Minty Green Shamrock Smoothie
With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, I just had to try a “Shamrock Shake”. I don’t think I’ve ever had a “real” one, though I figure it contains way more calories than I would be willing to consume. This version is vegan, gluten free, and is naturally green from the spinach. (You won’t taste it, I promise) I needed something minty and did not have peppermint extract. What to do? I crushed Altoid mints in a baggie and added them to the shake. Viola! Improvised minty goodness. Enjoy the Minty Green Shamrock Smoothie and have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
