    Brownie-Peppermint Stick Shake. Dairy-Free. + Salad’tude Winner!!


    This vegan, holiday Brownie-Peppermint Stick Shake is pretty dreamy. Creamy, cool peppermint ice cream is blended to a soft texture and layered with thick, rich chunks of vegan brownies. Dig your spoon into this decadent dessert!

    Peppermint Stick
    ice cream was always my favorite as a kid, so this easy vegan version really makes me glow around the holidays. Get my recipe + find out the winner of my “Show Me Your Salad’tude” Contest!..

    contest winner -> CONGRATS to Corinne! She is headed to Napa thanks to Dole Salads!! (see her winning entry + full details below recipe)

    Vegan brownie Cubes on top..

    Brownie-Peppermint Stick Milkshake Parfait
    vegan, serves 2

    1 cup vegan brownies, chopped into cubes
    1 ½ cups vegan vanilla ice cream (I find that rich coconut milk-based ice cream works best! Luna & Larry’s is my favorite brand.)
    2 tablespoon vegan peppermint candies + a few extra for garnish
    1 ½ frozen bananas
    ⅓+ cup vanilla non-dairy milk or creamer

    Vegan Brownie cubes – try this recipe

    Directions:

    1. Add the banana, ice cream, candies and non-dairy milk to a blender.
    2. Blend from low to high until all the candies are blended into the banana and ice cream. The non-dairy milk helps to soften the texture and blend – this creates a texture somewhere in between ice cream and a milkshake. Tip: If you like your ice cream extra thick, add the milk in splashes until the blend runs smooth.
    3. Add 4 cubes of brownie to the bottom of a parfait glass. Add in a big scoop of the “milkshake” then a few more brownies and finish off with more shake. Top with one brownie chunk and peppermint candies to garnish. Serve with a spoon.

    WINNER Announcement: Salad’tude Contest. Corinne is headed on a $6,200 Napa Valley Adventure! The votes were close guys, but in the end the winner was finalist #3. Corinne from California. Thanks to Dole Salads, who will be sending her on a salad-lovers’ trip of a lifetime!

    Corinne’s salad recipe in the photo:

    ~ organic mixed greens dressed with cold pressed flax seed oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sea salt
    ~ ¼ cup of pomegranate seeds
    ~ ¼ cup walnuts (raw or toasted)
    ~ 1 organic zucchini, made into ribbons using a potato peeler
    ~ edible organic flowers for color and happiness!

    When I emailed Corinne to tell her she won, I learned that she is also a very talented jewelry designer! Check out here veggie creations (or visit her website!).. How cute are they?

    Again, thank you to all the very talented finalists!!
