Mango Ginger Kale Green Smoothie

Perfection!!! Was hoping to find a jamba juice dupe and this is it. Sooooo so refreshing. Only change I made was to use orange juice instead of water. This will be a summer staple in my house!

Green drink recipes can be so hit or miss, but this was goooood! I added a tad more maple syrup just so that my 5-yo wouldn’t bristle at the ginger, but it’s a winner. I’ll try to adapt this by adding protein powder to it next time, but I like try recipes as written the first time before making adjustments. Thanks for sharing your gift with the rest of us!

I adore the Jamba Greens & Ginger smoothie, and this recipe 100% does the trick when I’m craving one. The nearest Jamba is a solid 30 min away, so thank you for creating this epic dupe that helps me save $$ by making it at home! I like to add vanilla protein powder, and the added flavor eliminates the need for me to add maple syrup.

I made this today for like the tenth time and it is still so good I felt I should come a leave a review. I had never tried kale or ginger in smoothies before and I was clearly missing out lol

I have made it with spinach instead of kale sometimes and tropical or orange juice if I am out of lemons, no peaches, etc. and it is still a winner! :-)

I loved this smoothie! I can’t eat bananas, so I’m always on the hunt for smoothies without banana! It was so refreshing and light-tasting. I used spinach for the kale, as my grocery store was out of kale. I also subbed coconut water for the plain water, and added a couple of tablespoons of hemp seeds to add some healthy fats and more protein. Great recipe!

I love this smoothie. I love the lightness to it and the flavors blend perfectly. I was happy it didn’t taste too sweet with the fruit, and it didn’t give me brain fog like some smoothies do. I did not use the maple syrup and I added a tsp of Anima Mundi Liver Support, which is chock full of other greens and I am feeling great! Thanks for this recipe; I can’t wait to try some of the others!

Yum! My first foray into a smoothie with ginger and this was a hit. I swapped spinach in for the kale and used all mango. It’s puckery, fruity, and has a lingering heat from the ginger. Absolutely delicious and flexible recipe to make with the greens and frozen fruit you have. I’ve made a few more times successfully adding frozen banana, swapping in honey for syrup, and sometimes using half almond milk or OJ with the water. Thanks for this great recipe!

This is hands down my new favorite smoothie–Just like you, when I started making them a few years ago they all had to have some kind of milk/juice or yogurt or all three. These days I’m leaning toward the more juice like smoothies with lots of greens. This is better as good if not better than the speedy smoothies I’ve purchased at Jamba Juice.

I didn’t have peaches so I used some frozen pineapple chunks I had on hand. It didn’t need the maple syrup at all. And as a bonus–my picky hubby even liked it and requested I make it again! Thats means it must be really great!

Thank you for creating and sharing these amazing recipes. I’ve made so many thru the years. You are so talented and your website is terrific. :)

Yum! My first kale smoothie and my first smoothie with ginger, and it was really refreshing. I don’t like kale, but I know it’s good for me, and I loved this! I made it with mango and pineapple (because I didn’t have peaches). I think I like this better than the creamier smoothies (the ones with almond milk and/or nut butter). Thank you for a great recipe!

I didn’t have kale on hand, but I had the rest of the ingredients. It turned out amazing! Even if you don’t have kale, the smoothie is super delicious and refreshing! Great to have before a workout to boost energy!

Made this at 5.30 am before Pilates. Delicious!

This recipe is delicious!! So refreshing + healthy. :) I didn’t have any frozen peaches, so I used a banana, I also used oat milk to make it creamier, and I added 1 tbsp of ground flax seed. I love it, definitely my new go-to morning smoothie!

This is delicious! Light and healthy, tart but slightly sweet. I’ve been into the chocolate peanut butter banana shake on the blog lately, which is delicious, but with the summer heat this smoothie feels more up my alley right now. I didn’t have frozen peaches and used all mango. Yummm.

Love it! I added two extra tablespoons of coconut sugar on top of the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, since we wanted a little more sweetness. It tastes better than the Greens and Ginger smoothie from Jamba Juice, and especially healthier since we can control the amount of sugar. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a recipe before. Even when I really enjoy something, it just never occurs to me to write a review, but I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on this one. As someone who makes smothies ALL the time, I have to say that this recipe is fantastic! I’ve made it a few times now, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser. It even tolerates small substitutions well (nectarines for peaches, beet greens for kale, etc.), and it’s really helping me to make use of all the extra greens in our garden!

I’ve made several green ginger smoothies but not as tasty as this one, it was delicious! This recipe is definitely a great recipe to experiment with. Thank you

delicious!!

Really enjoyed this smoothie! Tart and gingery and delicious! Thanks!!

