Equipment
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Add ice cream, milk, and peppermint extract to blender.
-
Blend until smooth and thick, about 20-30 seconds.
-
Add natural green coloring if desired and blend briefly just until the color is evenly distributed
-
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Use high quality vanilla ice cream because the flavor of the milkshake comes mostly from the ice cream.
Add the milk slowly if a thicker milkshake texture is preferred.
Blend only until smooth so the shake stays thick instead of becoming thin.
Freeze the serving glasses for a few minutes before serving for an extra cold milkshake.
Phase:
Ovulatory Phase. Dairy provides protein and fats that support hormone production during ovulation, while peppermint offers a refreshing flavor that many people crave when energy and metabolism are naturally higher during this phase.
Season:
Early Spring. Mint naturally aligns with spring flavors and the lighter, refreshing foods people tend to enjoy as winter ends.
Storage:
Best served immediately. Milkshakes lose their thick texture if stored.
