WHAT IS A CHOCOLATE FROSTY?

A homemade chocolate frosty is a creamy blend of frozen bananas, cacao powder, and a few other ingredients. This healthy chocolate frosty is just like Wendy's chocolate frosty and will leave your sweet tooth satisfied!

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FROSTY AND ICE CREAM?

Ice cream typically has more milk fat than a frosty does. But, both are super sweet and creamy. My healthy frosty is made creamy with super ripe frozen bananas.

WHAT IS A CHOCOLATE FROSTY MADE OUT OF?

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE FROSTY INGREDIENTS

• Chia seeds are a nutrition powerhouse! The tiny seeds contain so many nutrients like calcium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus. They are an excellent source of fiber, protein, and fat, namely heart healthy omega-3 fats. And if all of that doesn’t make them great enough, they are also an excellent source of antioxidants! Those antioxidants protect the delicate omega-3 fats from going rancid.

• Cacao powder comes from cacao beans. In comparison to coco powder, the cacao is the raw and unprocessed coco bean. Meaning, you get all those benefits! They are an excellent source of a class of antioxidants called polyphenols. Polyphenols are also found in fruits, vegetables, tea, and wine. They help protect our bodies from toxins and age-related diseases.

• Soy milk compared to cows milk has about half the calories with similar nutrient composition. It is great for your bone health. Make sure you are choosing organic soy milk. Soy is one of the largest GMO crops in the United States.

• Bananas are one of the world’s most popular fruits for a reason! Not only are they delicious, but they are loaded with nutrients! They contain important nutrients like potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, magnesium, copper, manganese, and some fiber!

• Chocolate reishi collagen is great for your gut health! The collagen is good for your skin, hair, nails, and bones! Is is another source of super healthy cacao! It is also made with cancer fighting reishi mushrooms. Reishi has been used in Chinese culture for many years to help promote optimal health. Chocolate collagen takes a regular frosty to a chocolate protein frosty and is way better on your blood sugars!

TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST SUPER THICK HEALTHY CHOCOLATE FROSTY

MAKE THE CHIA PUDDING FIRST. Chia needs time to soak up water and get a pudding texture.

USE SUPER RIPE BANANAS. Super ripe bananas when frozen make the best sweet smoothie base.

SCRAPE DOWN BLENDER OR USE TAMPER. Keep pushing frozen banana down towards the blades until it is totally smooth and creamy.

USE CHOCOLATE PROTEIN POWDER, CHOCOLATE COLLAGEN, OR CACAO POWDER. This will give healthy dark chocolate flavor in your smoothie.

HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHY WENDY'S CHOCOLATE FROSTY AT HOME

Step 1: make the chia seed pudding (totally optional)

First, start by combining the chia seeds, the cacao powder, and the milk. You can substitute any type of milk you like in place of soy milk. Another substitute you can make is the cacao powder. Instead of cacao powder you can use coco powder, chocolate protein powder, or even ground up cacao nibs!

Stir a few times every 10 minutes to make sure it gels properly. Set aside.

Step 2: make the chocolate frosty smoothie

While your chia pudding continues to gel, you can make your thick and delicious smoothie! It really is like an ice cream texture. But, if you want to take it on the go, just add about 1 cup of milk.

In a blender, combine the bananas and the collagen. If you are not using milk, you may have to turn off your blender and stir it multiple times. But, not using any milk or liquid really gives it a thick fluffy texture that you want in this!

Once your frosty is combined, pile it high on top of your chia pudding and enjoy immediately!
