Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate protein powder, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of ice, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (if desired).
- In a blender, add the chocolate protein powder. This will serve as the base flavor of your Frosty.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This will provide a creamy texture and help blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Add 1/2 cup of ice to the blender. This will chill the mixture and give it a thick, frosty consistency.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. This step is optional but recommended for a richer taste.
- If you like a nutty flavor, add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. This will also increase the protein content and make the Frosty more filling.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are well combined and the texture is smooth and creamy.
- Check the consistency of the Frosty. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired thickness.
- Once blended to your liking, pour the mixture into a glass. You can use a spoon to scrape down the sides of the blender to get all the delicious Frosty.
- Enjoy your homemade Wendy's Chocolate Frosty Protein Style immediately, or you can place it in the freezer for a few minutes for an extra chill.
Tips
- Choose Your Protein: Opt for a high-quality chocolate protein powder that you enjoy, as it will greatly influence the flavor of your Frosty.
- Customize the Creaminess: If you prefer a thicker Frosty, reduce the amount of almond milk or add more ice. For a thinner consistency, simply add a splash more almond milk.
- Get Creative with Flavors: Feel free to experiment by adding other ingredients like a banana for natural sweetness or a scoop of your favorite nut butter for added flavor and nutrition.
- Chill Before Serving: For an extra frosty experience, place your finished Frosty in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to achieve that perfect chill.
- Blend It Right: Blend on high speed until smooth, but keep an eye on the texture. A few extra seconds can make a big difference in achieving that creamy consistency.
- Garnish for Presentation: Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or even some crushed nuts for an appealing finish that’s Instagram-worthy!
