Shamrock (Mint) Shake
Outstanding shamrock (mint) shake made from real food ingredients.

Ingredients
- 2 cups milk ice cubes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. mint extract
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 - 4 tbsp. raw honey
- 1/2 - 1 tsp. chlorella powder optional
Instructions
- Pour milk into ice cube trays to freeze. This takes a good 3 - 4 hours, so it's best to do it the night before. This is my secret to "milkshakes" without ice cream!
- Add the milk ice cubes to the blender, followed by the cream, extracts, and raw honey. (We like it just a little sweet, but you can add more honey if you like it sweeter.)
- Blend until smooth, adding a bit more milk or cream as needed to make it work.
- Add the chlorella powder and blend until it's well-mixed. Chlorella has added health benefits in addition to providing a green color. Use as much as you want to get the shade of green you prefer, but be aware that adding too much can add a flavor to the milkshake you may not want.
Notes
If you want this to be dairy-free, feel free to use canned coconut milk.
If you want it to be vegan, use coconut milk and maple syrup. Adding some avocado will also add some green color and make it creamier…although I haven’t tried it personally.
If you want it to be keto, use your favorite keto sweetener to taste, and feel free to throw in an egg yolk or two for extra creaminess.
