Here’s a roundup of some of our favourite St Patrick’s Day recipes that will make your friends green with envy.
Pot o’ Gold Rainbow Shake

1 cup plant-based milk
Handful fresh mint
Few drops peppermint extract, to taste
Few drops green food colouring (optional)
1/4 cup Mango-flavoured popping boba (pick some up from the nearest frozen yoghurt place)

Rainbow sprinkles
Woolworth’s Sour Rainbow Straps
- Place the ice cream, plant-based milk, mint, peppermint extract or oil and food colouring (if using) in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Put the popping boba in the bottom of a tall glass. (This is your “pot o’ gold”.)
- Pour the shake over the boba, filling the glass.
- Top with vegan whipped cream and garnish with sprinkles and a piece of rainbow strap folded into a half circle. (This is your “rainbow”.)
- Add a straw and enjoy!
St Patrick’s Day Hangover-Busting Green Smoothie
1–2 cups coconut water
