Vegan Shamrock Shake
Servings: 1
This vegan shamrock shake is creamy, refreshing, and naturally green. Made with coconut milk, fresh mint, spinach, and dates, it delivers classic minty flavor without dairy or artificial coloring. A fun, plant-based dessert smoothie you can feel good about.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk chilled
- ¾ cup spinach
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1 banana
- 2 medjool dates pitted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 tbsp whipped coconut cream optional
- 1 tsp cacao nibs optional
- 1 sweet cherry optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk into a blender. Add the spinach and mint and blend on high until smooth.
- Add the banana, dates and vanilla. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
- Top with whipped coconut cream, cacao nibs and a cherry, if desired.
Notes
- Mint Swap: If you can't find fresh mint, increase the spinach to 1 cup and add a few drops of mint extract.
- Make It Thicker: Use a frozen banana and full-fat canned coconut milk for a thick, shake-like texture. Carton coconut milk makes it thinner.
- Blender Tip: If your blender has a hard time with dates, soak them in water for 20 minutes and drain before blending.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or reblend before drinking.
