No disagreement on raspberries, but your comment makes me think you might like mangos in plain yogurt. The tartness of the yogurt works beautifully with the extreme sweetness of the mango. It tastes like a fresher more balanced version of flavored yogurts. So if you're into the flavor of mango, but the sweetness is off-putting, this could be a way to still enjoy them.

The extreme sweetness is still a problem for me. I love raspberries in plain high-fat yogurt but I realize it might be a bit much for most palates in terms of extreme tartness and lack of sweetness.

The best way to eat a ripe mango IMHO is chilled, with a good shake of Tajín, a tiny sprinkle of salt, and the juice of one lime squeezed over. Even better with some cut melon pieces as well for "street fruit," but mango is the essential base.
