Last week was St. Patty's Day and I always look forward to the green. Green grass, and green food. No not the moldy kind....Shamrock Shakes! But ever since I stopped eating dairy I can't enjoy that tradition anymore. Until now!! I found a DIY Shamrock Shake on Pinterest awhile back and this year decided to try it out. It rocked! Best of all I could make it my way: vegan style! Here's how I did it: In making this shake however, it occurred to me that I can also make vegan versions of chocolate and strawberry shakes. Using the non-dairy vanilla ice cream for a base, you can either use cocoa powder for the chocolate shakes and real strawberries for the strawberry. I actually like to use Nesquik. No this is not an ad. But as someone who can't eat dairy and is rather health conscious it's surprisingly not bad. No dairy in it, no high fructose corn syrup and no fake sugars. Well...unless you get the no added sugar kind. Yeah....don't recommend getting that kind.
I suggest experimenting with these shakes in your own style with your own favorite ingredients. Try using real fruit, or maybe even Kool-Aid mixes. You could potentially make a cherry shake, an orange dreamy shake, a pina colada shake. Mmmm I'm getting hungry. Who says being lactose intolerant has to be a downer?
