Ingredients

1 14-oz can full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup coconut cream
2 tbsp agave nectar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp mint extract
1 cup baby spinach
Whipped cream for topping
Mint leaves for topping
Maraschino cherries for topping

Instructions

Make coconut milk ice cubes by pouring the coconut milk into an ice cube tray and freezing for at least 6 hours or, much better, overnight.
Once the coconut milk ice cubes are frozen, place them in a high-powered blender with the mint leaves, almond milk, coconut cream, agave nectar, vanilla extract, mint extract, and baby spinach.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and sweeten if desired. If the shake is too thick, add more almond milk to thin it out.
Pour into two serving glasses.
Top the vegan Shamrock Shakes with vegan whipped cream, mint leaves, and maraschino cherries.

Notes

For that classic Shamrock Shake taste, use mint extract. Peppermint extract also works, but its flavor might remind you of candy canes.
If you're a mint chocolate fan and don't mind losing the shake's green hue, add a bit of cocoa powder to the mix. You can even go all out with a chocolate syrup drizzle and extra toppings like cacao nibs and crushed chocolate cookie sandwiches!
Feel free to spike this Shamrock Shake with vodka!
