    Notes

    • Make ahead: Freeze mango chunks for quick morning prep
    • Too thick? Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time
    • Too thin? Add more frozen mango or a few ice cubes
    • Small blender? Blend in 2 batches - don't overcrowd!
    • Nut-free? Use oat milk or rice milk
    • Vegan? Use coconut cream for a fully vegan version.
    • Storage: Store in fridge for up to 24 hours in airtight jars. Shake well before drinking.
    • Freezer-friendly: Pour into freezer-safe containers, leave room for expansion, freeze up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
