Creamy Vegan Peppermint Patty Smoothie Paleo Recipes

VEGAN PEPPERMINT PATTIES

Steps:

• Add the powdered sugar to a mixing bowl along with the vegan condensed milk and peppermint extract and mix in until you have a big ball of dough. If it seems like it won't come together, get in there with your hands and form it into a ball of dough. It will be quite firm and not sticky.
• Break off even pieces of the dough and roll it into balls and place the balls onto a parchment lined baking tray. Then flatten the balls with your hands into flattish rounds. Alternatively you can flatten them with the base of a glass. Place into the freezer for an hour to firm up.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and add to a microwave safe bowl along with the coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until the chocolate is melted.
• Dip the peppermint patties into the chocolate, using two teaspoons to lift them out and place them back onto the parchment lined baking tray.
• Sprinkle some chocolate jimmies on top if you like (optional) and place into the fridge to set.
• Keep them stored in the fridge and serve directly from the fridge or the chocolate will melt.

MY EVERYDAY PALEO SMOOTHIE {PALEO, VEGAN OPTION}

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a small blender and blend well until smooth and creamy. I used a Nutribullet or Ninja personal blender for this smoothie.
• You can also easily double or triple the recipe and blend it in a larger blender. Serve right away and enjoy!

CREAMY VEGAN PEPPERMINT PATTY SMOOTHIE (PALEO)

Steps:

• Add cauliflower, almond milk, almonds, dates and peppermint extract to a high speed blender. Add any desired smoothie boosters to the blender as well. Blend on the highest speed for at least 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
• Add 1 cup of ice and blend again until smooth. Taste and add another cup of ice if a frostier smoothie is desired (I love a frosty smoothie personally and always add the second cup of ice). Blend again until perfectly smooth and creamy. Pour into 2 glasses and garnish as desired. I love to add a chocolate drizzle overtop for an authentic chocolate/peppermint combo.
