Cinnamint Frosty.

 As you all know, I love comkng up with weird food combinations. The weirder, the better, I always say! And, yes...this one is pretty weird! But so so so yummy. I made this for the first time when I got home from a sweaty skating practice--the absolute PERFECT refreshing and nourishing treat! Enjoy this frosty-it's a keeper!

       Frosty cool perfection right there.

3. 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Copycat "Wendy's" Carob Frosty.

Ahhhh, summer is finally here. And you all know what that means...swimming, vacation, relaxing, and of course, frozen goodness! 

I used to LOVE those "Frosty" desserts that Wendy's used to serve. Of course, I haven't had one in YEARS (Like maybe 8 years?!) but I remember exactly how they taste, nonetheless! Cool, rich, and utterly satisfying, I have fond memories of summer nights eating these while watching the sunset...after a day at the pool of course! 

This veganized version of my all time fave is as close to the real thing as you can get. Give it a go! You will love it!
