Instructions
- Peel and cube 2 large ripe mangoes (about 14 oz).

- Add 4 to 6 ice cubes depending on desired chill and thickness.

Notes
Use ripe, fragrant mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for best flavor. If using frozen mangoes, thaw slightly before blending. Adjust sugar to taste after blending. For vegan version, substitute yogurt and milk with coconut or almond milk varieties. Use chilled yogurt and cold milk to keep smoothie cold without diluting flavor with too much ice. Pulse blender briefly after adding ice to avoid frothiness.
