I came up with the recipe for Skinny Strawberry Frosty completely by accident. Don’t ya just love when that happens?
I was actually making strawberry smoothies. The frozen strawberries were dumped into the blender and I opened the fridge to grab the almond milk and realized that there was only a little bit in the carton. What to do? What to do?
As I was scanning the contents of the fridge, my eyes rested on a bottle of Coffee Mate sugar free french vanilla creamer (the liquid kind). I had a light bulb moment. It’s liquid. It’s sugar free. It’ll work!
The finished product turned out to be more like a frosty than a smoothie (meaning it has to be eaten with a spoon). I love it! So, instead of strawberry smoothies, I usually make my new and improved Skinny Strawberry Frosty. And now, you can, too!
Helpful Hint: This recipe calls for frozen whole strawberries (no sugar added).
Skinny Strawberry Frosty
To make a smoothie, add more almond milk. For an even thicker consistency, add more creamer and less almond milk. And did I mention that it’s very low in calories? The brand of almond milk, etc. that I use comes in under 150 calories. Yum!
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup almond milk
- ¼ cup Coffee Mate Sugar Free French Vanilla Liquid Creamer
- Splenda (or other sweetener) to taste (I use two teaspoons)
- Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!

This looks wonderful! Do you have any idea of the calorie count for it?

The almond milk I use is 30 calories for a cup and the strawberries are 50 for one cup. I’m not at home right now, but I think the coffee mate is about 15 calories per tsp. So it’s under 150. I should have added the calorie count. 🙂
I wish I had frozen strawberries so I could make this for breakfast. 🙂
sounds like you stumbled upon something pretty awesome there!

I usually have this for breakfast, but sometimes I have it for dessert, too.
Interesting creamer ingredient! Never would have thought.. Of course my creamer in my house has tons of sugar….Gotta cover up that coffee taste.

I’m glad I was almost out of almond milk or I would have never thought to use creamer. It really thickens it up.
Oh wow, now this looks really good! I’ll take two please!

I am off to the kitchen to make these. I have all the ingredients. Yeah.
I love this frosty! Be careful, because I’ve had a couple of brain freezes when eating it too fast. 🙂
Looks good! I like anything strawberry!
Sounds really good to me! Pinning so I can whip that up one day soon:-)

Now, that is a good idea, Alli! LOL It IS funny when you start substituting things – my family still swears that the casserole I made a couple Thanksgivings ago was the best one ever – and I had just thrown stuff together when I ran out of the original ingredients and the store was closed! LOL Now I can’t re-create it!

Wow Allie. I love this recipe and perfect too. Just in time for strawberry picking with the kids and making mama a special treat
Love that you used almond milk. I love adding it to my smoothies!
My husband and I would love this. I the Wendy’s Frosty and haven’t had one in years. I know what I’ll order as soon as I get to the states.

Skinny !!!!! Yes! Now, I am on the Atkins diet but I think this works for Phase 2 no problemo. PINNED IT on TWO boards so I am sure not to lose track of it.
