If you like the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s, then you may want to try this minty shake that’s a little healthier because it’s made with frozen yogurt and low-fat milk or soy milk. The peppermint or mint flavoring is really refreshing in this shake, too. It’s a nice St. Patrick’s Day treat, especially if it St. Pat’s happens to be on a warmer day!

So enjoy this minty green shake on St. Patrick’s Day and don’t forger to wear something green! 🙂

MINTY FROZEN YOGURT SHAKE by NancyC

Makes 1 large serving

• 2 well-packed cups of slightly softened vanilla frozen yogurt (or low-fat or soy ice cream)
• 1/2 cup low-fat milk, soy milk, or almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint or mint extract
• 2 to 4 drops of green food coloring

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until mixture is smooth and well-blended—you may need to stop the blender and stir with a spoon to help blend the ingredients if you don’t have a high-power blender.

Pour into a tall glass and enjoy! 🙂

That’s all there is to it! And if you don’t mind some extra calories, you can top this shake with whipped cream and some green sprinkles to make it really festive! 🙂 This shake is also really refreshing on a hot day, so keep it in mind for summertime, too!
