A Vegan Strawberry Peanut Butter Frosty

Slightly thick & creamy, this fruity treat is much better than that strange stuff at Wendy's.
I promised bananas all week, didn't I?
Tomorrow is market day, so please bear with the lack of banana. Besides, I wanted to explore making frozen treats without the aide of the yellow ripened fruit. Though I love it immensely, other sweet fruits deserve spotlight too.
Like these frozen strawberries for example.

Vegan Strawberry Peanut Butter Frosty Ingredients

6 large frozen strawberries
2 tablespoons Peanut Butter And Company's Mighty Maple peanut butter
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Three of 6 ingredients for a fiber/protein enriched sweet treat!
Blend ingredients. I mainly used the puree/whip functions.
Minutes later, a happy spoon sits in wait.
Was never a huge fan of artificial strawberry flavoring. It always left that false, sugary taste on the tongue and that feeling always left me thirsty for water due to throat scratchiness.
This is that love of dipping strawberries into peanut butter turned into a yummy frosty!
Natural and nutty- a very satisfying, chilled treat for any strawberry-peanut butter fanatic, it tasted amazingly delicious and nutritious.
Next time will include additional strawberries atop.
Perfect on hot steamy days when the skin feels like it's melted.

    1. Thanks!!! Hopefully you like it as much as I do. It beats the heat only temporarily. That is until you make another one... :)
