    2 cups ice
Aquafaba Topping (Optional)
  1. Add aquafaba, sugar, and vanilla extract to bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high for several minutes, or until the aquafaba reaches stiff peaks. Add more sugar, if desired.

  2. Add a large dollop to smoothies and sprinkle with spice of your choice, if desired.
