Recipe FAQs
To dice a mango simply stand it up lengthwise and take a sharp knife to cut off the flat sides of the mango. You will have two oval pieces of mango with skin on the outside. Score the mango flesh into a checkerboard pattern. Then stand the scored mango on its side and turn it a little inside out so that the mango skin is flat. Cut down the mango skin to separate the skin from the fruit and you will have mango cubes.
People often blend mango with bananas or tropical fruit like pineapple, papaya or guava.

There isn’t as big of a difference as you would think. Greek yogurt is strained more times than regular yogurt which removes more of its liquid. This causes it to be thicker but also allows for it to contain more protein than regular yogurt.