Best smoothie ever! I used kale from my garden, and it tasted so good with the sweet fruit and the hot ginger. This will be my new standard smoothie recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

This was almost spot on to the Jamba Juice version!! I just had one about a week ago that was sweeter, so I actually had to add 2 Tbsp of maple syrup. I don’t think my fruit was as ripe as it could’ve been. But this is A GREAT knock off!!!! Thanks Dana for creating this recipe!!!! Hats off to you!!!!

Simple and delicious, thanks for the recipe! :)

So delicious! I did find it a little too tart, so I halved the amount of lemon juice. My kids love it, too!

Delicious! Bright, citrusy flavors and some good greens to start your day. This has become my favorite pick-me-up smoothie! I also love that it has no banana, just because smoothies are always so banana-heavy. If you like ginger, you’ll love this!

I’ve never added lemon to my smoothies before, but the flavor combo of lemon + ginger is addicting! Thanks for the recipe!

I have been drinking this smoothie almost everyday for about 2 weeks. I wasn’t crazy about the ginger at first, but I persevered because I am always having mild digestive issues and I knew ginger could help. I crave it now. I am already thinking about the one I will have tomorrow. ;)

It’s a little astringent for me because I probably added too much kale. Even so, it’s quite good. I may just tweek the fruit/Kale ratio a bit next time or add a little more maple syrup. I definitely appreciate that it is not as saccharine as the Jamba version. ?

Minimalist baker is my GO TO for vegan recipes. I can always trust that a recipe will be good. This smoothie was no different!! I was craving a green smoothie and I had some ginger to use, so this was the perfect recipe for me. It’s soooooooo good! I didn’t add any maple syrup because I like my smoothies tart. It’s so difficult to find a smoothie somewhere that doesn’t add a ton of sugar, so why not just make it yourself?

This is so delicious, easy and really fast to make! Love the Ginger in this smoothie!

Thank you so much for the recipe. I love the Jamba Juice version but it is far too sweet with 60 g of sugar. I appreciate your creating this recipe with no added sugar and less desired.

This is the first green smoothie I’ve made and it was delicious! I used a power greens blend from the salad section, ginger, fresh squeezed lemon, no added sugar frozen mango, and added some chia seeds to it as well. I have a major sweet tooth but, I did not put any sweetener and it was still perfectly sweet and tart. Thanks for this perfect recipe!

I used spinach instead of kale..what I had on hand. Organic mango juice (from Costco) as the base, spinach, frozen peaches, fresh grated ginger as specified, and mixed it up! It was delicious!! Tasted like the greens and ginger at Jamba. Family like it a lot!! ? Thank you!!

So yummy!! It tastes just like the Jamba Juice smoothie. Thanks for the recipe.

Yum!! We loved this!! I used a sliced apple instead of peaches. So good!

I made this today w some additions. It was a great base! I added a few slices of cucumber, a nub of celery, some mint leaves, and a little greek yogurt and hemp protein to make it a little more filling. Not sure if it was my additions or my blender but it came out a little thick, so I ate it as a smoothie bowl. Amazing flavor!

My husband and I love this smoothie! Just made it on Sunday for the first time and we’re already hooked ;) The balance of flavors is perfect, and it’s so light and refreshing!

This recipe is great! I love it! Not quite as sweet as Jamba Juice, but I like it more. You’ve heard of dump meals, well I made this into a dump smoothie. I put all ingredients except the fresh lemon juice and water in ziplocks and froze them for morning smoothies. No ice required, but perhaps I’ll need a little more water. :-) Thanks Dana!

Made this for breakfast this morning. We weren’t too crazy about the ginger flavour, but nice to know it is very healthy.

I was looking for a refreshing and detoxifying green smoothie this morning, and when I saw a result come up from you, I knew I had to try it! I subbed spinach since my kale wasn’t washed. Will have to try with kale for its detox properties next time, but this was AWESOME! Exactly what I was looking for. I’ll be adding this to my regular smoothie rotation, thanks for always bringing us the best recipes, Dana!

One word…DELISH!! I love this!

I was looking for a smoothie which was healthy and had flavor. Then I came across this one. I was a little hesitant with the ginger but it is actually really good. I make this every day.

Another five star recipe Dana! Love it! I had to sub spinach for the kale but no big deal there. The mango with lime juice is delicious and so refreshing. And a dash of ginger to keep you guessing. I made a batch and saved half for my husband tomorrow. I’m curious to see what he says.

Thank you for making smoothie recipes that use whole fruits and veggies. So good and I feel so good! I’m addicted to your recipes! :)

This was delicious! Though I didn’t have any peaches.

Delicious smoothie recipe! It’s going to now be one of my go to green smoothie recipes! I added mint for a nice refreshing finish and it tasted great!

This is my new favorite smoothie recipe! I’ve been making it every day since I found it on your blog. I love how easy it is, and it’s super refreshing and energizing. Thank you!! <3

This is a great smoothie, I even add apples, banana and turmeric!!
