1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk (you can use either unsweetened or regular and original or vanilla-flavored)
1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract
1 heaping handful of fresh spinach leaves (you can't taste this at all)
Optional - dairy-free whipped cream and Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend, stopping to scrape down spinach bits from the sides with a spatula, then blending again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the Shamrock Shake into 1 tall or 2 short glasses.
If desired, top each glass with dairy-free whipped cream and even a Maraschino cherry
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for making the perfect Shamrock Shake
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
If you prefer a thicker shake, add more ice cream to the blender.
For a stronger mint flavor, add more peppermint extract.
Add more spinach for the desired color
If you don't have a blender, you can use a handheld immersion blender or a food processor to blend the ingredients together.
If you want to make a larger batch of Shamrock Shake, simply double or triple the recipe.
