A method and assembly for preparing a drink based on frozen food comprises storing frozen food in various containers (111) in the form of first granular materials and under deep-freeze conditions, crushing (12) a portion of at least one of the first granular materials into a second granular material, and placing the second granular material into a cup (9). A first liquid (16) is added to the cup at a temperature of at least 50° C. The cup, filled with the foods and possibly the first liquid, is closed (154), and the content of the cup is ground into a homogeneous mass. Lastly, the cup is opened and served.
Method (50) for preparing a drink based on frozen food, comprising:
Method according to any one of the foregoing claims, wherein the second granular material has a second average particle size that is smaller than a first average particle size of the corresponding first granular material.
Method according to any one of the foregoing claims, comprising adding (57) a second liquid into the cup after grinding (56) the second granular material and prior to opening (58) the cup.
Method according to any one of the foregoing claims, wherein a portion of each of several of the first granular materials from several of the plurality of containers is separately crushed into a corresponding second granular material, and is supplied to the cup.
Method according to any one of the foregoing claims, wherein the first granular material primarily consists of fruit and/or vegetables.
Method according to any one of the foregoing claims, wherein a mass ratio between the second granular material and the first liquid, and the temperature of the first liquid, are selected such that the drinkable mass has a temperature between 0° C. and 15° C. immediately following grinding.
