Want a skinny "frosty style" breakfast shake that tastes rich, creamy, decadent and healthy? If you love chocolate, almond butter, banana, then I think we like the same things. We are connecting! Yay!
I have been making a lot of smoothies and shakes lately, because of workouts and meal replacements and this shake is F-I-N-E Fine!
It's filling, decadently delicious, but low in calories. And this "particular" shake is really, really good for you. **BONUS** 🙂
Hey! It's dairy free and gluten-free too! 🙂 You can change it up with peanut butter, cashew butter or which ever 'nut butter' tickles your fancy. (You know...that sounds kind of funny, but 'it is what is is', right? LOL
For some other options, you could add in some frozen berries, flax or chia seeds for some extra anti-oxidants or add in a scoop of your favorite protein powder, Greek yogurt or some oatmeal for an extra punch of protein.

Sneh, because it has ice and frozen bananas in it, I am not sure? It won't be like after just blending it up so it's like a frosty. 🙁
I have just about begun my journey to detoxing, eating, living clean. I plan to make this yummy shake and take it to work in my sweet little mason jar glass that I carry my green tea in otherwise. But if i make this in the morning and consume it some 2-3 hours later as my mid morning or afternoon snack, would it still be as healthy and nutritious? (considering that you mentioned - consume immediately..)
Thanks for the recipe though..I am eager to try this out.
Mir, It really is, but it's all natural and no sugar, which is great for me, especially since I'm addicted to chocolate, so just another alternative! 🙂 Thanks so much for posting!
Looks like a great and healthy alternative to a Frosty!
