Amazing likeness to Wendy's Frosty! Alternatively, you could try simply using chocolate almond milk or even cocoa powder. I recommend using unsweetened almond milk because generally protein powders - such as Tera Whey, which I used - are already sweetened.

The cranberry juice makes this drink very sweet, so use unsweetened almond milk and an unsweetened protein powder, if possible. For this recipe, I used Vega Protein Smoothie:Bodacious Berry flavor, which is sweetened with stevia.
