Mangoes: We use ripe, juicy mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness. The riper they are, the creamier your frozen yogurt will be.

Agave nectar: Adds just the right touch of sweetness without overpowering the mango. You can adjust to taste or swap for honey if you prefer.

Plain yogurt: We use plain yogurt here, but Greek yogurt will also work. Greek gives a thicker, tangier vibe, while regular yogurt keeps it light and refreshing.

Lime juice and zest: Fresh squeezed lime juice brightens the mango flavor and balances the sweetness. Garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest to add a pop of color and a subtle citrus aroma.
