Love Potions – St. Patrick’s Shamrock Shake

It’s time to bring this delicious love potion out of the archives to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

If drinking green beer or nibbling on a mint-chocolate chip ice cream cone aren’t on your menu, we’re thrilled to share Rose Cole’s healthy recipe for her Raw Mint-Chip Shamrock Shake.

Ingredients

• 1-2 Tbs cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)
• 1 frozen large banana (the more ripe, the better)
• 1-2 drops peppermint extract (or handful of fresh mint leaves)
• 1/4 cup frozen spinach (or opt for all-natural green food coloring, or just make a white mint shake)
• 2/3 cup non-dairy milk of choice (coconut, almond, hemp, etc. Use more or less, depending on desired thickness.)

Optional Ideas & Add-ins

• cocoa powder
• chocolate protein powder
• garnish with fresh mint leaves
• 2-4 drops liquid stevia (I love the peppermint liquid stevia from Sweet Leaf)
• a pinch of guar gum and xantham to make pudding (or just reduce milk)

Blend everything together and enjoy! For more healthy recipes, visit RoseCole.com.
