Prep Tip: If mixture starts to freeze up in the blender, just add a bit of water. If you like it thicker, add a few ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint, frozen berries, or both!
Change it Up: Experiment using different fruits, we like this recipe with peaches too. Pour into molds or paper cups for homemade Popsicles. Mash berries to make your own jam. Stir your favorite berries into low-fat yogurt for a tasty snack. Heat up berries for a great topping on pancakes or French toast. To make this a vegan recipe, substitute milk for your favorite nondairy milk such as soy, rice or nut milk.
Nutrition Tip: Berries are a leading source of antioxidants. Antioxidants help keep the immune system, skin, and hair healthy.
