Hey Everybody-
We are juuuust hanging on to the last bits of summer- I’m already missing the stone fruit and local berries. But it was pretty awesome while it lasted, right?
And we still have a lot to look forward to this fall, right? (Sweaters, crisp leaves, and everything pumpkin- yessss…!)
But before we jump into this new season- I wanted to introduce somebody to you:
The Peppermint Chocolate Chip Mylk Shake.
Perfect for a hot summer morning, or in the comfort of your (hopefully heated) living room in the fall, this smoothie masquerading as a milkshake is so tasty- and healthy-, it belongs in any season. It’s got greens, some rather healthy chocolate, bananas, and fresh mint. I tried growing fresh mint this year- was interesting, as I can’t garden to save my life. … but whatever I grew works in this!
Anyway- hope you enjoy this rendition of a Shamrock Shake- vegan, healthy, and tasty, of course.
