Thin Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake Recipe
This THM peppermint chocolate chip milkshake recipe is what I’m thankful for today. Between this AND the frozen eggnog recipe from last week. These two will keep me out of trouble in the drive through lane this holiday season when all of my favorite seasonal milkshake flavors are out.
My husband read my blog from last week and wanted to know why I hadn’t made him any frozen egg nog. The reason is that he is picky, and he likes the icky-thick-super-sweet store bought stuff. I was nervous that he’d turn his nose up. But when I made some to go with breakfast on Saturday, he was all, “This is NOT diet…how can you do this? How can this be low carb?”
Today, he tasted my mint chip shake and was again suspicious that I was slipping him a fast food shake. Skepticism is his love language. 🙂
SO quick and yummy…this is my perfect companion for an afternoon of running errands!
***Please Note: For an every day, lighter version scale your cream back to 2T, or use half & half. If you go with the decadent full dose of heavy cream makes this a rich dessert or S meal if you’re a Trim Healthy Mama. You may also opt to add a scoop of protein powder to boost the protein as a meal.***
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES
Want to add a superfood boost? Add a serving of mint flavored chlorophyll instead of your mint extract, and enjoy a nice minty green smoothie.
Using a full ¼ cup of heavy cream creates a *very* heavy/rich S milkshake that I use only on special occasions and as a meal replacement. It's similar calorie wise to the Muffin in a Mug. If you want to lighten it up, half the shake with someone else, scale the cream back and/or sub half & half instead.
