    I use to love Cadbury eggs, now they are just too sweet for me. My husband loves those Peeps, which I think are so gross, and way too sweet:sick:

    I was going to suggest just making a mint flavored milk shake at home, but I see somebody beat me to it. This dang job is getting in the way of my chatting.:grumble: Half the stuff I want to say has already been said before I get here.:frown:

    Well everyone I have some good news for you! I do have the recipe for Mcdonalds Shamrock Shakes!
    This is their actual version of it so you could modify it and make it healhtier for yourself.

    2 cups of vanilla ice cream
    1 cup milk
    1/4 cup of half and half
    1/4 teaspoon of MINT extract (not peppermint)
    8 drops of green food coloring

    Mix all ingredients on high speed until smooth. Stop blender, stir and blend again, if necessary to combine all ingredients.

    Makes 2-12oz shakes

    ENJOY!

    Wow! Thanks! I may have to try that if I'm craving more of them!! haha...

    Oh! Easy-peasy to make this healthier....
    Use Lowfat frozen yogurt
    Skim Milk in place of half-and-half (or Soymilk, but it will mess with the flavor a bit more)
    The rest is alright!

    The texture may be a little more "icy" and not as creamy, since you're chopping a lot of the fat....but it just may kill the craving!

    :drinker:

    I buy sugar free ice cream from my Coop that is sweetened with Stevia...................and it is all natural.

    Sorry for the hijack, but I see this qualification all the time, here, there and everywhere. Companies love to throw the "all natural" out there, and so many people just suck it up like it is the best thing ever. Here is a short list of "all natural", but I would not want to eat any of it:

    Arsenic
    mercury
    poison ivy
    crude oil
    radioactive material
    asbestos

    So please, just because something is labeled "all natural" does not make it good, good for you, or anything that resembles that. Maybe stevia is healthy, maybe it is not. I do not know. I do know however that every sweetener has downsides. I would rather stick to sugar myself, at least I know what it does...

    Yum, I love anything with mint and Ice cream. Good thing that the closest McD's is 30 miles from my house. I'm sure I'll end up getting one sometime.

    I'm jealous of this!! I think my biggest problem was that McDonald's was always around the corner when I was hungry or wanted something sweet or salty ... Never had a Shamrock Shake ... I think I'll stick to my Skinny Cow mint ice cream sandwich when I'm craving :)

    Anna_Banana....I actually DO NOT use fake sweetener....its a personal choice....

    Imagine, I dont BUY ice cream, or yogurt. Also I am not into coffee. My whey protein shakes only have 3 grams of sugar, and I have gotten local all natural honey still in the honey comb IF I want a little treat
    Also the diet I have been following has made me the healthiest I have EVER been in my life. I have never felt so much energy and am really starting to realize how important will power really is!!

    Thank you MFP for helping me attain my goals of healthy CLEAN eating!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Go to your local grocery story and get a container of healthy choice mint chocolate chip ice cream and mix it with a cup of skim milk and blend. I am sure it has to be less than half of those calories.

    30 pounds and about 4 years ago, when they put Shamrock Shake up on the sign I stopped and had one everyday until they went away again.... plus a big mac, fries, well you get the picture! Now I have one small shake once a year, just to get the taste that I love! Yeah it isn't healthy, but NONE of my old habits were, so one shake is worth it for me to run a little harder that day. And as Gray said, if I don't have it once I will obsess unitl I go overboard! I guess each of us has that thing that we are willing to splurge for! Shamrock shakes are mine!
