Small squeeze of lime
Method
Add frozen mango to a high-speed blender.
Pour in 100ml kefir and begin blending. Stop to stir and/or add more kefir as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Tips & Techniques
Blender tips: Depending on the power of your blender, you may need to stop and stir the mixture a few times or add more kefir to help it blend smoothly. If you prefer a thicker texture, use less kefir.
Texture control: For a soft-serve texture, enjoy the ice cream straight from the blender. For a firmer, scoopable texture, freeze the mixture for an hour or more before serving.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
Can I use a non-dairy kefir? Yes, non-dairy kefir works just as well in this recipe.
What if I don’t have kefir? You can substitute the kefir for Greek yogurt or any non-dairy yogurt.
