The trick here is freezing the fruit ahead of time: because there is no ice, even a blender that can't crush ice handles it fine. You get a big, fruity, refreshing bowl. It works well after a workout or as a sweet snack.
Method
Freeze the banana, blueberries and raspberries in advance.
Add the milk and protein powder to the blender jar.
Add the frozen fruit on top.
Pulse the blender a few times to break up the fruit.
Keep blending until the mixture is smooth and thick like soft-serve.
Scoop into a bowl and eat right away before it melts.

Tips
- Portion and freeze the fruit as soon as you buy it, so you can make this whenever a craving hits.
- Don't add extra milk; as long as the fruit is frozen solid, the texture stays dense.
FAQ
Can I make it without an ice-crushing blender?
Yes. There is no ice in this recipe; the frozen fruit provides the chill and the body, so a standard blender is enough.
