Notes

- To make it vegan, use coconut yogurt or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- For a sweeter smoothie, use a very ripe banana or add a drizzle of honey.
- If you don’t have frozen mango, freeze fresh mango chunks ahead of time for the best texture.
- Optional toppings: coconut flakes, flaxseed, hemp seeds, sliced fresh fruit.
