Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible chunks remaining.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour into two chilled glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Garnish with a slice of fresh mango if desired.
