Ingredients

  

• 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and quartered

Method

 

1. Place the strawberries and blueberries into the blender
   1 cup fresh strawberries, 1 cup blueberries
   
2. Add the orange juice, Greek yogurt, and honey to the blender bowl
   1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey
   
3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy, about 30-45 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. Transfer half of the blended mixture into a glass or bowl for the red layer.
   
4. Wash the blender and then pour the heavy cream and sugar into it. Whisk or blend until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes, until the cream is thick and billowy.
   1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon sugar
   
5. Spoon the whipped cream evenly over the red berry layer to form the white stripe of the flag.
   
6. Gently pour the remaining berry mixture over the whipped cream to create the blue field. Use a small spoon or spatula to slightly spread it out, forming the blue canton.
