Step-by-Step Instruction
- Prepare the Mango: Begin by peeling the mango and removing the pit. Cut the mango flesh into small chunks.
- Blend the Mango: Pass the mango pulp through a sieve or blend it in a blender until smooth. This ensures a silky consistency for the milkshake.

- Check Consistency: If you prefer a thinner milkshake, you can add a bit more milk and blend again.
- Taste Test: Taste the milkshake to see if it needs any adjustments in sweetness. Add more honey or sugar if required and give it another quick blend.
