Shamrock Star!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, people! To celebrate, we've got a McDonald's-inspired Shamrock Shake swap that's sure to make Ronald green with envy. Creamy vanilla goodness with a hint of mint... Mmmmmm!

Ingredients:
3/4 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup Breyers Double Churn Free Creamy Vanilla fat-free ice cream
1 tbsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
2 drops green food coloring
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda)
1 1/2 cups crushed ice (8 - 12 ice cubes' worth)

Directions:
Place Coffee-mate in a glass and add 1 tbsp. very hot water. Stir until powder dissolves, and then transfer mixture to a blender.

Add all other ingredients to the blender. Blend at high speed until mixed thoroughly. Sláinte! (That's the Irish way of saying, "Cheers!" -- we know 'cuz we Googled it.)

I have another recipe for these that I make for some of the youth groups I work with. It's from 3aday.org

1 cup lowfat milk
2T pistachio pudding
1/2 crushed chocolate mint sandwich cookie

Combine, enjoy

Obviously using sugar free pudding mix would cut the calories but I don't have time to run it through an analyzer right now. Still, this can be changed up to make any shake, cheap and yummy!
