This paleo (gluten-free, dairy-free), low-sugar, high-protein smoothie tastes just like a Frosty!
The second I tasted this smoothie I (literally) ran to my laptop so I could share the recipe with you guys ASAP.
So.
Dang.
Good.
This smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep your blood sugars stable and satisfy a sugar craving in a healthy way.
Plus it’s perfect for anyone who has dietary restrictions, including a lactose intolerance!
First let’s take a look at the regular Wendy’s Frosty.
These are the nutrition facts for a medium Wendy’s Frosty:
470 calories and 65 grams of sugar!
Even worse, the ingredients:
Not only is the Frosty packed with sugar and corn syrup , it also contains a thickener called carrageenan which is linked to gut inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease , colon cancer , blood sugar imbalance , and food allergies.
Now let’s take a look at my paleo Frosty!
Much better.
And the ingredients?
No corn syrup, it contains all-natural ingredients, and it is thickened with xantham gum (which may actually have health benefits ).
It technically contains cane sugar, but never fear. The cane sugar accounts for only 1 of the 9 grams of total sugar in the smoothie – the rest is natural sugars from the banana!
Smoothie highlights:
Now the part you’ve all been waiting for… the recipe!
If you’re looking for a high-quality blender that is easy to use and easy to clean, I highly recommend a Nutribullet.
This smoothie is delicious as-is but here are some fun additions:
