- Honey: A drizzle of honey sweetens naturally; you can reduce or replace with agave for a vegan version.
- Lime juice: A splash of lime brightens the mango and balances the coconut’s creaminess.
- Vanilla extract: A hint of vanilla deepens the flavor without overpowering the fruit.
- Sea salt: Just a pinch enhances the sweetness and mirrors the taste of tropical seas.
