Although my name might be Kelsey Marie, and I might have ginge-y hair, I'm not Irish. At all.
But, I've always loved the Shamrock Shake at McDonald's. Maybe it's because they're only available once a year, or that they're so artificial they have to be good, but I am obsessed. Unfortunately, I am painfully aware of how terrible they are for my body. And I was inspired to make a healthier version for myself.
So, in honor of St. Pat's, here is my cleaner recipe for the Shamrock Shake.
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp peppermint extract
1 banana
3-4 ice cubes
handful of baby spinach (green food coloring if you're not about green smoothies)
Step 1: Put all ingredients in a blender
Step 2: Blend it all up until it's as thick as you desire
Step 3: Pour into a cup and enjoy! This option is so much more natural than the original, and tastes just as good!
