this recipe, like lucuma powder or maca powder.
I added those ingredients to give the recipe an extra nutritional boost, but you can omit them if you don't have them on hand.
Also, if you don't like or have Green Vibrance, you can substitute it with your favorite plant-based protein powder like this organic raw vegan brand, which is my favorite.
If you want, you can add extra hemp seeds, dried mulberries or almonds on the top before serving.

2. Healthy Fats: they contain plant-based fats that are essential for good health such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
3. Nutrient-Dense: they're a great source of magnesium, zinc, iron, as well as other vitamins and minerals.
4. High in Fiber: hemp seeds are high in fiber which can give an extra boost to your meals.
Homemade almond milk is super easy to make, and I used to make it every day when I started a vegan diet.
I have a complete recipe with step-by-step instructions which you can find here: Homemade Almond Milk, but I'll share a quick summary below.
You only need a few things to get started:
1. Ingredients: organic raw almonds and filtered/purified water.
2. Equipment: Vitamix or high-speed blender and nut milk bag.
Then, there's just 4 easy steps: soak, rinse, blend, strain!
Step 1: Soak the almonds in a bowl with water overnight to soften them.
Step 2: Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them with filtered water.
Step 3: Place the almonds in a Vitamix and blend for 1-2 minutes or until creamy.

I absolutely love to make smoothies because they are quick and easy.
In fact, I created an entire ebook with just smoothie recipes called Real Food Vegan™ Fruit Smoothies which contains 24 smoothie recipes made with clean, real food ingredients and all are 100% vegan, 100% gluten-free, 100% dairy-free, 100% soy-free, and 100% tofu-free.
You can also go to the search bar and type in "Smoothies" to find a complete listing of all the plant-based vegan smoothies and smoothie bowls on my website.
Yes! You can definitely substitute the Green Vibrance Superfood Powder or even omit it completely. Just substitute it with your favorite organic vegan protein powder, such as Sprout Living Vanilla Lucuma, which is my favorite.
If you need the recipe to be 100% Medical Medium® Compliant, use a single ingredient protein powder such as organic hemp powder or organic pumpkin seed powder.
That's a great question! Mango Hemp Smoothies and their variations are a popular sought after healthy smoothie recipe.
However, I had to distinguish my recipe version and photos as “original” because my photos and complete recipe also appear on OneGreenPlanet, who unfortunately uses bloggers content to generate profit for their website by using bloggers content in their recipe app, cookbooks and by charging readers to print a recipe.
In addition, prior to August 1, 2025, they did not link back to the original author’s content for credit or attribution. Their links either went to dead links or to an author page on their website but never back to the original author’s website URL.
For this reason, I do not recommend their website and would ask that you visit and support the original author’s website for recipe content instead of recycled and duplicate content on the OneGreenPlanet website.
For this recipe, “original” means if you see my photos and exact recipe (word for word) from March 11, 2014, on another site, primarily OneGreenPlanet, mine was the original and was posted first.
