I’m a big fan of Wendy’s Frosty treat, so I like to add ice to my smoothies. When you add ice, you can create an almost ice cream-like thickness, which I lurve. The thickness adds to the indulgence which can be topped off with cinnamon, grated chocolate, or sprinkles. Sweeten with just a touch of honey for added deliciousness! This Cocoa Butter Smoothie is healthy, easy to make, and definitely, one you should pin. Like now. ENJOY!
