Instructions
- Chill a blender and prepare frozen mango chunks and orange juice for the first layer of the slushie.

Notes
- Swap frozen fruits with fresh ones by adding extra ice cubes to maintain the slushy texture.
- Try alternative sweeteners like stevia or maple syrup for different dietary needs.
- Use coconut water instead of orange juice for a lighter, more tropical flavor profile.
