Keto Friendly Shamrock Shake ~ Nutritious, Refreshing & Delicious!

 

This delicious shake contains a 
secret ingredient ~ avocado!

Ingredients:

1 medium avocado

1/2 cup sugar free macadamia milk**

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

6 tablespoons Lakanto Classic sweetener***

2 drops green food coloring

10 ice cubes

1/4 cup whipped cream (optional)

8 to 14 sugar free mini chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

Remove the skin and pit from the avocado. Chop into chunks and add to a blender container. Add the remaining ingredients and blend just until the ice is crushed and completely blended together. (Do not over blend.) Pour into 3 small glasses. If desired, garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons whipped cream and 4 chocolate chips. Makes three 8 ounce servings.

**I use macadamia milk because it is super low carb, but almond or coconut milk may also be used. (Just be careful about which coconut milk you choose ~ some have more carbs than others.)

***You can substitute liquid monkfruit sweetener ~ just use 10 or more drops to achieve the sweetness you desire.

Nutritional info per 8 ounce serving (with garnishes), Approximately: 309 calories ~ 28.75 grams fat ~ 2.46 net carbs ~ 1.5 grams protein

Notes: The avocado is a "hidden" ingredient ~ it adds nutrients and helps to thicken the shake, even though it can not be tasted.

My husband only likes avocados in guacamole or when they are served sliced with lime juice, salt and pepper. He was very surprised to find out that they were hidden in this tasty smoothie/shake!
