Ingredients

  • 3 frozen bananas peeled
  • ½ cup fat free milk
  • ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 small spinach leaves for coloring
  • 2 Tablespoons fat free whipped cream
  • 1 Tablespoon mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large blender, combine frozen bananas with milk and extract.
  2. Blend for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides, until smooth. Add in spinach leaves and blend until desired color.
  3. Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream and chocolate chips.

Notes

  • You can also use a food processor to blend the bananas too!
  • Substitute fresh mint leaves for the spinach for an even mintier treat!
  • The amount of blending time you need depends on the strength of your equipment. Mine took about 5 minutes to reach the smooth, blended consistency I like.
  • Make it dairy free by using your favorite nondairy milk. Plain or vanilla almond, soy and oat milk would all be delicious alternatives.
  • For an even mintier treat, swap the spinach leaves for fresh mint leaves! Add as many as you like to achieve the perfect color.
  • I used a blender to make these milkshakes. A food processor would work too.
  • Like most milkshake recipes, you may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or processor bowl a few times to get everything combined.
