This Valentine Breakfast Nice Cream Bowl ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! Here’s everything to make your taste buds dance:
- 3 large ripe bananas, frozen and sliced (The creamy base is all about these frozen bananas—they’re the secret behind that silky texture)
- 1 cup mixed berries, frozen (Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries—the more color, the better!)
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup (Sweetens just right without overpowering)
