Celebrate St. Patrick's day with this delicious mint green ice cream!
While the modern holiday is largely secular, we can both honor this great saint and participate in the celebration of the Irish.
St. Patrick was credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, establishing many schools and monasteries, and is the patron saint of Ireland.
Although blue was the color traditionally associated with St. Patrick, green is now commonly connected with the day. So, let's make something green!
Step 1. Add the non-dairy milk, nut butter, spinach, mint, maple syrup, applesauce, mint extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Step 2. Transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 30 minutes or until the mixture is semi-solid.
Step 3. Stir in the chocolate chips. Then freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or overnight.
Step 4. When ready to eat, let the ice cream thaw several minutes before scooping. Top with extra chocolate and enjoy!
I love making my own nut butters because I can always have some on hand.

No! The mint flavor is predominant so you won't notice there's spinach
If you have a blender or food processor, that is ideal.
If not, you can still make the ice cream - just omit the spinach and finely chop the mint so that it mixes in well.
Thank you God for the saints and their beautiful influence on our lives. St. Patrick, pray for us!
