Shamrock Shake!

Yes, I know St. Patrick's was last weekend, but I have made this recipe three times since then! I love it and had to share! I can't believe it took me so long to discover the amazing treats you can make with frozen bananas-this shake being one of them. I used to trash all my overly ripe bananas until I heard about "Yonanas". It is a very special small appliance that turns frozen bananas into a vanilla soft serve. Now all of my overly ripe bananas get peeled and placed in a Rubbermaid container in the freezer. Once frozen for 24 hours, you can make some yonanas or a good shake (smoothie) recipe such as the one below ;)

Shamrock Shake

• 1 frozen ripe banana cut into pieces
• 1/4 of an avocado
• 2 lettuce leaves ( I think anything but iceberg would work or you could use a handful of spinach or kale)
• 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (may sub any non-dairy milk)
• 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract
• 1/4 tsp of vanilla
• 1 scoop of protein powder (I used hemp)
• 2-3 mint leaves (optional)
• 1 packet of stevia (sweeten to taste)

Method

Blend all ingredients until shake is smooth.
