McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is a staple of the Saint Patricks’ day season, but can really put a wrench in your pre-summer diet plans. With a whopping 820 calories per serving and 115 grams of sugar this snack packs a punch. Not to mention the added ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors that will leave you feeling bloated and unsatisfied. Check out this chart from The Huffington Post that breaks down the over 50 ingredients it takes to make just one shake.
So what’s a girl to do? Obviously the craving for one of these treats can be irresistible from time to time (I mean, they are delicious) but there is a healthier alternative that is closer than you may think. The Wanderlust Café on Main Street is serving up a healthy alternative to this spring favorite. Playfully titled the Spin-a-Mint, this organic smoothie is packed with nutrient rich foods such as fresh mint leaves, bananas, maple syrup, coconut milk and spinach. This combo will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed, without any of the guilt and artificial additives that can take a tool on our bodies.
