EQUIPMENT:

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 medium frozen banana, chopped into pieces
  • Half a cup of sugar-free almond milk/another low-point milk
  • Two teaspoons of cocoa powder without sugar
  • One teaspoon of vanilla essence
  • For creaminess, add one tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate pudding mix.
  • One tablespoon of erythritol, stevia, or other monk fruit sweetener (modify to taste)
  • Half a cup of fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 a cup of ice cubes

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Banana:

  • Employ a frozen ripe banana for a creamy, naturally sweet smoothie that will thicken the smoothie. The riper it is, the richer the flavour.

Milk:

  • Unflavored almond milk makes the drink low in calories and points. Oat, soy/skim milk can be replaced as well.

Cocoa powder:

  • Bitter cocoa powder brings the rich chocolate taste. Using dark cocoa gives you a stronger, deeper taste.

Yogurt:

  • Non-fat plain Greek yogurt provides thickness and adds protein without the extra fat. It also makes it so that it tastes like the creamy texture of a Frosty.

Pudding mix:

  • Not required, but it will assist in giving that silky texture. Sugar-free ones’ points are low.

Sweetener:

  • You may use any zero-point common sweetener. Taste and adjust according to how sweet your banana is.

Ice:

  • Ice contributes to a coolness and a volumisation.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Blend frozen banana chunks, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chocolate powder, dessert mix (if using), vanilla bean, sweetener, and ice.
  2. On high, mix till creamy, thick, & smooth.
  3. Scrape down the edges in case you needed.
  4. If you want a thicker Frosty-like texture, put it in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes.
  5. Halfway complete, stir.
  6. Serve right away with a straw/spoon.

TIPS:

  • Ice and frozen banana will make the best consistency, so don’t forget any of them.
  • Slightly decrease the milk or increase/put in more Greek yogurt to make it creamier.
  • To make a soft-serve type, freeze the blended Frosty after 30 minutes.
  • Modify the cocoa and sweetener to suit your taste for chocolate.
  • For a mocha flavor, add some espresso powder at no additional cost.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Keep leftovers in an sealed jar in the fridge for at least 24 hours. To keep the texture from getting thinner, Stir it thoroughly before

FREEZER:

  • Transfer the Frosty mixture into freezer-safe containers/popsicle molds to refreeze. When Frosty pops, savor it after it has solidified.

FAQs:

May I do this without a banana?

  • Yes. Add 1/2 cup crushed ice, 1/4 cup additional yogurt & add sweetener to taste.

Is protein powder an option?

  • Yes. Use half the amount of cocoa &add a bit less sweetener & use some chocolate protein powder.

Does this contain dairy?

  • It may. Choose milk and yogurt alternatives that are dairy-free.

Could I use normal milk?

  • Yes. Simply tally the markings in your tracker.

May be I make this Frosty ahead of time and save it?

  • Indeed! Although it is best consumed fresh, it may be frozen or kept in the fridge for a day. So that you can have an enjoyable treat later.
