This Frosted Mocha is a delicious and satisfying drink. Perfect for a snack between meals or for a big dessert.
Tips for making Frosted Mocha:
- Keep an eye on the carbs in your cocoa powder, some of them contain more carbs than others. I use raw cacao powder when I can for an added healthy benefit, but it isn’t necessary to enjoy this delightful drink.
- The added collagen in this drink gives you a good amount of protein to help make this a more satisfying snack. THM Integral Collagen or Custom Collagen works well in this recipe. It’s also great for your skin and joints.
- The glucomannan helps give this drink a creamy texture. Either THM Glucomannan or Now Glucomannan would work well.
- This drink is best enjoyed within a half-hour of making.
- I do use a Vitamix blender and so I have a tamper that I use to push down the ice while it’s blending. If you are using a different type of blender you may need to stop the blender occasionally and use a large spoon or rubber spatula to push down the ice.
Trim Healthy Mamas this drink is an FP.

A new twist on an old favorite – Root Beer Float becomes a White Root Beer Frosty featuring Zevia Ginger Root Beer!
Recently Zevia started making their drinks clear – no caramel coloring!
Zevia sodas don’t contain sugar, use non-GMO ingredients, and contains no phosphoric acid! Yay! You can read more about Zevia’s ingredients on their website. I’ve been able to find Zevia’s at my local grocery store and they are often on sale! Zevia’s Zero Calorie Sodas are making my sugar-free life a little easier.
- This recipe calls for collagen, it’s optional to add in, but it does add protein and makes this treat much more nutritious. My favorite brands are THM’s Integral Collagen or Custom Collagen through Amazon, since this isn’t an item that is normally at your local grocery store you would need to order it, it’s just a matter of where you like to order from.
- The glucomannan gives this treat a creamier texture. And again I use both THM’s brand or Now brand, it just depends on where I’m ordering and sale prices.

Dairy-Free Peach Frozen Yogurt

This dairy-free peach frozen yogurt brings back memories of my childhood. I remember one summer when I was little and we had a large family reunion the adults were making peach ice cream for everyone. They were using one of those crank ice cream makers and family members were taking turns cranking the machine, while everyone was anxiously awaiting. Well, I know I was anxiously awaiting. It was such a novelty to me to have homemade ice cream and for it to have peaches in it. I’m thinking it was my grandfather’s favorite flavor.
After what seemed like forever to my young mind, they started passing those bowls of creamy goodness out to everyone. I remember taking those first few bites of peachy goodness and thinking the world was a wonderful place. It’s a snapshot in my mind of a perfect summer day with family and the most delicious peach ice cream man could make.
Fast forward to today and we have the blessing of being able to make homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt in a simple to use electric ice cream maker. I love to use my ice cream maker, especially now that our family needs to eat dairy-free we can still enjoy delicious and healthy desserts like this one.
This dairy-free peach frozen yogurt is so simple and easy to make, just blend the ingredients and put it all in the ice cream maker and let it do it’s magic. I’ve added in the flavors of vanilla and just a bit of ginger to make the peach flavor really shine.

Notes
The ginger is optional, but it really does enhance the peach flavor.
The vegetable glycerine is optional too, but I think you’ll find that it does make the texture creamier.
If you freeze any left-overs, remove from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften up a bit.

Fried Green Beans
Fried green beans is an easy and delicious side dish. I like to keep frozen green beans on hand to quickly round out a meal. When I was growing up, I think I was the only one in my family who didn’t like green beans, but frying them like this made me come to love them. They have such a great texture and flavor.
I use gluten-free Herbamare organic seasoning salt in my recipe, but feel free to use your favorite seasoned salt blend. Make sure to check ingredients if needing to be gluten-free.

