Sugar Free Copycat Wendy’s Frosty!

I absolutely love stopping by Wendy’s and grabbing a Frosty but the calories in it are not on my list of “okay” food items.  This Sugar Free Copycat Wendy’s Frosty uses a few ingredients I wouldn’t have expected would work but in the end it creates just the right chocolate flavor with the cold and creamy texture we are so used to seeing in a frosty.  The best part? This recipe with 2 servings comes in well under 150 calories per serving.  Just the right extra treat at the end of the day or a special afternoon pick me up!

SUGAR FREE COPYCAT WENDY’S FROSTY

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Crushed Ice

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup 1% or Skim Milk

1 Ripe Banana

2 Teaspoons PB2 With Chocolate

1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 1/2 Tablespoon Splenda or Stevia (we prefer 0 calorie Splenda in this)

DIRECTIONS

• Place crushed ice, milk and vanilla in blender and puree until frothy.
• Add in banana and pulse until smooth.
• Mix in cocoa, PB2 (powder not mixed) and sweetener with spoon (make sure to unplug blender for safety when doing this)
• Pulse until smooth.

This yummy treat is so quick and easy to make.  The PB2 helps hide the banana flavor and enhances the chocolate.  If you don’t mind a little bit more banana flavor you can easily leave that ingredient out and still have a wonderful cool and creamy chocolate treat.  The Sugar Free Copycat Wendy’s Frosty will surely be a hit with everyone in your family and will soon become a classic treat you will serve alongside your favorite turkey burgers and baked home fries.

**PB2 is a great peanut butter substitute found in powdered form at most grocery stores in the peanut butter or gluten free/organic area.  This can be mixed with water easily to form a traditional peanut butter texture or mixed into things like this treat or brownies in a powder form for added flavor.  Averaging from $4-$5 per bottle it is often found at the best price in bulk on Amazon.  At only 35 calories per serving it will fast become a staple in the low fat kitchen.
