This healthy shamrock shake recipe is a delicious mint chocolate chip combination packed with tons of healthy vitamins and nutrients!
I'm a huge fan of all things mint chocolate chip, as seen in my original Shamrock Shake post. However, sometimes you want the amazing flavor of a shamrock shake, but the nutritional benefits of something like a smoothie. This Healthy Shamrock Shake recipe is the best of both worlds. It's deliciously creamy, vibrantly green, and has a great minty flavor from real mint leaves. It's the perfect way to start your day in my humble opinion.
Healthy Shamrock Shake:
This shamrock shake comes together with a bunch of really simple ingredients. All you need is spinach, frozen banana, mint leaves, almond milk, greek yogurt, and a handful of chocolate chips. Blend everything together in a high powered blender until smooth and you have the best mint chocolate breakfast anyone could ever want.
I love that this recipe provides healthy nutrients from the banana and spinach (and gives you a serving of both fruits and vegetables!), along with protein from the greek yogurt, healthy fats from the almond milk, and a punch of great flavor from the mint and chocolate. It's a stellar combination of health and flavor.
The Best High Speed Blender:
Our family has been using the KitchenAid K400 blender for over a year now and we love it so much. It blends everything for smoothies really easily, rarely gets stuck on frozen items and needs to be stopped and have more liquid added, and has been overall a great addition to our kitchen. It has amazing horsepower for about half the cost of other blenders.
Mint Leaves Benefits:
Mint leaves are a great source of nutrients and vitamins including vitamin A and antioxidants. It may relive IBS symptoms and aid in digestion. Some studies have found mint to aid in brain function and reduce feelings of frustration and anxiety, and if nothing else, it will make your breath smell better.
