Notes
For a vegan version, substitute yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt and milk with a plant-based milk (like almond or coconut milk).
You can use fresh mango if frozen mango is unavailable; just add some ice cubes to achieve the frosty texture.
Adjust the amount of honey or sugar based on the sweetness of the mangoes used.
