Shamrock Shake

March 2, 2018 by Cara

Free from food dye, dairy, and sugar, this Shamrock Shake is a healthier indulgent treat you can feel good about feeding your family this St. Patrick’s Day.

HAPPY MARCH! Spring is right around the corner, which (for me) means lighter, healthier foods, and lots of green drinks. Although it initially took me a bit to become a green drink fan, one that I’ve never been able to get on board with is the Shamrock Shake from a [certain fast food] establishment. That drink has over 50 ingredients in it! It’s definitely not something I want my son to indulge in as he gets
older, but a green, minty shake sounds like the bomb, right? It still CAN be, minus the extra chemicals and junk.

This only has 5 ingredients, contains zero sketchy stuff, and is delicious for you and your little ones to enjoy! You won’t even find food coloring in this – that green color is from MATCHA! If you haven’t heard, matcha powder has been having a moment- it’s everywhere, and for good reason. It’s packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. Matcha powder has also been noted to have a positive impact on a child’s oral and heart health.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 3/4 c. coconut cream, loosely packed
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened dairy free milk
  • 1 Tbsp. matcha powder
  • 1 tsp. peppermint extract

Instructions

  1. Put the frozen bananas and coconut cream in a high speed blender. Blend on low until combined and an ice cream consistency is formed (this may take a few times of turning the blender off and scraping down the sides with a spoon).
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until everything is incorporated. Please note that in order to maintain a shake-like consistency, avoid over-blending.
  3. Pour into a glass and top with dairy free whipped cream, Lucky Charms marshmallows, sprinkles or whatever you want! Enjoy immediately.
