💡 Pro Tips

- ✓Use Greek yogurt at 35-40°F (straight from fridge) because warmer temperatures above 45°F cause protein separation when blended with acidic lemon juice.ingredient35-40°F
- ✓Add ice gradually while blending to maintain 28-32°F final temperature, which prevents mango enzymes from breaking down and creating a watery texture.technique28-32°F
- ✓Choose mangoes that yield slightly to pressure but aren't soft - they should contain 12-15% sugar content for optimal sweetness without requiring excess sweetener.ingredient12-15% sugar
