Add Sweetener and Ice :
Add honey or maple syrup if desired, along with ice cubes for a frosty texture.

Blend Until Smooth :

Adjust Consistency :
For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen mango or ice. If it’s too thick, add a bit more liquid.
Serve :
Pour into a glass, garnish with a mango slice, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
