Mango Milk Smoothie with Curd Swirl

1.Prepare the mango by peeling, pitting, and chopping it into small pieces.

2.In a blender, combine the chopped mango, cold whole milk, honey or sugar (if using), and ground cardamom. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

3.Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times to crush the ice, creating a chilled smoothie base.

4.Pour the smoothie mixture into serving glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.

5.Spoon the chilled plain curd (yogurt) gently over the top of each glass to create a swirl effect. Use a spoon or a skewer to lightly swirl the curd into the smoothie for a marbled appearance.

6.Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.

7.Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy this healthy, tropical mango milk smoothie with a creamy curd swirl.
