Scrumptious Sunday Swap - Shamrock Shake

I crave McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes like nothing else! So every year around this time, I’m also on the lookout for them. They seem to be harder and harder to find though.

I’ve decided that instead of wasting time searching for a McDonald’s that is selling them, we’re going to make our own this year.

Shamrock Shake

  • 2 c. vanilla ice cream
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1/4 t. mint extract
  • 4-6 drops green food coloring (optional, but use if you want the traditional appearance)

1. Blend all together in a blender. Serve and enjoy. Easy as that!

Join us each week as Happy to be at Home hosts a virtual recipe swap. It is easy as pie to participate. Link your recipe post (any post, old or new) to our Mr. Linky. We can’t wait to read and try all of your yummy recipes. We will be posting a new Mr. Linky every Sunday, so you can add a new recipe each week!

Please remember to link your recipe post and not your blog homepage, that way our readers can find your recipe. Please remember to link back to Happy to be at Home so others can find out about the swap and participate!

    My husband loves, loves, loves Shamrock Shakes…they have gotten so expensive, however, that he doesn’t get them. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!
