St. Patrick’s Shamrock Shake

One of my favorite treats around this time of year is a shamrock shake from McDonalds, and while it isn’t one of the healthiest options, sometimes it’s good to indulge.

Not everything you make in your blender needs to be healthy, and we deserve a treat.

This recipe will taste pretty close to the classic flavor with a little bit of extra mint tossed in at the end to make it extra special.
