Shamrock Shakes

Labels: at 10:41 AM

I'll admit it.....while I'm mostly into healthy food and really only eat fast food if I'm travelling or whatnot, I am totally, throughly in love with McDonald's Shamrock Shakes.  I have to have one every March (or two or three or four).  I think it stems back to fourth grade when our principal took a group of kids from my class to his daughter's school to do a poem presentation and we stopped at McD's and had Shamrock Shakes.  *laugh*  When I was pregnant I totally craved them.......and I have to admit, I get a little bit excited when I pull through a drive-though so my husband can pick up a "snack" and see them on the menu.

I mean really, what's not to love about that cold, green, minty goodness?

(well besides all the calories and the junk that I don't even want to think about being in there!)

But guess what I came across today?????

A Homemade Shamrock Shake Recipe!!!!!!

I am so totally excited!!!  Look at this picture, it will totally make your taste buds start watering:


Here's the recipe (the orginal can be found at: Craving Comfort)
I would think that you could even make it "low-fat" by using reduced fat ice cream and milk or using rice milk and rice dream ice "cream".
