01 - 2 cups plain Skyr (Icelandic yogurt)

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together Skyr, almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
03 - Combine the diced mango with lime juice and optional maple syrup. Blend half of the mixture to form a puree, leaving the rest as small mango cubes.
