  3. 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!

  4. You know, I don’t think I have ever had a shamrock shake before. I don’t know why because I really like mint.

  5. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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!

  8. 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.
