Copy-Cat Wendy's Frosty
I love Wendy's frosties. I especially like them with french fries. The combination of sweet and salty, hot and cold is just so good! Unfortunately, they're really bad for you with lots of sugar and empty calories. Now you can have a Wendy's frosty whenever you want and without the guilt! I found this recipe on Pinterest and it's from Meals & Moves. It's healthy, delicious, and really tastes like the real thing!
The recipe calls for xanthan gum and guar gum. I honesty don't know
what that stuff is and I wasn't about to spend a lot of time looking
for it at the store. I did have the soy protein powder because I like to make healthy chocolate milkshakes. I crush some ice cubes in a blender then add a cup of milk, a banana, and a scoop of chocolate soy powder. Blend it all together in the blender and it's really good. It's not quite a Wendy's chocolate frosty because you can really taste the banana, but it's still pretty good.
Here's what you need for Wendy's frosty recipe:
Ingredients
15 ice cubes
3/4 cup (6 oz.) almond milk
1 scoop of chocolate soy protein powder
Directions
Use the blender to crush the ice.
Add the soy milk and protein powder.
Mix until smooth (about a minute). If the frosty is too thick, add a little bit more soy milk until it's the right consistency.
Thanks for the idea! My husband is going to be so excited when I show this to him!
ReplyDeleteYum! A new way to enjoy my morning protein drink. Now get back to work and copy the fries :>)
ReplyDeleteHa-ha-ha! I'm on it Donna!

Thanks for inviting me over to your party! I linked up.
DeleteMe too!!!! A frosty and fries, amazing. While I am not sure about xanthan gum, guar gum is a natural thicker, you can get at Mountain Rose Herbs. I have not used yet, but hope to in the future when my huckleberries come in to make jelly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at Tuesdays With a Twist, I look forward to reading more blogs from you.
Thanks Joyce! I didn't use either one in the recipe, but it was still yummy!
DeleteOh yum! We don't have Wendys in the UK, but I have to try this. Pinning :)

This actually sounds healthy! Amazing --- frosty and healthy in the same sentence. I love frosties, too. Gotta try this. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's almost too good to be true!
DeleteHaha. When I saw your submission to the Lady Behind the Curtain link party I clicked on it while thinking "rats, I just started my diet on Monday!" And then I saw the ingredients and thought "yay!" I can totally make this and keep within my caloric boundary. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Lori!

Looks so good! So should I pin it for a treat idea, or a healthy idea? ;)
ReplyDeleteKate
Don't you hate it when you have something that will fit on more than one board? Sometimes I just pin it twice (once on each board)
DeleteCan you believe that I am 1 of probably about 2 people in the world who don't like Frosties? lol! Lots of people will love this. I know my grandies would. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I love Frosties too. When I was in college, my friends and I would go to Wendy's late at night because they were open 'til midnight. All-nighters would be accompanied by a Frosty.:) Thanks so much for linking up to Inspire Me Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteFrosty's are one of my husband and my favorite treats :) How great that we can make them at home! Thanks so much for linking up to All My Bloggy Friends!
ReplyDeleteYum! Frosty's are my favorite! I learned in college that the best thing ever is to dip your fries in your Frosty. I thought the idea was gross at first, but once I tried it I realized it was delicious and I've been doing it ever since! In case you didn't see it earlier, I featured this today on my blog, so stop by and grab a Featured button if you don't already have one! http://practicallyfunctional.net/2013/04/9-creative-ideas/

I've seen this so much but never thought it'd turn out so well. You're motivating me to try it!!
ReplyDeletePinterest is incredibly addicting, isn't it? I'm now following you on Pinterest (@justByou) and GFC (2justByou). And, yes, I pinned this post. =0)
ReplyDeleteMy family LOVES Wendy's frosties, so this is a MUST-Try for me.

Yes, Pinterest is VERY addicting! I spend way too much time there! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI had no idea this could be so easy! I have the ingredients on hand so I will be trying this out. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteA Frosty was our treat of choice when I was a kid... I like your healthy spin on it. I was surprised to see that I already make a similar shake like this on busy days, though I use different protein mixes than the one you picture. You're right; not quite a Frosty...but they feel (and taste) really good. Thanks for sharing your cool idea. Lynaea @ EveryDayBloom.com
ReplyDeleteSounds great AND healthy :) Thanks for sharing with us at Weekend Wonders! Hope you're having a great week!
