Pick your base: Use 1.5 to 2 cups of frozen mango as your main fruit. This gives you a thick, frosty texture.

Add creaminess: Blend in half a banana and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or skip yogurt and add a splash more milk.

Pour in liquid: Add 3/4 to 1 cup of milk of choice. Start with less, then add more to reach your preferred thickness.

Brighten the flavor: Add 2–3 tablespoons of orange or pineapple juice plus 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice for zing.

Sweeten if needed: Taste, then add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup if your mango isn’t very sweet.

Boost nutrition: Add 1 tablespoon chia or ground flax and a scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want extra fiber and protein.

Blend smart: Start on low to break up frozen fruit, then blend on high until silky. Scrape sides if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, add more frozen mango.

Finish and serve: Taste and adjust lime or sweetener. Pour into a chilled glass. For a fun touch, sprinkle chia seeds or add a mango slice on the rim.
