Notes
Use ripe fruit for best flavor. If mango is underripe, add more banana for sweetness. Add liquids gradually to avoid watery smoothie. Fresh lime juice brightens flavors. Ginger is optional but adds a subtle kick. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
