HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This is our favorite time of year and right now we're all about peppermint everything, specifically a chocolate peppermint milkshake (drool). This week as we sat staring at pictures of those yummy milkshakes, knowing full well we would pay to have a bloated, upset tummy after, we decided to make our own! This recipe is perfect, especially for you lactose-intolerant or vegan mamas/families out there. It's simple, yummy, and the kiddos won't be able to tell the difference.
Our secret ingredient is Califia Farms Dairy-Free Mint Cocoa Almond Milk Creamer. It is dairy-free, vegan-friendly, and only made with minimal, clean ingredients. Click here to learn more about Calfia's Almond Milk Creamers. It's a holiday staple in our house.
