Hidden Veggie Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake
SHHHH! I promise not to tell the kids if you won’t. Deal?
It’s the holidays which means I am pulling out all of my favorite holiday treats this season, with zero guilt. Ok, maybe not zero….more like 0.0001% guilt. Anyway, what holiday treat gives me all of the Christmas-y feels? Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshakes. Don’t laugh. I’m a Florida girl. We require cold beverages in December, yes we do. But my kids on the other hand, they don’t need to be indulging on all of the extra sugar, candy and sweets.
Where do I find the balance without being a Grinch? This Hidden Veggie Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake. Best of Christmas, a dash of mom sanity, and happy kids – ’tis the season! Grab this mom-made and kid-approved recipe for the holiday season. And see that mom guilt melt away. (Melt, get it??)
Who knew that the minty green color of your child’s shake is NOT artificial after all? Uh-huh, speak to me. Now don’t knock this milkshake recipe until you try it. If I could fool a 3-year old picky eater, there’s no telling what this milkshake can do for you too.
Think those delicious chocolate mint candies – but better for you! Ready to take your holiday treats up to the next level? Here’s the recipe:

I do not think I could get anyone other than my 9 year old son to try the Hidden Veggie Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake. Green is one of his favorite colors and mint is one of his favorite flavors. 😉 He likes veggies too. 🙂
