Notes
- This is naturally dairy-free when using almond milk and pudding without milk solids.
- For a vegan version, make sure your pudding mix and sweetener are plant-based.
- Add more ice if you prefer a thicker, spoonable texture like the real Frosty!
Tips
- Use frozen almond milk ice cubes for an ultra-thick Frosty.
- For added protein, blend in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
- Want a mint-chocolate twist? Add a drop of mint extract and top with crushed sugar-free mint candy.
Serving Suggestion
Serve in a tall frosty glass with a straw or spoon. Great as a low-calorie dessert, post-workout snack, or a cooling treat on a hot day. Make it a Frosty float by adding a splash of diet soda for a fizzy treat!
