NOTES:

* Sunflower seeds and tahini can be swapped for any kind of nuts and nut butter if you can tolerate them.
** Blooming the gelatin helps the gelatin dissolve giving a much smoother result. This can be done in a few tablespoons of water while preparing the mango, or once the mango is blended sprinkle the powder on top and wait about 5 minutes before turning on the stovetop.
