Tips & Tricks
Preparation tips
The frosty is a strange dessert that’s a cross between a smoothie and soft serve. In order to achieve this perfect consistency (not too thick nor too runny), make sure to cover the frosty tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming. Another option is to add guar gum to the mixture.
Nutritional benefits
This frosty provides moderate levels of fat-soluble vitamin A, D, and E. It’s also a modest source of calcium. The cocoa powder provides an antioxidant and fiber boost together with the almond butter.
