A day late, but just as tasty! I actually made one yesterday, but have been so overloaded with paper writing and studying didn’t take the time to post about it. I’ve honestly never had one from McDonald’s (and don’t plan on it!) but the minty cool combination is a winner. I’m on my last day of low carb eating (Yessssssssss! I get oatmeal and dates and bananas tomorrow!) so I made this with almond milk, which has a fraction of the carbohydrates that cow’s milk has. My version is 100% healthy and packed with protein, plus, no artificial colors!
Shamrock Shake
- 1/2c. Almond Milk
- 1/2c. Almond Milk, frozen (Do this. So much creamier than using ice!)
- 3-4 Ice Cubes
- 1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor Protein Powder
- 1 TB Cottage Cheese
- 2-3 drops Mint Oil
- 1 Handful Spinach (I promise you can’t taste it!)
- 1/4 tsp Stevia, or to taste.
Put it all in the blender, and blend until creamy and frothy! A great add-in would be a little cocoa powder or some chocolate chips. Better yet, homemade chocolate, which I am going to be posting about soon =)
ooohhh…..sure looks good….perfect for this warmer weather, yes? Where do you get your almond mils….do you make it or buy it? I eat almonds and raw nuts every night….my night snack! but I’d like to try adding more almonds to my diet…..could use it in my smoothies!
This weather is unbelievable!! 80 today! Yes, I have been making it. I’m going to post the recipe sometime here… But it’s basically almonds soaked overnight then liquified in the blender.
Three post later and I’m a fan of your blog!
I can really relate to your experience. Dieting can be hard, but it’s worth it.
Definitely worth it!
