    Thanks! I love shamrock shakes so I can't wait to try this lighter version. Although I may still need to try the orginal again just for test purposes of course ;-)

    green food coloring
    Why?

    Honestly, I am failing to grasp the appeal of this concept.

    So it's green for St. Patrick's day...

    I like the person's idea with almond milk & protein powder.
    What about using plain yogurt (regular or greek) and like slightly freezing it?

    That is the part I don't get. How putting something in your body that wasn't grown, or doesn't have parents, and you can't even taste it, make it more springtime or Irish or whatever?

    Likewise, I don't get red velvet cake.

    The spinach idea sounds like something I might try.

    I didn't get red velvet cake either until I learned they used to color it with beets. That I might try.

    Sounds good! I haven't tried it, but I think I would do this:

    1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    a little sugar or splenda
    peppermint extract
    green food coloring
    ice
    thats exactly what i was thinking.
    im not a big fan of the ones from mcdonalds - but love jack in the box ones. more of a mint oreo kinda thing iirc
    would try it this way once and then once with spinach instead of the food coloring and see if theres much of a taste difference

    i was going to try a shamrock shake at mcdonalds for the first time but i didnt know if it was good or not... ?? is it...

    I go to McDonald's once a year and that's it. A friend and I go every year on St Patty's day and get a shamrock shake and fries.

    It's totally worth it as a once a year treat.

    I'd also comment that I hate Hungry Girl's use of chemical fake foods, but food from McDonald's is just as full of chemicals and artificial flavors so this recipe's a win if you just want to cut down on the calories.

    This just made my heart skip a beat. These are my favorite but since I am dieting I haven't had one this year. I want to run out and buy the stuff to make it right now.
