Vegan Shamrock Shake with Mini Raw Donuts

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the healthy way with this creamy, dreamy vegan shamrock shake! It’s made from frozen bananas and hidden greens, blended into a deliciously thick shake with natural mint extract. I topped this minty thick shake with mini raw vegan donuts to make my St. Paddy’s Day celebrations even more special!

You can make the shake with only 5 natural, wholesome ingredients in just 5 minutes.

I’ve made spinach nice cream before, so I’m not afraid of throwing fresh greens into my smoothies. I didn’t have any spinach this morning when I went to make my post-workout shake, so I thought I’d use organic Chinese kale instead. The key to a really even shake is to tear off the leaves and discard the stems. Trust me the leaves blend much easier and you won’t even taste them!

A shamrock shake normally is made up of a vanilla milkshake base mixed with minty syrup and green food dye. I decided to make mine vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free by using frozen bananas. When blended, the frozen bananas turn into a thick ice cream and then I added in vanilla, mint, and kale for the green color.

This shamrock shake is just as delicious, but all-natural and plant-based!

Since St. Patrick’s Day is basically non-existent in Hong Kong, I’ve decided to throw my own little party at home. That’s why I made myself this shamrock shake for breakfast, put on my favorite “Kale” sweatshirt, and threw on my fuzzy green socks with sheep on them. No joke, I even made my boyfriend where green socks so that he wouldn’t get pinched at work. I hope you have a fun St. Paddy’s Day and don’t forget to wear green!
