A Decadent but Clean Twist on a Fast-Food Classic<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It’s that time of year when McDonald’s brings back its seasonal Shamrock Shake … and I start to wonder if it’s worth breaking my personal ban on McDonald’s for. There’s something about that sweet, subtly minty, pastel concoction that I usually can’t resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is, I know better now. I know there is not a single natural ingredient in that shake, and I know that McDonald’s shakes actually have more sodium in them than McDonald’s French fries do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also know that if I do drink an entire Shamrock Shake, I’m going to regret it afterward in the way that it makes me feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a sweet mint shake with a pastel green color lends itself well to a healthier twist on the recipe: a clean-eating breakfast smoothie that powers your body naturally. The color in my copycat recipe is derived from the baby spinach rather than artificial food dyes, and if you haven’t tried adding spinach to your smoothies, don’t be intimidated. By the time you add all the other ingredients, you don’t even taste it. Extra veggies, extra vitamins, and extra iron to start your morning strong.

It makes the perfect breakfast treat for St. Patrick’s Day if your kids are like mine and can be enticed to eat their veggies in smoothie form. (Note the sprinkles added purely for kid incentive.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get out your blender and get ready to tip your hat and say, “Top o’ the morning to ye!”<\/p>\n\n\n
