Shamrock Shake Recipe

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.

    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!

    Can’t wait to try this…though I’ll probably just leave the food coloring out since I don’t have green after Christmas ;)
