3 Simple Recipes Made Fantastic with Frooze Balls

When we began making Frooze Balls, we started with all natural, non-GMO, vegan ingredients, but we knew that the whole would be more than the sum of its parts. Yet, like any curious cooks, we always pondered what our Frooze Balls would be like as an ingredient themselves. Would a recipe with 10 Frooze Balls be 10 times as delicious as a single Frooze Ball? (Spoiler: Probably) We looked out over the waters surrounding Auckland and ruminated on this wild idea.

Then, like any self-respecting scientists, we took our gastronomic inquiry to the internet and asked our Instagram followers what they thought. The results were so radical, we had to share them with you here. Read on to find three simple recipes that harness the power of Frooze Balls to elevate these excellent dishes.
