Raspberry Sorbet with Pink Champagne Recipe
Above: Executive Chef Ned Bell serves bike blended Raspberry Sorbet w/ Pink Champagne to hungry guests.
From the Chef:
This is an incredibly easy recipe!
We make all our own Sorbets here at the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver, but you should just buy some excellent raspberry or strawberry sorbet from Bella Gelateria…
In the bottom of your Blender Bike, add:
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 1 cup frozen but soft sorbet
- 1 cup of your favorite sparkling wine!
I love BC sparkling like Sumac Ridge or Blue Mountain! Rose Bubbles are perfect for a warm spring or hot summer afternoon of evening treat!
Spin like a mad man (or woman) to incorporate well!
Serve in a mason jar and top with some additional fresh berries, some fresh mint, a wedge of lime and bit more bubbles poured on top! Enjoy!
Here’s an excerpt of the evening’s recap:
Fresh Raspberry Sorbet – made with the Vega Blender Bike!
The highlight of the night (for us and everyone else at YEW that night) was this fresh raspberry sorbet! Chef Bell blended a “special” vegan dessert just for us– and by blended, we mean “cycled” using the infamous Vega Blender Bike. Not only were we entertained throughout dessert, but we thoroughly enjoyed the layering of this treat. Dehydrated strawberries on bottom added beautiful texture. And the sparkling rose that accompanied the sorbet really hit the spot.

Recipe: Nut Butter from a Bike Blender
Nut butter is packed with protein and can be a healthier alternative to smoothies.
Above: Cashew nut butter freshly pureed with Pedal Power!
Ingredients:
At least 4 ounces of your raw nut of choice (cashew, almond, pecan, etc.)
If you desire roasted nut butter put a layer of nuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Stir once or twice to prevent burning.
Puree It In Your Pitcher:
Pour raw or roasted nuts in your High Performance pitcher and begin pedaling. It’s that easy!
If it feels like it’s getting caught up on the edges of the pitcher you can use a little water to help the blending process. You can also scrape down the edges in between blending to help. It should be completely mixed in about 10 minutes. Raw nuts require a little more pedaling.
You can serve up as is, or mix in salt, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. for a little extra flavor.
Watch the Fossil Fool blend it on the Fender Blender Pro (High Performance). Nut butter starts at 3:23:

Something Good in the World’s Holiday Craft Fair sold more fruit smoothies at our fundraiser than ever before, thanks to the bike blender
At Something Good in the World‘s Energy of Youth Concert, teenagers performed and raised enough funds to purchase a Bike Blender from Rock the Bike. Every year, the Blue Star Youth Movement members make delicious organic fruit smoothies for Something Good in the World’s Holiday Craft Fair, and this year, anyone who wanted a smoothie had to ride the bike blender to make their own! This video features Blue Star member Violet Kravitz on the bike:
We’ll be writing more about it in our newsletter in the spring, and basically we are thrilled with the kit and delighted to have worked with you! We sold more fruit smoothies at our fundraiser than ever before, because so many kids wanted to ride the bike. And since our bike didn’t fit your stand, we hooked it up to our Pedal-a-Watt system, and so the kids generated electricity and lit up lightbulbs at the same time as they blended the smoothies! It was a total win-win situation. Talk about sustainable living practices!…
All the best,
