I made a Shamrock shake with a healthy twist for my kids, who can be reluctant vegetable eaters. I used vanilla frozen yogurt and added some blended peas to the recipe, and they were perfectly camouflaged by the Shamrock color! They liked it so much they want to experiment with other colors.
I love this! I like how you did it in a ball jar – it probably tastes even better that way.I have got to try this – so much cheaper than hitting the drive through for that shamrock shake fix every week. Especially since it will disappear soon. Bookmarking this one!
Thank you for this recipe! No more waiting until St. Patrick’s Day season for Shamrock Shakes to come back–I can make these whenever I want now! And way cheaper and more convenient! I’d say if you want to make it even greener for the holiday, try adding green sprinkles or even a mint leaf as a garnish instead of the cherry.
It’s a sad, sad day when McDonalds stops offering their seasonal Shamrock Shake. This recipe is one of the best things I’ve ever found! It is super easy to make and it can be easily tweaked. I try to eat dairy free, so I would replace the ice cream and milk with alternatives. Thank you for this recipe so I can enjoy my favorite shake all year round.
