FAQs
Can I use peppermint extract instead of mint extract?
Yes, peppermint extract can be used as a substitute, but it has a stronger, more intense flavor. Use it sparingly to avoid overpowering the shake.

If you don’t have green food coloring, you can omit it—the shake will still taste great. Alternatively, try natural colorants like spinach juice for a subtle green tint.
