Healthy Chocolate Frosty (Vegan)

– vegan – gluten free – refined sugar free – low fat – 

Is there anything better than something that tastes so good, you can’t possibly imagine it’s good for you? this vegan chocolate frosty is exactly that – it’s dairy free, naturally sweetened and made mostly with bananas!

Some days when I’m craving something sweet, I will make this frosty for dinner and the little kid inside of me that always wanted to eat ice cream for dinner is screaming with joy. Better yet, bake up some potato wedges to dip in your frosty. Did anyone else do this at Wendy’s as a kid!? Nothing better than a sweet ‘n’ salty duo.

If you want to take your frosty game to the next level, I highly recommend adding on this healthier chocolate sauce. It’s only 2 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. Some other fun toppings include chocolate chips, peanut butter, nuts or shredded coconut.

Helpful tips:

• To best freeze bananas, remove them from their peel and cut into 3-4 pieces each. Place them in a sealed container or a zip lock bag and freeze at least overnight. They should be very frozen before using them for nice cream or this frosty.
• The less milk you use in the process, the thicker the frosty. Every food processor/blender works a little different and some will require more milk than others to blend.
• This frosty is best served the day of making it. If you decide to freeze it, I recommend letting it thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Kitchen essentials:

• A food processor. A blender will work as well, but I find the food processor works better.
• A rubber spatula

Ingredients

• 3 frozen bananas (see helpful tips above)

• 1 tbsp cacao powder

• 3-4 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used soy milk)

• 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

• 1 serving chocolate sauce (optional)

Directions

• Blend in the food processor or blender. To your food processor, add the frozen bananas, cacao powder and 3 tbsp of nondairy milk and blend. It may take a few minutes to fully blend. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the food processor if necessary. If your food processor/blender is having a hard time blending, add a splash more milk.
• Add chocolate chips (optional). Once completely blended, add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to fully incorporate them.
• Add additional toppings (optional). Transfer your frosty to a cup or bowl and drizzle on the chocolate sauce and any other toppings. At this point, you can serve immediately or transfer to the freezer for an hour for a thicker ice cream texture.

Notes

• This recipe makes 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings. Nutrition label is based on only 1 serving and does not include chocolate chips or chocolate sauce.
