Notes

Approximate nutritional information is for three servings and was calculated using 2% milk. Does not include whipped cream.
*Add an extra heaping tablespoon or two of sugar if you prefer your frosty drinks on the sweeter side.
*If using an underpowered blender, use crushed ice if possible as it will be easier for your blender to process.
