Instructions

- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust consistency: add milk if too thick, or more frozen mango/ice if too thin.

- Step 4 – Serve
- Pour into chilled glasses or jars.
- Optional toppings: fresh mango slices, chia seeds, coconut flakes, or a mint sprig.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
