Recipe #44... Mint Chocolate Pistachio... A trifecta in a glass

Note:  This libation is much too good to be good for you... so if you are seeking greens, cleansing lemon, servings of fruit, or healthy fats, scroll away from this post; explore perhaps the "Digital Recipe Cards" to the right of the picture -->  However, if you need an excuse to imbibe a chocolate-minty refreshment, the 138th Kentucky Derby is your salvation...

Mint Chocolate Pistachio Shake
Add the following to your mixer of choice...
Makes 2 servings

1 c vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1 package of chocolate mix (Try CocoaVia Dark Chocolate Supplement - Bonus! Antioxidants)
1 c pistachio ice cream
1 c Ice (big cubes usually 5 or 6) 

I've posted the "G-Rated" version above.  If you're feeling festive, like the derby champ ready to receive the garland of roses and a handful of oats, then experiment with blending in a little bourbon... I know, it's a funky twist on the mint julep... but who can turn away from a trifecta that's a sure win... jockey up!  -A
