Vegan Peppermint Milkshakes

So there I was….browsing the web trying to decide what to call my gorgeous green mint shakes.

And then I see that shakes remarkably like these are often called shamrock shakes!

And it’s perfect for St Patrick’s Day. Which of course is long past now, so I totally missed that boat.

I mean I did manage to get something green up, my mint chocolate chip ice cream which is the bomb diggity!

But I wish I’d hustled a bit more to get these vegan peppermint milkshakes out in time. I could’a called them Shamrock Shakes!

Ah well.

Vegan peppermint milkshakes sounds pretty good too.

These shakes are gorgeous, green, thick, cold, smooth and ultra satisfying!

It’s a simple 4-ingredient recipe that can be topped with whipped coconut cream and some green sanding sugar for a bit of extra flair!

Believe me when I say I have NO idea of where or even if you can get green sanding sugar where I am, so I made my own.

Just threw in a few drops of green food coloring with some white sugar and processed it in the food processor.

It clumped at first, so I had to break up the little green clumps and then the green color spread beautifully.

So if you need to make colored sanding sugar at any point, this is what I recommend!

I’d love to know what you think of these pretty green vegan peppermint milkshakes.

Let me know in the comments.
