Peppermint Jade Bliss Shamrock Shake
Try a healthier alternative to the original shake, using peppermint and culinary grade Matcha green tea! Vegan and gluten-free friendly, too.
For our first recipe, you'll want to freeze canned coconut milk into ice cubes overnight. (We use canned coconut milk as it's thicker and creamier than the kind in the carton.) You'll also want to prepare a cup of Peppermint herbal tea or Moroccan Mint green tea and allow to cool before blending.
PEPPERMINT JADE BLISS SHAMEROCK SHAKE
1-13 oz can coconut milk (frozen into ice cubes)
1 tsp peppermint leaves
1 tsp Jade Bliss Matcha
1 cup Peppermint herbal tea or Moroccan Mint green tea (chilled)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Blend all ingredients in a blender and sweeten to taste with agave (or preferred sweetener).
To thicken your shake, add ice cubes. To make your shake thinner, add coconut milk (from a carton) or almond milk. Feel free to also experiment with adding your favorite fresh greens, like spinach or kale, for added green.
For our second recipe, we've simply modified the first to make a hot version of the shake. Great for chilly, gloomy March days.
PEPPERMINT JADE BLISS SHAMEROCK LATTE
1-13 oz can coconut milk
1 tsp Jade Bliss Matcha
1 cup Peppermint herbal tea or Moroccan Mint green tea
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp finely chopped peppermint leaves (optional)
Blend ingredients together and add to a frother or heat on the stove. Sweeten to taste with agave (or preferred sweetener). Top with frothed or whipped coconut milk/cream (optional).
TIP: When using canned coconut milk, be sure to shake the can well and/or stir the contents well before using. The milk tends to separate in the can over time. (This is normal!)
