Strawberry Banana Beet Ice Cream
Serves 1-2
1 frozen banana (freeze when very ripe)
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ of a beet
Unsweetened almond milk, enough to blend
Splash sweetener, if desired
toppings
Blueberries
Strawberries
Raspberries
Coconut flakes
Slice very ripe bananas and place in freezer along with the strawberries, preferably overnight. Pour a generous splash of the almond milk into the blender (you will need to use more if you are not using a high speed blender). Throw in the frozen banana, frozen strawberries, and beet. Blend until you achieve an ice-cream like consistency. You can play with your desired fruit to almond milk ratio depending on how thick you like it.
Top with blueberries then alternate red berries with coconut flakes to create the most patriotic smoothie bowl! Enjoy!
