Why have a regular Shamrock Shake when you can have a coffee and chocolate-infused Mocha Mint Shamrock Shake? This simple recipe is packed with nutrients and made with delicious, plant-based ingredients. It makes a great St. Patrick’s Day treat! *This recipe is adapted from Heather’s “Mocha Mint Superfood Shamrock Shake" recipe on her blog The Soulful Spoon.

Gluten Free Low Sugar Raw Soy Free

Ingredients

2 Tbsp raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
1 cup loose-leaf spinach or ½ cup frozen spinach
½ a frozen banana
1 pitted Medjool date
A tiny drop of peppermint extract or peppermint essential oil or fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp cashew butter
½ tsp instant coffee (regular or decaf)
1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond, soy, or cashew milk
½ cup cold water
4-5 ice cubes
Optional toppings - unsweetened plain non-dairy yogurt and raw cacao nibs

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients except the toppings into a blender in the order listed.
2. Blend on low, then progress to high until thick and creamy.
3. Pour/scoop into a glass and leave enough at the top to add a dollop of unsweetened non-dairy yogurt and some raw cacao nibs (optional).
4. Freeze for 20 minutes to let it set up and get thicker as well as more frosty and tastier. Plus, freezing it helps bring out the sweetness even more.
