Macros & Nutrition Information

Serving size: 1 milkshake

Swaps to Tweak It

• Protein Powder: If you don’t have mint chocolate protein powder, use vanilla or chocolate and add extra mint extract to achieve that minty flavor.
• Milk: Any milk works here! Almond, oat, or regular dairy milk are all great options—just be mindful of the macros.
• Ice Cream: I used Edy’s Slow Churn Vanilla for creaminess, but any light vanilla ice cream or even a frozen yogurt will work.
• Toppings: Want to make it extra special? Top with sugar-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed mint candies, or extra chocolate chips.

Quick Tips

• Blend Consistency: If you like your milkshake thick and creamy, use less milk and blend well. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk as needed.
• Chill Your Ingredients: Keep your milk and cauliflower as cold as possible for the creamiest texture.
• Color It Festive: A touch of green food coloring will give it that iconic Shamrock Shake vibe without any added flavor.
