Make your own Shamrock Shake

I’m not Irish, but I still wonder how I will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with my kids. When I’m a mom, will I dye toilet bowl water and gallons of milk green just for their amusement?

Why wait until I have wee ones to get creative? Maybe tonight I’ll make myself this Shamrock Shake, which was inspired by the McDonald’s original:

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake Copycat Recipe

• 3 cups good quality vanilla ice cream
• 1 3/4 cups 1% milk
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Green food coloring if desired

Blend all ingredients in a blender until completely thick and smooth. Pour into glasses and serve!
