UNICORN FRAPPE

Yield: 2 servings

Active Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 22 minutes

INGREDIENTS

For the strawberry sauce

• 1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced in half
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon honey

For the frappe

• 2 scoops Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel, Vanilla Coconut
• 1 cup vanilla coconut yogurt
• 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup ice
• 6 drops natural blue food coloring (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the strawberry sauce

Add strawberries, water, and honey to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until strawberries break down and liquid has thickened a bit. When cool, blend until smooth.

Make the frappe

In a blender, add Collagen Fuel, yogurt, almond milk, and bananas. Blend until smooth. Add blue food coloring (if using) and ice, then blend just until combined and ice is still slushy. In a tall glass, smear 2 tablespoons of strawberry sauce around the inside of the glass in a circular motion. Gently fill the glass with the yogurt mixture. Drink immediately.
