Lola shows us how to recreate her favourite recipes at home, as demonstrated on the new Electrolux Masterpiece Bronze Collection™ in the Electrolux Taste Theatre at Taste of Melbourne.

Ingredients
1 frozen banana
150 g ( 1 cup) frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup, coconut nectar or dates)
625 ml (2 ½ cups) almond milk

Method
Pop your ingredients into the Electrolux Masterpiece Collection Jug Blender and whizz until you have the consistency you like. 'I love mine thick and smooth, but you can always add a little extra liquid if these are too thick."

Electrolux tip: Start off with the ice crushing setting of the Masterpiece Collection Jug Blender to blend through the frozen fruit and finish off with the smoothie setting to get a smooth consistency.
