Cinnamon Crunch Frosty Smoothie Bowl — the name may be long, but the flavor lives up to it. Think Cinnamon Toast Crunch meeting a Frosty: thick, frosty, and delightfully cinnamon-forward.
The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, just like a Wendy’s Frosty. It’s thick enough to eat with a spoon yet silky on the palate. The cinnamon and vanilla notes shine, making this bowl a great choice for cinnamon lovers.
This smoothie bowl is:
- Vegan
- Gluten free
- High in protein
- Quick to prepare — ready in about 5 minutes
It also packs extra nutrients: I tuck in some frozen riced cauliflower to boost vitamins and minerals and to add creamy thickness without changing the flavor. You won’t notice it — only the extra nutrition.
Can I make this without protein powder?
Yes, you can omit protein powder, but it’s recommended if you want the bowl to be filling and nutritionally balanced. Vanilla protein powder also adds sweetness and depth; skip it only if you plan to add another protein source or prefer a lighter sweetness.
What cereal should I use for topping?
Any crunchy cinnamon-flavored cereal works well as a topping. If you need the cereal to be gluten free or vegan, check the label to be sure it meets your dietary needs.

Notes
*Using two full servings of protein powder can sometimes make the texture slightly chalky; adjust the amount to taste.
