Start by peeling and chopping your ripe mango into small chunks, making it easier to blend smoothly.
Add the mango chunks to your blender along with the ice cubes, creating a vibrant, icy mixture.
Pour in water or coconut water to help the blades blend everything smoothly, if needed.
Squeeze in a teaspoon of lime juice to brighten the flavors and add a hint of tang.
If you like your slushie sweeter, sprinkle in a little sugar or honey, then secure the lid and blend on high speed.
Blend until the mixture is thick, frosty, and has a smooth, slightly granular texture from the crushed ice — listen for the icy crunch!
Pour the icy mango mixture into glasses, watching the bright orange color settle into a rich, frosty layer.
If desired, garnish with a small slice of mango or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the refreshing, crunchy texture and tropical flavor of your mango slushie.
