Notes

*Swap the frozen raspberries for another frozen fruit such as strawberries for your jelly flavor.

*If you only have fresh fruit and don’t want to wait to freeze more, add some ice cubes to your raspberries for a more smoothie-like consistency.

*Swap one banana for 1/2-1 cup of frozen cauliflower for a serving of vegetables, but note that it will slightly reduce the sweetness of the peanut butter layer.

*Substitute another liquid sweetener, such as agave nectar, to make this vegan.
