My family looks forward to this time ever year because it is the one time when they can enjoy a Shamrock Shake!
I on the other hand cringe at the financial and nutritional cost of enjoying such a treat. In fact last year we practically choked on our Shamrock Shakes when the bill was around $20!!
But this year we can enjoy the much anticipated taste of the minty shakes for just a few dollars and know exactly what is going into each of the shakes.
Shamrock Shake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream or 2 cups soy ice cream
- 1 1/4 cups 2% low-fat milk or 1 1/4 cups soymilk
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- 8 drops green food coloring
Blend it all together until it has a nice creamy texture and all of the food coloring has been evenly mixed in to give it that nice green tone.

Trying to pin it but Pinterest must be down for me
Yum!!
Got it, it was the Pin It button from the post that was being funky.
yum! thanks so much for this recipe! i did splurge already & bought one the other week, but i did have to cringe w/ the price! loving the make-@-home idea! =)
Thank you! I have an in-house leprechan(husband, Patrick, whose birthday is March 17th)who commented on the Shamrock Shake as we drove by a McD’s. We rarely buy shakes due to not knowing what goes in them. Now we can partake & make them at least semi-healthy!
Thank you!! Like mentioned above I cringe at the chemicals McDonalds’ may stir into this treat. My kids will love this!
Can’t wait to try this…though I’ll probably just leave the food coloring out since I don’t have green after Christmas
