Mock Shamrock Shake
When you can no longer drink the real thing, and I know I can't, try this good low-carb alternative. Good as a fat fast meal too.
| 3 Oz. | Avocado, ripe |
| 1 Cup | Almond Milk, unsweetened |
| 16 drops | Liquid Sucralose |
| 2 drops | Oil of Peppermint |
| 6 Lg. | Ice cubes |
Dice avocado and put in a blender. (Make sure it's ripe. Under ripe avocados will add a slight bitterness) Add almond milk, liquid sucralose (or your favorite sweetener) and peppermint oil. I use peppermint oil because it's what I have on hand. (You could also try peppermint extract, I'd try 1/4 tsp to start with and add more to taste if you need to. DaVinci Syrups also makes a nice sugar-free peppermint syrup. A few squirts of that would replace both the peppermint and sweetener.) Blend the ingredients until smooth. Then add the ice cubes and blend until smooth and frosty. I find it's plenty green the way it is, but you can add a drop of green food coloring if you want it greener.
