- PROTEIN POWDER– adds sweetness, vanilla flavor and 20-30 grams protein to the recipe. Use either chocolate or vanilla depending what flavor you want to make.
- MEDJOOL DATES– natural whole food/ unrefined sugar substitute in this recipe. For a lower carb option you can try pure monkfruit sweetener. Use 1-3 depending how sweet you want your frosty.

- VANILLA BEAN POWDER– optional but adds additional vanilla flavor.
