I have a vivid memory trying the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake for the first time. My mind was blown. My stomach, well, it wasn’t as happy. If it isn’t already clear by my blog, I have a love for all things mint so naturally I’ve tried to recreate the infamous shake more than once following recipes online. Nothing really satisfied me so I started experimenting on my own. The result is below and I am very pleased. Two thumbs up from the entire family.
- 2 cups almond milk (whole30 approved)
- ½ cup coconut cream (canned)
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ medium avocado
- 2 T cashew butter
- 3 (or more for added sweetness) dates, soaked for 5 minutes in boiling water
- 1 cup packed spinach
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 ice cubes
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend
