Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under running water. Trim the ends and cut each stalk into 3-inch segments.
Peel and dice the fresh mango into small cubes. Reserve a few cubes for garnish if desired, and place the rest in a mixing bowl.
In the mixing bowl, use a fork or spoon to mash the diced mango into a smooth pulp. Itβs okay if a few small mango chunks remain for texture.
Add the softened cream cheese, honey, lime juice, and chopped fresh mint into the mango pulp. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each celery segment with the mango-cream cheese mixture. Be sure to spread the filling evenly and slightly above the edges to create an appealing presentation.
If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts and/or a few reserved mango cubes on top of the stuffed celery for garnish.
Arrange the mango stuffed celery bites on a serving platter and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up slightly.
Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious and healthy snacks!
