Notes
- For a vegan mango smoothie, replace the Greek yogurt with full-fat coconut milk frozen in ice cube trays to keep the smoothie extra thick and frosty.
- You can adjust the amount of almond milk to create either a thicker or more drinkable smoothie according to your preference.
- Fresh lime juice adds a bright citrusy note, but can be omitted or adjusted to taste.
