What an awesome Shamrock Shake! I love it! Definitely a “must make”! Thanks for linking up and sharing at Celebrate It!
So much healthier than the fast food alternative!
I haven’t been to a McDonald’s but it sure would be nice to make your own Shamrock Shake at home. I like that you used skim milk in the recipe as well. I’m definitely keeping this one!
This looks so good. Would love to make something like this, it would probably be amazing! LOVE me some mint!
If you ask me, it isn’t St. Patrick’s Day if there isn’t a Shamrock Shake to enjoy. Your recipe looks pretty delicious…I’ve never made my own before. Maybe I should give it a try!
Mmmm…this looks yummy. What a great drink for St. Patty’s Day, too. I have to try this one. I love mint and vanilla bean together. What a terrific combination!
Wow. So simple and easy to make but really tasty! My children will love to have this on St. Patrick’s Day. They do love their milk shakes!
Almost forgot St Patrick’s day is around the corner. This is a great recipe and love that its easy to make.
This sounds really good. I will pin for later and then maybe make it this weekend. Thanks!
These shakes are getting so popular these days. Ive never tried one but it sounds so delicious. I would love to make one of these!
This is one of my daughter’s favorite shakes. Every spring she gets so excited when they are out! now we can make our own
You know, I don’t think I have ever had a shamrock shake before. I don’t know why because I really like mint.
I have never tried a Shamrock shake. I know. I must live under a rock or something! I always mean to try this when I see it but I don’t visit fast food places often. But if I can make it on my own!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It looks yummy!
This shake is extremely simple to make and it sounds delicious as well. It is also refreshing because of all that mint in it. And that color is what I loved the most. Refreshment for both, eyes and taste buds!
Oh my gosh let me just say I love you! I love shamrock shakes but I do not want to always go to the store to get it. This is perfect because then I can make as many as I want for a whole lot cheaper!
I would love the peppermint taste of the shake. The color is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.
I love mint ice cream! This looks like it is really delicious and easy. Thanks for the recipe!
Having green everything is a tradition around our house. Making this mint green shake would go perfect. Now to make it for an afternoon treat or wait until evening. Think it might be a great evening treat for everyone.
Wow that looks so simple and delicious! And I love the sprinkles and whipped cream!
That sounds soooo good. I am pretty sure I NEED to make one of these for my husband and myself this weekend.
