Here is a fun and yummy "green" drink I like to serve on the feast of St. Patrick, and sneak a bit of spinach into my children at the same time! ;)
Saint Patrick's Day
Peppermint Candy Shake
Peppermint Candy Shake
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup spinach (optional)
1/2 cup Peppermint Patties
♣ Place candy pieces and place into the freezer for 15 minutes.
♣ Blend milk and spinach until smooth.
♣ Add vanilla ice cream and candy and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds. Stir with a spoon and blend for 30 more seconds.
♣ Repeat until desired consistency is reached.
♣ Top with whipped cream.
I hope you all have a very Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I love that you snuck in spinach!
ReplyDeleteDid you use/do you recommend fresh or frozen spinach?
ReplyDeleteI use fresh, though I do have a Vita-Mix which is excellent at blending fresh produce. In a regular blender, frozen might blend a little easier, or you may want to chop it up to get it started...
