Healthy Frosty (packed with protein!)

By classycook

Ingredients

• serves one
• 3/4 cup (6 ounces) almond milk (or milk of your choice, i use unsweetened vanilla almond breeze by blue diamond)
• 15 ice cubes.. maybe more!
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (use your favorite brand–it’s important that you enjoy the flavor. i like MRM whey natural vanilla or plant fusion vanilla bean)
• 1-2 TB unsweetened cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you like it)
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (this is the KEY ingredient)
• 1/4 tsp guar gum (or use more xanthan if you don’t have guar)
• sweetener of choice (in this one i used 1/4 of a frozen banana for my sweetener, but i always switch it up. other ideas: stevia packet, a few dates, xylitol, or agave)
