I developed this recipe using frozen berries but I think fresh berries would work as well. I had a small amount of several kinds of berries in my freezer and wanted to make something delicious and healthy for dessert. Any berries will work. I used stevia “Truvia” to sweeten it. A couple of tablespoons of sugar would work too, but I wanted to lower the calories. Sweeten to taste. After you have combined all of the ingredients you could stir in banana slices if you like and chill. I have made this with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries so far.
