Healthy WENDY'S frosting

Feels like summer!!  What do we crave during summer? Sweet cold treats ;)  I got one for ya!  Chocolate “Frosty” Shakeology, taste better than the one's from wendy's.  Ingredients: 1 Scoop Chocolate Shakeology or vanilla, or other meal replacement powder.  12 oz. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (if unflavored, add 1 tsp Vanilla flavoring) 1 Frozen* Banana (half is sufficient, but this is to taste/texture preference) 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract  Ice cubes (a handful or so to your likeness) *A really ripe frozen banana will blend to the best thick consistency, but I have tried this with a nearly ripe banana + ice and it will work, just isn’t spot-on to my faux-“Frosty” taste.  :) Directions: Pour Almond Milk in blender, top with remaining ingredients. (for the best blending, always put your liquid in the bottom and frozen fruit/ice on the very top.) Blend, add ice and blend further to your desired thickness. Put in fre...
