Fruity Frozen Desert

At the moment, I don't have exact amounts.  Sorry, I was in a hurry last night, was famished, and just THREW stuff into the blender and called it good.  I'll have to work those details out later.

1.  In order, directly into the blender:

About 1/2 C Silk Soy Milk or Silk Soy Creamer (French Vanilla)
About 1 C Silk or Almond Breeze Vanilla Almond Milk, unsweetened
1 lb fresh strawberries, stems removed
6 or 8 frozen strawberries (cubed, and stems removed, before freezing)

2.  Start by blending on low, until strawberries are chopped, then gradually increase until the blender is on it's highest setting, and blend for 1 minute.  Strain this liquid mixture into a large bowl, rinse out the blender thoroughly, then pour the strained mixture back into the blender.

3.  Add directly into the blender:

2 Bananas, "coined" (1" slices)
2 heaping teaspoons Dagoba Fair Trade Cocoa
2 heaping tablespoons any fair trade sugar (crystals if you can get them)
a few drops fair trade vanilla
3 tablespoons any almond butter

1.  Start with a low or chop setting on your blender.  Gradually increase speed to medium, once bananas are chopped well.  Stop every minute or so to more thoroughly mix everything with a rubber spatula.

2.  Drink what you want, and freeze the rest.  Use a metal bowl covered with plastic wrap for the freezing portion.  About every half hour after putting the mixture in the bowl in the freezer, use the rubber spatula to scrape the insides of the metal bowl and thoroughly mix the more frozen parts into the more liquid parts.  Repeat this 3 times.  Transfer the mixture into a plastic container (with a lid), mix well, then continue freezing for a half hour and mixing it between freezings until the frozen desert is the consistency of soft serve.  Serve immediately.  Mixture can be frozen on the long term, but may need to be scooped out and re-blended before serving again.
