Pro Tips for Perfect Mango Smoothie

• Use Frozen Mango for Extra Thickness: Frozen mango adds thickness and creates a creamy, ice-cold texture without the need for extra ice.
• Adjust Sweetness: If your mango is super sweet, you may not need any added sweetener. Taste before adding more!
• Blend in Extras: Boost the nutrition with a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or a handful of spinach for added vitamins.
• Milk Options: If you want a richer smoothie, use coconut milk or full-fat yogurt. For a lighter option, almond or oat milk work great.
