Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Greek Yogurt. any plain or vanilla flavored yogurt works well in this recipe. We like using Icelandic vanilla yogurt as well. Or, you can use a dairy-free yogurt.
Milk: whole milk, 2%, almond milk, and coconut milk are all good choices.
Spinach. Use frozen spinach to make a thick and creamy shake.
Honey: agave or maple syrup are good substitutes.
Mint: If you'd prefer, you can use 1 teaspoon mint extract instead of fresh mint, however I love the flavor of fresh mint in this healthy shamrock shake!

Serve

Serve this shake with a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top.

I suggest serving this healthy shamrock shake right away for the best flavor and texture.
