Ingredients

  • 2 cups ice
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water)
  • 1/8 teaspoon liquid stevia

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Dissolve the instant espresso powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water to create a concentrated coffee mix.
  2. Step 2: Add the ice, unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, dissolved espresso, and liquid stevia to a blender.
  3. Step 3: Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately, or place it in the freezer for a thicker consistency and enjoy later.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Add a handful of spinach or avocado for extra nutrients without changing the flavor much.
  • Adjust stevia to taste or use your preferred low-carb sweetener.

Storage

Store any leftover Frosty in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw for a few minutes and blend again briefly to restore the creamy texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?

Yes, regular milk or any plant-based milk can be used based on your preference, but unsweetened almond milk keeps it lower in carbs.

What if I don’t have instant espresso powder?

You can skip the espresso powder or replace it with a small amount of brewed coffee to add depth to the chocolate flavor.
