You love them, they are only around for a limited time and it’s hard to justify going to McDonald’s for a Shamrock Shake every night, right?? Well you are in luck! Today I am sharing my copycat Shamrock Shake Recipe!! I have seen several copy cat recipes for this delicious minty green shake but mine is a combination of several with a bit of me put in there too {chocolate!!!! } I make this shake in my single serve blender that is a knock off of the Magic Bullet! I got it at Wal-Mart for about $15.88 and it was originally to make Ryan his baby food. Now it makes me smoothies and Copycat Shamrock Shakes and is still running great!
With that being said you can increase this recipe for regular blender sizes as well. It’s not a science!
I got a little “crazy” and I added some sugar free chocolate sauce on the top. I made one for Michael and I put mini-chocolate chips on it! It then reminded me of mint chocolate chip ice-cream!

Yummy!! I like your version because you added chocolate!! I think mint should not be without chocolate…they go hand in hand. LOL!!

I worship Shamrock Shakes! It’s about the only thing that gets me into McD’s these days (ok who am I kidding, their coffee and me are like this). Can’t wait to make this!

My husband just got me a mint shake from Arby’s last night… So similar! This looks easy enough for me to make… This can be dangerous. :)

Holy yum! I HAVE to try this! We love the ones from McDs, but how nice to be able to make them at home. Well, maybe not nice for my waistline. :) I’ll be featuring this on my blog tomorrow!
