Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other milk of choice)
  • 1 handful of baby spinach leaves
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract*
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional topping: whipped cream, sprinkles, cherry

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients in a high speed blender and puree until smooth.
  • Garnish with toppings, if desired.

Notes

*A little bit of peppermint extract goes a long way, so be very careful that you don't add too much! You might like to start with a drop or two (or 1/8 of a teaspoon) and then add more, to taste, if necessary.
*For purposes of calculating nutritional information, I used my favorite IdealLean Cake Batter protein powder. You can substitute with a similar vanilla or cake batter flavored protein powder, but the nutritional stats will change. As an alternative, I also like Quest Vanilla Milkshake protein powder in this recipe.
