Homemade Chocolate Frosty

by Christina Meyer-Jax MS, RDN, LDN, CLT, RYT, Tastemaker in Residence

Thick chocolate shakes hit the sweet treat reward button but lack nutrient density in micronutrients and protein.  My favorite plant-based smoothie mix is Realm.  I especially love the Bold Cocoa Smoothie mix. It’s completely real food ingredients, with nothing artificial, 18 grams of protein, and a good source of fiber and micronutrients. I typically make it as a regular smoothie but knowing its great creamy texture I thought about turning it into a nutrient-dense chocolate frosty!  The result…the sweet spot of taste and nutrition.  If you want to try it for yourself here is my discount code A4HEALTH15 (for 15% off) at www.realmfoods.com
