Additional Notes

For a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the almond milk with Greek yogurt. Feel free to add other toppings like shredded coconut, nuts, or seeds for extra crunch and flavor. If mangoes are out of season, you can use frozen mango chunks or substitute with another fruit like peaches or berries.
