Equipment

High-powered blender essential for the thickest consistency
Tamper or blender stick Helps blend without adding extra liquid
Beautiful bowls for serving coconut bowls work great!
Sharp knife For slicing fruit toppings
Measuring cups and spoons For accurate ingredient portions

Ingredients

For the Base:

2 frozen bananas Chopped into chunks
1 cup frozen berries of choice strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries
½ cup cup Greek yogurt Optional, for creaminess
¼ cup milk of choice almond, coconut, or regular
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, for sweetness
1 scoop protein powder Optional, for extra protein

Suggested Toppings:

Fresh fruits (sliced banana, berries, kiwi)
Granola
Chia seeds
Hemp seeds
Coconut flakes
Almond butter
Fresh mint leaves
Cacao nibs

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Make sure your bananas and berries are completely frozen (at least 6 hours or overnight)
Gather all your toppings before blending, as you'll want to serve immediately
Have your coconut bowl or serving bowl ready

Step 2: Create the Perfect Base

Add frozen bananas and berries to your high-powered blender
Pour in Greek yogurt and just a splash of milk (start with less, you can always add more)
Add protein powder and sweetener if using
Blend on low speed initially, using your blender's tamper if available
Gradually increase speed, scraping down sides as needed
Add tiny splashes of milk only if necessary - the key to thickness is using minimal liquid

Step 3: Achieve the Right Consistency

Blend until smooth but still very thick - it should be spoonable, not drinkable
The mixture should resemble soft-serve ice cream
If too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time
If too thin, add more frozen fruit

Step 4: Assembly and Presentation

Immediately transfer to your serving bowl
Arrange toppings in sections for the most aesthetic appearance
Start with larger items like sliced fruits
Fill spaces with smaller items like seeds and nuts
Finish with a drizzle of almond butter or honey
