I was recently reminded that it is indeed Girl Scout Cookie Season when I heard an ad on a local radio station. While I haven’t quite figured out how to order any this year (Brian and I don’t know any girl scouts!) I have satisfied my craving for Thin Mints with this super creamy and healthy shake!

Healthy Thin Mint Shake Nutrition

Curious about the ingredients in this shake?

  • Oat milk: This milk is naturally dairy, lactose free, soy and nut free. It contains B vitamins, and may be correlated with a decrease in cholesterol.
  • Bananas: Bananas contain many important nutrients such as fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. They also add natural sweetness to the shake and make it thick and creamy.
  • Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is naturally higher in protein than regular yogurt.
  • Chia seeds: I like to call chia seeds “nutrition sprinkles.” They are filled with fiber, magnesium, calcium, omega 3 fatty acids, and many other nutrients.
  • Pure Maple Syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder contains polyphenols, which may help reduce inflammation in the body. It also may help improve Nitric Oxide levels in the body, which could have a positive effect on blood pressure.

Healthy Thin Mint Shake Tips

I like to keep frozen bananas in the freezer at all times, so that when I crave a smoothie or a shake the banana (which adds so much sweetness and creaminess) is ready to go!

This recipe comes together quick, so there isn’t much to prep ahead.

If you are dairy free, you can sub a plant-based Greek yogurt for the traditional Greek yogurt.  Just make sure to use plain.

I love using oat milk in this shake, but almond, soy or dairy milk would work here too.
