Cheesecake Shake

Who doesn't love cheesecake? I certainly do. But there never seems to be a good time to eat it. It's too rich for the morning. It's too heavy for afternoon tea - an appetite for dinner killer. And it's too rich and heavy to follow most meals.

So I get my cheesecake fix through this drink. It's ligher on the stomach and lighter on the guilt as its yoghurt based. Yes, there is a bit of cream but not much, and it can be replaced with milk with no reall ill effects. Most importantly, it is really delicious. I prefer it with lime, but lemon is also good.
