With all the buzz created over social media, are you also curious to know what it is? The Butterfinger Blizzard is in fact an artificial product where a vanilla ice cream in which fat quantity is diminished and is mingled with Butterfinger bars which are loaded with saturated fats and sugar.

The additives don’t end here though, you will find many colorants, stabilizers, and flavors to enhance the taste and bring versatility to the product.

Why You Will Love Butterfinger Blizzard?

Since the time I recreated the ice cream dessert,  I’ve been absolutely in awe of how delicious it turned out. Despite being a copycat recipe,  it’s still rich in nutrients and doesn’t contain inflammatory agents like corn syrup, traditional dairy, and carrageenan known to be a carcinogen.

Void Of Corn Syrup & Refined Sugar

What’s worse for your gut microbiome? Yes, your cravings, where you Indulge deeply in processed sugars,  syrups, and flavors that spike up your blood sugar level and deteriorate your microbiome. Whereas, this Butterfinger blizzard recipe doesn’t contain that and still tastes ravishing. However, a small amount of pitted dates are added to sweeten up this dessert.

Loaded With Nutrients

You might be aware that one reason we avoid ice creams and milkshakes is that it being unhealthy.

These usually don’t contain ingredients that regulate blood sugar levels, keep the hormonal level in check, and keep a person satiated even after gobbling down several scoops. But unlike others, this Butterfinger blizzard recipe is loaded with ingredients to give fulfillment. 

High-Quality Fats, Protein, and Fiber Source

There’s nothing better than sneaking plenty of fibers, protein, and unsaturated fats along with satiating our cravings. This Butterfinger blizzard works in harmony with the body’s organs and regulates normal functioning.

Vegan/Dairy-free

Not everyone can digest typical dairy ingredients like whey, cream, and milk powder due to intolerance so here some frozen peanut butter are added to bring creaminess to this recipe. Don’t want to skip milk? No worries, add vegan milk like I have added oat milk.

There are plethora of other factors that will make you hooked on this recipe including exceptional taste profile and let’s not forget how fun it is to recreate this recipe.

Variations Into Butterfinger Blizzard 

Here are some healthy variations you can incorporate into this copycat Butterfinger blizzard that will make this an absolute treat.

Choose Oil-Free Vegan Milk

Several plant-based milks available in the market are loaded with vegetable oils like rapeseed, canola, palm, and sunflower oil which give an emulsifying effect and make the texture creamy. 

Add Bioavailable Protein Powder

It’s quite a task to find a protein powder, which is clean, healthy, and bioavailable in this myriad of junk. Protein sources when searched in the form of powder pose many hurdles as there is junk everywhere because of heavy processing and shelf-stabilizing chemicals.

I usually buy the Protein Powder from the Collagen brand as it comprises Collagen, glycine,  glutamine, and proline that don’t cause inflammation and helps to regulate the thyroid gland. 

Add Prebiotic Fiber 

Have you got some gut issues? Not a big deal as all of us relying on overly processed food brought problems off and on. To tackle this problem, I’m adding probiotic fiber to the Butterfinger blizzard recipe. 

Does it alter taste profile? No, it doesn’t,  but it promotes digestion, controls blood sugar levels, metabolizes fats, improves digestion, and helps us get rid of constipation. 

What Mix-Ins You Can Add Into Butterfinger Blizzard? 

I won’t limit you to Butterfinger, want a different taste? Here’s your cue to add other mix-ins that will elevate the taste of the blizzard. 

• Add Oreo, M&M’s, Turtle Pecan, Health Bar, Fudge Brownie, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup to add into the blizzard for different flavors. 

• There are other flavors like Cotton Candy or Berry Cheesecake specially introduced to wave off summer heat and have now become my absolute favorite.
