If they are hard, leave them out for a few days to ripen. Adjust the sweetness to your taste. If you like it sweeter, add more honey or syrup. Blend, taste, and repeat until it’s just right for you. A powerful blender or food processor works best for this recipe. It should blend the mangoes and yogurt into a smooth, creamy mix.

Want to jazz up your bars? You can add extracts or spices. A splash of coconut extract gives a beachy vibe. Try adding a bit of cinnamon for a warm flavor. You can also mix in lime juice for a tangy taste. Each addition brings a new spin to the bars. Get creative and find your favorite combo! If you want a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt. Maple syrup is a great choice for sweetening. Use agave nectar or a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option.