Frosted Strawberry Lemonade – Dairy Free, Sugar Free
Delicious and refreshing Frosted Strawberry Lemonade. Perfect treat to serve yourself and your family! Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free, Low-Carb. THM-FP
(Some links in this post may be my affiliate links which means I earn a percentage, at no cost to you, when you purchase. See my disclosure policy here.)
After making my Frosted Lemonade, I began to think of all the different combinations of flavors that would be good in this shake! First up – Frosted Strawberry Lemonade! This is such a fun combination and so refreshing!
If you aren’t used to using glucomannan, it is a healthy starch that is very low carb and adds a thickening, light creamy texture to the shake. I haven’t seen it in stores yet, but you can find it on Amazon. You can make the shake without it, but you’ll lose a little of the creamy effect and since we’re doing this dairy free we need all the creaminess we can get. I have read where xanthan gum could be used as a substitute, but I haven’t tried that personally.
The collagen is optional, using it will give you some good protein and it has so many health benefits. I use Custom Collagen I’m really happy with it and it has a good price!
Trim Healthy Mamas this shake is an FP.

If you split this drink with a loved one you can add an additional tablespoon of collagen so that you are both getting a good serving of protein.

Homemade Almond Milk from Almond Butter
I use almond milk nearly everyday and there are times when I run out, but can’t get to the store right away to get more. I recently saw a recipe for tahini milk made with water and tahini and thought that it should work with almond butter, too. I usually have almond butter in the fridge or pantry, so this is my new way to make homemade almond milk. It’s incredibly easy to make and doesn’t require any straining or nut bags like you need when making almond milk from almonds.
Just water and sugar-free almond butter and you are all set to make the easiest homemade almond milk. I usually buy Costco’s Kirkland brand sugar-free almond butter or Zinke Orchards. I’ve listed a few more ingredients in the recipe, like sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, stevia, or salt, but you can leave those out if you don’t have them on hand. They do add to the overall texture and taste of the almond milk, though.
I’ll probably still buy almond milk, but when I run out or just want to cut back on groceries, I’ll be making it this easy way.
Trim Healthy Mamas this almond milk is low fat and low carb! (FP) For 2 cups: Calories 35, Fat 3 g.

refrigerator . Shake before using.
Notes
You can make almond milk using only the water and almond butter, but the other ingredients help give it a better texture and taste.

MamaShire’s Gluten-Free Baking Blend
MamaShire’s Gluten-Free Baking Blend – low fat, low carb, nut-free, dairy-free. Can be used in Trim Healthy Mama recipes.
(Some links in this post may be my affiliate links which means I earn a percentage, at no cost to you, when you purchase. See my disclosure policy here.)
This is my Gluten-Free Baking Blend that I have been using for several of the recipes in the new Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook.
The THM Baking Blend is featured in many of recipes throughout the new THM Cookbook. While I really like the THM Baking Blend, I wanted to have my own blend that I could tweak and that might be a little less expensive.
My baking blend is not the same as the THM Baking Blend, but it is similar. I like being able to have a big batch made up and ready to go. I’m much more likely to bake something yummy for my family if I have the blend all ready to go.
My blend doesn’t contain almond flour like the THM Baking Blend does, because I already use almond flour in a lot of my recipes and I wanted to have an alternative so that we’re not “always” eating almonds. Seriously, we eat this gluten-free bread made with almond flour several times a week. Plus, this keeps the cost of the blend down. Win, win.
I have listed all the ingredients below and where I like to purchase them from. You may be able to find coconut flour and golden flaxmeal locally, but the other items will probably have to be ordered online. The initial purchase of these items will add up, but you will be able to get quite a bit of baking blend from them.
- The oat fiber that I use is THM Oat Fiber and it is the ONLY ONE on the market that is certified gluten free. If you don’t have to eat exclusively gluten free you could use this oat fiber.
- Nutiva Organic Coconut Flour is my favorite.
- I get my organic golden ground flaxmeal at Costco or Amazon. It is cheaper at Costco.
- I use Custom Collagen in my recipe, but THM Integral Collagen would work well, too.
- For the glucomannan, I use Now Brand Glucomannan or THM Glucomannan.
