2 carrots, chopped (about 1 cup)

¼ head cauliflower, chopped (about 1 cup)

1 ripe banana

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

1 cup strawberries, sliced, fresh or frozen

Optional:

2 cups ice cubes

Directions:

  1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment. Wash the produce and prepare it as detailed in the ingredients list.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a blender. Start on low speed, then increase to high. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and vibrant. If it’s a little too thick, add a bit more milk. For a slushy consistency, add the ice cubes. Blend on high until the ice is fully pulverized, creating a thick, chilled texture similar to a frozen frappe. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides if any stubborn bits remain. Taste, adjust and enjoy!
