Green, Healthy and Guilt-Free – A New Shake for You to Try!

POSTED ON March 19, 2015 BY Drew Canole

It’s March, which means it’s time to celebrate all things green, like Leprechauns and shamrocks…

And green food! 🙂

Way back when, I absolutely LOVED the Shamrock shake from McDonalds – that minty, creamy delicious goodness… the not so healthy delicious treat that is totally loaded with the unknown… Eek!

Yep, guilty!

But I was determined to find a way to still enjoy one of my favorite treats – without the guilt – so I worked hard to re-create a healthier version! This is my health-conscience take on a Shamrock shake! By using natural and healthier ingredients, I can feel good about my indulgence and you can too!

Green, Healthy and Guilt-Free - A New Shake for You to Try!

Recipe type: Smoothie

Ingredients

1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (look for options without carrageenan)
1 scoop of plant-based vanilla protein powder (I prefer Genesis Pure, but your favorite will do just fine)
1 big handful of spinach
8-10 drops of spearmint or peppermint extract
¼ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
A few drops of stevia (if you like it sweeter)
Ice

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth.
Insert your green straw and toast to the “top of the mornin’!”
Enjoy!
