Combine the creamy vanilla ice cream, cold whole milk, a splash of mint extract (start with ½ tsp and add more to taste), and a few drops of green food coloring into your blender.
Blend everything together until it's perfectly smooth and has that iconic vibrant green color. You can add more food coloring or mint extract if you prefer a bolder shade or flavor.
Once blended, pour your delicious shake into glasses. If desired, top with a dollop of light whipped cream and a single maraschino cherry.
Serve your refreshing, minty shake immediately and savor this homemade treat!
Notes
For a healthier twist, consider using a natural food coloring or skipping it entirely. You can also skip the whipped cream and cherries for a lighter version.Nutrition information per serving: Calories: 469kcal Total Carbs: 51g Net Carbs: 50g Fats: 25g Protein: 10g
