My youngest likes to point out all the “Irish Clovers”, she doesn’t refer to them as Shamrocks. There are many variations of the Shamrock Shake and so this is our healthy version which we are calling the Irish Clover Shake. These shakes aren’t very sweet so it won’t taste like an ice cream shake. So play as you go and add sweetener of choice if you want or use optional flavorings, I like LorAnn Oils.
Little Irish Clover Shake (kids):
1 cup almond milk (used Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk) or experiment with milk of your choice. Also good with coconut milk!
4 milk ice cubes (used same almond milk)
1/4- 1/2 frozen ripe banana (for sweetness only but you could use sweetener of choice)
7-9 steams of organic mint, leaves only unless you have a VitaMix or high powered blender then include steams (play around you will want it to be minty enough to mask banana flavor but not too strong)
Alternatively or additionally to less mint leaves you could add a drop of LorAnn Oils, Crème De Menthe, or other mint flavoring of choice careful as it is strong.
1 TBSP mini chocolate chips or carob chips
Put everything except chocolate chips into a Magic Bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Add chocolate chips and blend to mix. Enjoy!
Irish Clover Protein Shake:
1 cup almond milk (used Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk) or experiment with milk of your choice. Also good with coconut milk!
6 milk ice cubes (used same almond milk)
7-9 steams of organic mint, leaves only unless you have a VitaMix or high powered blender then include steams (play around you will want it to be minty enough to mask banana flavor but not too strong)
Alternatively or additionally to less mint leaves you could add a drop of LorAnn Oils, Crème De Menthe, or other mint flavoring of choice careful as it is strong.
1 scoop plain, vanilla, or chocolate (won’t be green colored) protein powder (used Vega One French Vanilla as I had it on hand, next time may try Natural)
Put everything into a Magic Bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
