Mango Cheesecake Smoothie

Hello Friends and good day to you all! Moving on with my Spring cleaning I'm workig on my refrigerator.
There are not that many of unused or old items there since every Sunday I go through the whole thing cleaning and tossing out those things that I know are not going to get eaten..like....Wednesday's left over tuna casserole!
But there's always that elusive bottom drawer where things get to "hang around" a little longer...out of sight, out of mind sort of speak..and that's where I found a package of Neufchatel cheese that I bought by accident  last Friday and  a couple of very ripened mangoes (yes I've been on a Mango kick lately!) . So before my mangoes expire I'm using them to make a cheesecake on the go...you know...just like my Apple Pie Smoothie! I want to free some space for Easter's treats and Ham!
Here we go then!
 Mango Cheesecake Smoothie



1 (8zoz) container of mango yogurt (frozen)
1/2 cream (chilled) 
1 Cup Peach Nectar (frozen) 
4 oz Neufchatel Cheese

The Pulp of 2 Mangoes

In a blender combine the yogurt, cream, nectar and cheese until smooth. Add the mango pulp until everything is smooth and creamy.
Listo!

Don't you love a recipe with only a few ingredients but packed full of flavor!

I tell you, I can live the rest of my life just on smoothies like this...well I have to replace the cream with something else, but that's another story.

Think about flavor possibilities using this simple recipe...just change the fruit flavor, nectar and yogurt and you can have a different flavor for every day of the week!

If you are missing the crunch of the cheesecake graham crackers crust, no fear guys, it's thick enough for you to dunk your favorite cracker, mine of course Chocolate Graham Crackers!

 Or just crush  a couple of them and sprinkle some on top!

Thank You for visiting my friends, tomorrow we will tackle the pantry...wonder what I'm going to find there! Stay tuned!
