My daughter recently earned a Summer Reading prize out our local library. The prize was a Wendy’s Frosty. She looked at the coupon and said “Mom, what’s a Frosty?” Part of my heart sunk…. I realized she had never stepped foot in a Wendy’s! I banned Wendy’s while pregnant with her, as a Wendy’s meal (baked potato and side salad) was the only meal that ever made me throw up during my gestational period with her. But plants have a way of providing us everything we need, without fake fillers, preservatives, refined this and thats, animal by-products, and we still get tasty sweet treats like… a Frosty. … just better…. my daughter asked me to put this recipe on my blog, so here it is!
Vegan Frosty
sorry, Wendy, but this tastes just as good and is dairy free
Ingredients
- 3 ripe, spotted bananas, peeled (You can use frozen bananas, just omit the ice cubes and add a little extra liquid to help blend evenly)
- 3 medjool dates (pits removed), soaked for 15-20 minutes to rehydrate and soften them (smoother consistency in finished product).
- 3-4 Tbsp plant milk (I use Alpha-Omega Milk or Creamy Cashew Milk) If you have weak digestion, you can leave this out and replace with water. Still tastes great!
- Ice (as much as desired)
- 1/2 – 1 Tbsp cacao powder
Directions
- put ingredients except cacao powder in a blender, with the soft bananas and liquid closest to the blade. Blend until smooth, then add the cacao powder.
- Enjoy!
