Strawberry Smash

Peel the banana and slice it into coins, then place the pieces in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.

Hull and halve the strawberries, then spread them on the same tray alongside the banana if not already frozen, and freeze until firm.

Remove the frozen banana slices and strawberries from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to slightly soften for easier blending.

Add the frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries to a high-powered blender or food processor.

Pour the sour mix over the frozen fruit, adding it gradually to control the tartness and achieve your desired flavor balance.

Blend or process the mixture on high speed, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the texture is smooth, thick, and creamy with no large chunks remaining.

Taste the mixture and adjust by adding more sour mix for tartness or a few extra banana slices for sweetness, then blend briefly to incorporate.

Serve the Strawberry Smash immediately in chilled bowls or glasses for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30-60 minutes for a firmer texture.
