Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Place the following into a high-speed blender:
-
- Frozen banana
- Almond milk
- Chocolate protein powder
- Cocoa powder
- Sweetener (if using)
- Ice cubes
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed.
The mixture should become thick, creamy, and silky.
Step 4: Adjust Consistency
If the Frosty is too thick:
- Add a splash of almond milk.
If it’s too thin:
- Add extra ice or a few more frozen banana pieces.
The ideal texture should be thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Pour into a chilled glass or bowl.
Serve immediately while thick and frosty.
For the ultimate experience, grab a spoon instead of a straw.
