Ingredients

  • 1 pint dairy free vanilla ice cream see Notes for my favorites
  • 1/2 cup dairy free milk I prefer oat milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
  • 8-10 drops green food coloring see Notes for natural options

For topping

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the ice cream, milk, mint extract and food coloring to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into two glasses and top with vegan whipped cream, sprinkles and a maraschino cherry, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I like cashew based vanilla ice cream the best, like So Delicious brand. But Trader Joe's has a really good soy based one, and there are so many other kinds that are wonderful!
  2. If you REALLY don't want to use ice cream, you can probably substitute 2-3 frozen ripe bananas and add sweetener such as maple syrup, to taste. You will probably need to add more milk as well to get it to blend.
  3. Peppermint extract will also work if you can't find mint extract.
  4. For more natural green food dye, try using a little bit of matcha, spirulina or fresh mint leaves. Or throw in a handful of spinach.
