I love the idea of a delicious minty green milkshake just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. So I thought it would be fun to share my homemade version of a classic. This copycat shamrock shake is cool and refreshing. The key to this recipe is the combination of vanilla and peppermint. Just like my red velvet cake batter milkshake, I used low fat, slow churned ice cream for this recipe, which saves a bit on calories but keeps all the amazing flavor!

This post made me crave this shake so badly that I had to run (drive) to the store for vanilla ice cream. We’re all slurping away at the deliciousness right now 🙂
Does this work well with mint ice cream?
