Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks thawed slightly if too hard
- 1 cup carrot peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt non-fat or low-fat

Notes
Storage: Best consumed fresh. If needed, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—stir before serving as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Pre-chop carrots and grate ginger, storing them separately in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Substitutions: Use coconut milk for a dairy-free option, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for vegan, or replace honey with agave. Add spinach or kale for extra greens without altering flavor significantly. Serving: Garnish with a thin carrot slice or mint sprig for presentation.
