We add a spoonful of chia seeds in this recipe to thicken up our frosty, as well as deliver a punch of nutrients! Chia seeds are full of omega 3 fatty acids which are great for heart health. They’re also an amazing source of fiber, calcium and magnesium. You can find these powerhouse seeds at most grocery stores in either the “health food” aisle, near nuts and seeds, or sometimes even in the baking aisle.
High Protein “Frosty” Recipe Tips
+ Make sure you always peel your banana before freezing it so it’s ready to use in your favorite smoothie and shake recipes!
+ If you love Wendy’s vanilla frosting, just use vanilla protein powder instead of chocolate in this recipe. Skip the cocoa powder and add a splash of vanilla extract for that delicious frosty flavor.
