When it comes to weight loss smoothies, it can be scary to try and find a smoothie that is good for your weight loss goals whilst also tasting good. Well, you can stop your search because this healthy mango watermelon smoothie for weight loss is the answer!

Low in calories and low in fat, this great-tasting smoothie can really help you with your weight loss goals whilst also tasting GREAT!

Let’s get to it…

Why this healthy mango watermelon smoothie for weight loss is amazing!

As a watermelon mango smoothie, it tastes amazing!

Seriously, this weight loss mango smoothie tastes absolutely amazing. The mango and watermelon go so well together, and the coconut yogurt then comes in and adds such a great depth of flavour to it.

And watermelon smoothies are so fresh, and mangoes so sweet and tropical, you will be convinced you are on an island paradise when you drink this mango watermelon smoothie!

Honestly, mango + watermelon + coconut is amazing!

It’s a mango coconut smoothie

Something I have discovered over making hundreds of fruit smoothies is that mangoes and coconut go REALLY well together! There is just something about their flavour combination that works so well!

One of my favourite ways to get coconut into smoothies is by using coconut yogurt. It gives you that texture like normal yogurt would, whilst giving a slight coconut flavour and being healthier than normal dairy yogurt.

See my notes near the end of this post as to what to look out for in regards to picking a coconut yogurt, as they are not all created equal. If you need a quick one to pick, I can recommend So Delicious unsweetened coconut yogurt, because it is made with organic coconut milk and has no added sugars.

Once you try this, you will really want to try some other smoothies with coconut yogurt in them! I highly recommend this mango and blueberry smoothie (which has coconut yogurt in) and this mango and coconut smoothie recipe (And hey! You could use any leftover mango you have from this recipe!).

It’s a mango smoothie without banana

Sometimes when searching around for a mango smoothie, you keep finding smoothies with banana in them. Bananas can have quite a unique flavour that a lot of people don’t like, so you’ll be glad to know that this is a mango smoothie without banana!

If you want other mango smoothies without banana, check out this mango pineapple smoothie or this mango strawberry smoothie (which is AMAZING, by the way!).

It’s a healthy mango smoothie

A great thing about this mango watermelon smoothie is that it is super-healthy! It will certainly help you reach your 5-a-day, and, with that, help you get in great nutrients in a great-tasting way!

Health benefits of mango

Although they are pretty high in sugar (hey, they are super-sweet!), mangoes have many health benefits that still make them good for you.

Mangoes may protect against cancer through their polyphenols. These also could help to prevent Type 2 diabetes.

Did you know that Mangoes have a large amount of Vitamin A in them (about 25% of your recommended daily allowance in one cup of mangoes)? Vitamin A is great for the immune system.

That same one cup of mangoes will also give you roughly 75% of your daily Vitamin C needs, which helps to produce collagen (which helps with skin elasticity and helps to prevent wrinkles).

Mangoes also have antioxidants that can help with eye health, and may even help to improve blood sugar regulation.

If you love mango like I do, you really should try it in other fruit smoothies. Why not check out this, frankly amazing, mango and strawberry smoothie, and this awesome blueberry and mango smoothie!

Health benefits of watermelon

Watermelon is great because it is mostly water (92%) and veyr low in calories (per 100g of watermelon, there are only 31 calories!).

Watermelon is high in beta-carotene, which turns in to Vitamin A in your body. This vitamin is great for your skin, eyes, and your immune system.

The L-citrulline in watermelon could also lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

It’s a watermelon smoothie for weight loss and a mango smoothie for weight loss

Many people looking to lose weight want to cut down on the fat they take in, and the calories they take in. With its low fat content (1.1g) and the very low calories it delivers (171.5kcal), this is a great watermelon smoothie for weight loss and mango smoothie for weight loss.

The other great thing with this watermelon smoothie is that watermelon has a high water-content and high fibre content. When you combine water and fibre, it can help you feel full quickly, so even though you aren’t taking in many calories from the watermelon, you are getting that full feeling. This can help you to reduce the amount of calories you taken in, which can help with your weight loss goals!

By the way, if you like this watermelon and mango weight loss smoothie, you should also check out this pineapple and watermelon weight loss smoothie!

It’s a versatile mango watermelon smoothie

A great thing about this watermelon and mango smoothie is that it is really versatile. If you are a fan of watermelon, you can easily add more of it without affecting the flavour or increasing the calorie content too much. Likewise, if you are a massive fan of mangoes (like I am!!), you can certainly add more mango to give it a sweeter mango punch.

And if you like a thicker smoothie, or you love that coconut flavour, feel free to add more coconut yogurt, because it works great even with double the amount of coconut yogurt!

You can make it a frozen mango smoothie

You don’t just have to use fresh mango with this watermelon mango smoothie for weight loss. That’s possibly a really useful thing, because fresh mango can quickly become messy when you start cutting it up!

if you use frozen mango in this, just bear in mind that it will make the smoothie slightly more watery, so you may want to offset that with a bit more coconut yogurt.

It can also be a great idea to make this a frozen mango smoothie because, when you combine the frozen mango with the coconut yogurt, it can make it taste even more fresh, fruity, and generally amazing! So go for the frozen mango if that sounds great to you!

You can make it a frozen watermelon smoothie

As with the mango, feel free to use frozen watermelon and make this a frozen watermelon smoothie. As with the mango, it will make the smoothie slightly more watery, so you could offset that with more coconut yogurt.

The great thing about using frozen watermelon is that it is much easier to store than fresh watermelon, and you can add it to other watermelon smoothies easily, like this amazingly fresh strawberry watermelon smoothie.

If you like frozen watermelon smoothies, you should check out this watermelon pineapple smoothie, which also works well as a frozen watermelon smoothie.

How to make a mango watermelon smoothie for weight loss

It’s super easy to make this weight loss mango watermelon smoothie! It only contains 3 ingredients (plus water), and all are easy to get at stores, whether as fresh or frozen ingredients. You can also freeze the leftover fruit, and keep the yogurt in the fridge for future weight loss smoothies.

Ingredients

  • Mango – As detailed above, you can use either frozen or fresh mango for this mango smoothie.
  • Watermelon – As with the mango, you can make this watermelon smoothie with frozen or fresh watermelon.
  • Coconut yogurt – For the coconut yogurt, be sure to get a coconut yogurt that fits within your dietary requirements. Why do I say that? Because when you look in to them, you will soon find out that “coconut yogurt” does not always mean what you might think – some coconut yogurts are pure, some are actually dairy yogurts with coconut flavouring, and some are a mixture. I like So Delicious unsweetened coconut yogurt because it doesn’t have added sugars and is made with organic coconut milk.

Steps

First things first, prepare your ingredients for the mango smoothie.

Add the mango.

Add the watermelon.

Add the coconut yogurt.

Add the water.
