Ok, so now what? I made a shake with frozen fruits (mixed fruit) and cream cheese. It's what I had, and it tasted really good. I was wondering about other recipes/ ideas.

    possibilities are endless - fruit smoothies, over cereal, in baking etc.


    Will probably be more restricted by the flavour you got rather than combinations - I, for example, have a cookies & cream one and I'm not tempted to mix that in with fruits. haha.
