When I think of St. Patricks Day I think of two things, alcohol and shamrock shake’s. It being March I am still rolling with my new years resolution so I’m sorry McDonald’s but my love handles can’t handle a shamrock shake right now. I personally hate being that person that goes “I’m sorry I can’t eat that, I’m on a diet”, so I wanted to share two recipes for knock off McDonald’s Shamrock shakes.
The first one is a virgin Shamrock Shake:
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 ¼ cup lowfat milk
¼ teaspoon mint extract
8-10 drops green food coloring
All you do is mix this up in the blender!
Quick! Shield your eyes if you’re under 21 years old
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups vanilla ice cream
4 ounces creme de menthe liqueur
3 ounces marshmallow vodka
3 ounces Irish cream liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
I know what you are thinking, three types of booze? That’s why life is so beautiful, there is so much variety!
P.S.- for any vegans substitute the vanilla ice cream for vanilla cashew ice cream and any alternative non-dairy milk!
