This is one of our favorite low-carb treasures. It is a delicious, thick and creamy strawberry or chocolate shake. I just developed a pumpkin pie shake which is my husband's new favorite; his favorite used to be chocolate. My favorite is the strawberry shake. A regular "frosty"  has 50 grams of carbs for a small. The chocolate version of this has less than 6 carbs.

The inspiration for this shake is the "60 second Chocolaty Frosty" from Melissa at satisfyingeats.blogspot.com. She had the brilliant idea of freezing unsweetened almond milk in ice cube trays and using the almond milk cubes as the base of the shake. I have made these shakes for many friends and family, and everyone loves them.
