Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe

Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe

It’s that time of year again.  St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and it just happens to be my favorite holiday (since there’s Irish in my blood and it’s my birthday)!  With this all things green holiday comes the return of the “Shamrock Shake” and while it is oh so delicious it is also oh so full of calories.  I read somewhere recently that 1 shake has more that 600 calories in it.  I was looking for a frozen drink that would have a similar flavor but wouldn’t be so heavy and that’s how my Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe was born.  You’ll love it!

Ingredients:

  • 8 coffee ice cubes (strong brewed coffee, poured into ice cube trays and frozen)
  • peppermint extract – how much will depend on how strong your extract is and how strong you want the mint flavor
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • green food coloring
  • whipped topping and additional chocolate syrup for topping if desired

Instructions:

Begin by mixing a small amount of green food coloring into your milk.  If you want to keep the recipe as low in calories as possible you can use a fat free milk or milk substitute.

Next combine your coffee ice cubes, the now green milk, sugar, peppermint extract, and chocolate syrup in your blender or frappe maker.

Blend on high until the mixture reaches desired consistency.  I like mine to be a bit more frozen so I use extra coffee ice cubes and not as much milk.   Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped topping and additional chocolate syrup if you desire!

You’ll love the flavor of the Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe and it will remind you of mint chocolate ice cream or that high calorie shake without the guilt!  You can certainly make this same treat without the green food coloring anytime or skip adding the food coloring for health reasons.  It will taste just as great!

  97. What you posted made a lot of sense. But, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title? I ain’t suggesting your information is not good, but what if you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean BLOG_TITLE is a little plain. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.|
