Start by measuring all the ingredients. If using fresh mango instead of frozen, cut the mango into cubes and freeze it for about 30 minutes to achieve a thicker smoothie texture. Remove the pit from the dried date so it blends easily.

Add the milk to the blender first, followed by the Greek yogurt, frozen mango chunks, pitted date, ground cardamom, and one tablespoon of hemp seeds. Placing liquids at the bottom helps the blender process frozen ingredients more smoothly.

Blend everything on high speed for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is thicker than desired, add a small splash of milk and blend again. For a colder smoothie, add ice cubes and blend briefly.

Pour the smoothie into a serving glass. Sprinkle the remaining hemp seeds or crushed pistachios on top for texture and presentation. Serve immediately while chilled and creamy.
