Shamrock Shake

One of the great things that St. Patricks Day brings is the Shamrock Shake! A green minty creamy shake that personally makes me think "Spring is near!" Of course this year it has been so warm peoples tulips are already sprouting out of the ground! I wanted to make a Shamrock Shake that wouldn't make me feel like I added a bunch of rocks to my shoes! This is a lighter tasty version that I'm sure you will love.

Shamrock Shake: Serves 4

1C Milk
3TB Sugar
15-16 Ice Cubes
1/4tsp Mint Extract
Green Food Coloring

Place everything in a blender and blend away until nice and smooth! Add more ice cubes to thicken it up, and some more milk to thin it down to your desired consistency. Serve & Enjoy!

Pinterest Suggestion: A reader on Pinterest suggested using Vanilla Soy Milk & a frozen banana and cutting back or eliminating the sugar and some of the ice cubes. I think this would be a great suggestion and will make it even creamier! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
