Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If you must store, cover tightly and freeze for up to 2 hours before it loses its ideal texture. Make-ahead: Pre-portion all dry ingredients and frozen fruit into a bag for a quick blend. Variations: For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt. For extra protein, add a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Toppings: Recommended garnishes include fresh cherries, cacao nibs, slivered almonds, chia seeds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of almond butter.
