Vegan Mint Shamrock Shake
This Vegan Mint Shamrock Shake is a healthier, dairy-free twist on the classic St. Patrick’s Day treat. Made with frozen bananas, spinach, plant-based milk, vanilla, and mint, it is creamy, refreshing, and naturally green. It comes together in just minutes and can be topped with vegan whipped cream and chocolate chips for a fun dessert-style finish.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 cup spinach leaves, fresh
- 10 fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract, to taste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup, to taste
- vegan chocolate chips, whip cream, and fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the frozen bananas, fresh spinach leaves, coconut milk, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and maple syrup/agave syrup in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
- Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or mint flavor as desired by adding more maple syrup/agave syrup or peppermint extract.
- Once you've reached your desired consistency and flavor, pour the shake into two glasses.
- Top with vegan whipped cream, chocolate chips, and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Vegan Shamrock Shake!
Notes
Start with 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, then add more if needed. Peppermint extract can become very strong quickly.
For a thicker shake, use 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk instead of 2 cups.
