Second time not as sugary I’d say.

Tried the same with these changes.  Definately better.
190 mango
220 avacado
 
5/17/25
100 g of kale.
One so delicious! Vanilla yogurt cup
Half a cup of water
Tried 168 g of mango after melting off the ice but didn't like the taste so added 101. Taste still isn't that great but realized I forgot the avocado. Next time I will add avocado, add 100 g of mango and if I need to, some banana to sweeten it up afterwards. After I'm done, this recipe needs a complete redo.
