Ingredients
  

For the Shake
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream try non-dairy ice cream for a vegan option
  • 1 cup milk any non-dairy milk can lighten it up
  • 1 teaspoon pure mint extract ensure it’s pure mint
  • 5 drops green food coloring gel or liquid work; spirulina is a natural alternative

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of pure mint extract, and 5 drops of green food coloring. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until smooth.
  2. Check the thickness of your Shamrock Shake. If it’s too thick, add milk gradually and blend again. For a thicker texture, add more ice cream.
  3. Prepare two tall glasses by optionally decorating the rims with whipped cream. Drizzle some chocolate syrup inside the glass for added charm.
  4. Pour the shake into prepared glasses, filling each about three-quarters full. Top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry before serving.
