Let's cook
Use frozen fruit only
All the fruit going into the blender must be frozen solid. Fresh fruit plus ice gives you a watery, separating base that will not hold a single topping.
💡Freeze the banana in chunks the night before. This is the one thing that has to be planned.
Blend with almost no liquid
Add the frozen berries, banana, yoghurt, almond butter, maple syrup, and just 3 tablespoons of milk to a high-powered blender.
Use the tamper, not more liquid
Blend on high, stopping to scrape down and push the mixture into the blades with a tamper or spatula. Resist adding liquid — it should move like soft-serve, not pour.
💡Every extra splash of milk costs you thickness. Be patient with the scraping instead.
Spoon and smooth
Spoon into two chilled bowls and smooth the surface flat with the back of a spoon.
Top immediately
Arrange the granola, fresh berries, chia seeds, and coconut flakes on top and eat straight away, before it starts to melt.

📝 Tips, swaps, and make-ahead notes
Chilling the bowls in the freezer for ten minutes beforehand buys you several extra minutes before the base softens. If your blender struggles, let the frozen fruit sit out for exactly three minutes — no longer.
- •Vegan: Coconut yoghurt and any plant milk; the result is if anything creamier.
- •Nut-free: Sunflower seed butter or tahini in place of almond butter.
- •Protein boost: A scoop of vanilla protein powder blends in without thinning the base.
