Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather 2 cups of diced frozen mango, 1 small frozen banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Also, set aside a few thawed mango cubes and fresh mint or basil leaves if you plan to garnish.

Notes
- For a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk gradually while blending.
- Use any milk substitute or dairy milk if preferred; adjust liquid quantity accordingly.
- Frozen fruit ensures a chilled smoothie without the need for ice, preserving flavor and texture.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; for a dairy-free version, substitute with a plant-based yogurt.
- If you like it sweeter, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the blender.
