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!

    It looks like the bunnies are trying to steal a drink. :)

    This looks good, nice and thick! I like that you're creative w/your food instead of just tossing it.

    Wow, Lizy! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and resourcefulness. I would have just looked at that cheese, said oh well and tossed it...but you made dessert!

    Love the pic of the bunnies enjoying your treat!

    I have to admit that I never buy Mangos because I never know what to do with them. Now that you've got me drooling, they're on my list.

      Mangoes can be tricky Karen...not all of them are good for either smoothies or salads or sometimes eating! Where I grew up we had 5 different kind of mangoes growing in our back yard so I learned to recognize the difference between them so if you want to play it super safe, just buy 1 or 2...they go a long way when it comes to preparation and if they don't work for your dish at least you haven't spent much money. You are going to like this recipe for sure :)
