Chocolate Chip Peppermint Swirl Shake Recipe

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it wouldn’t be complete without a proper Chocolate Chip Peppermint Swirl Shake! With a chocolaty crunch, this recipe is a fun twist on the classic peppermint shake. I use nutritious ingredients to achieve a rich and indulgent taste for a festive drink that’s both satisfying to your tastebuds and your body! If you’re looking for a quick snack, dessert, or breakfast, this shake can do it all while putting a smile on your face.

My secret to achieving an ultra-creamy base is with some plain yogurt! Not only does it provide extra silkiness, but it’s also a simple way to incorporate even more protein into the shake, in addition to 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl. It can be hard to add variety to your sources of protein, which is why I am a big fan of blending up a shake to easily increase my intake of this essential macronutrient. In fact, this Chocolate Chip Peppermint Swirl offers 20g of protein in just one serving! Keep reading to learn how to make this at home…

Peppermint can be overpowering, but rest assured, 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl is beautifully-balanced with a sweet vanilla bean flavor and just a touch of mint for a fresh flavor. You can enhance the peppermint flavor by adding a couple drops of extract (like in this recipe), or a few mint leaves.

Along with incredible taste, 310 Organic Peppermint Swirl is also packed with nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Free from sugar and common allergens including soy, dairy, gluten, and nuts, this shake is suitable for a variety of lifestyles, making it my top recommendation for friends and family.

• Formulated with natural, vegan, and organic ingredients
• Keto and paleo-friendly
