Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 0.5 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 0.5 small frozen banana
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 0.25 cup grain-free granola
  • 4 fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions:

  1. Chill the vessel. Place your serving bowl in the freezer for 5 minutes. Note: A cold bowl prevents the edges from melting instantly.
  2. Layer the fruit. Place the 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries, 0.5 cup frozen mango, and 0.5 frozen banana into the blender.
  3. Add the catalysts. Pour in 0.25 cup Greek yogurt and exactly 3 tbsp almond milk. Note: Use the yogurt as a buffer between the fruit and the blades.
  4. Pulse the motor. Press the pulse button 5-7 times until the fruit is broken into small, gravel like pieces.
  5. Scrape the walls. Use a spatula to push the unblended fruit down toward the blades.
  6. High speed blend. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until the mixture looks like thick, swirled soft serve ice cream.
  7. Monitor the sound. Listen for a change from a rattle to a smooth hum which indicates the chunks are gone.
  8. Transfer the base. Scoop the thick mixture into your chilled bowl, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
  9. Garnish for texture. Top with 1 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp hemp hearts, and 0.25 cup granola.
  10. Final finish. Arrange the 4 sliced strawberries on top and serve immediately while the base is still firm.
