Mango Cheesecake Freeze
Developed by our Health Nut and Registered Dietitian, Molly Morgan, this mango cheesecake freeze is a healthy way to enjoy a sweet treat! It’s refreshing, delicious, and can be made in a jiffy. The perfect treat for summer.
The base of the recipe is simply frozen mangoes and almond milk. Mangoes are rich in vitamins A and C, and retain high levels of these nutrients even when frozen. Combined with almond milk, the mango mixture is creamy and delicious, with a naturally sweet and vibrant tropical flavor.
Simply blend the frozen mangoes and almond milk until smooth.
Pour the mixture into the bottom of a glass jar or dish. You’re practically half-way done at this point!
For the next layer, you’ll need kefir, ice, vanilla yogurt, the remaining almond milk, and a dash of cinnamon. Kefir and yogurt are probiotic superstars! They provide an abundant source of probiotics, the beneficial bacteria that are essential to a healthy digestive system.
After you’ve blended these ingredients together, pour the mixture over the mango mixture. The sweetness of mango complements the tangy kefir-yogurt combination.
Finish it off with crumbly graham cracker goodness, and your mango cheesecake freeze is ready to enjoy!
