Why You’ll Love This High Protein Keto Frosty

• Packed with protein – Keeps you full longer

• Keto-friendly – Just 3g net carbs per serving

• No special equipment – Just blend and chill

• Perfect texture – Creamy, cold, and smooth

• Ready in minutes – Ideal for busy days or post-workout snacks

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a variation)

• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (low-carb/keto)

• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (for thickening – optional)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol or allulose (to taste)

• 1 1/2 cups ice cubes

• Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Base

In a high-powered blender, combine almond milk, cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Blend until fully smooth.

Step 2: Add Ice

Add ice cubes and blend again until thick and frosty. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend until smooth.

Step 3: Serve

Spoon or pour into a tall glass. Optionally, top with keto whipped cream, shaved dark chocolate, or a drizzle of nut butter.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Frosty

• Use frozen almond milk cubes for an even thicker texture

• Xanthan gum adds thickness, but the recipe works without it

• Cottage cheese makes it creamy with a protein boost—you won’t taste it

• For extra richness, use a splash of heavy cream or add 1/2 avocado

• Adjust sweetness to your preference by tasting before serving

Variations

• Mint Chocolate: Add 1–2 drops of peppermint extract

• Peanut Butter Cup: Add 1 tbsp peanut butter before blending

• Mocha Frosty: Mix in 1 tsp instant espresso powder

• Berry Frosty: Add a few frozen raspberries or strawberries

Serving Suggestions

Pair your High Protein Keto Frosty with:

• A scoop of keto granola for texture

• A drizzle of sugar-free caramel syrup

• Post-workout recovery or dessert after a light meal

• Served in a bowl with a spoon like soft-serve

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Best fresh: Serve immediately after blending

• If storing: Freeze in an airtight container. Let thaw slightly and re-blend or stir before serving

• Meal prep tip: Pre-measure dry ingredients in freezer bags for grab-and-blend ease
