It’s that time of year again. St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and it just happens to be my favorite holiday (since there’s Irish in my blood and it’s my birthday)! With this all things green holiday comes the return of the “Shamrock Shake” and while it is oh so delicious it is also oh so full of calories. I read somewhere recently that 1 shake has more that 600 calories in it. I was looking for a frozen drink that would have a similar flavor but wouldn’t be so heavy and that’s how my Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe was born. You’ll love it!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Begin by mixing a small amount of green food coloring into your milk. If you want to keep the recipe as low in calories as possible you can use a fat free milk or milk substitute.
Next combine your coffee ice cubes, the now green milk, sugar, peppermint extract, and chocolate syrup in your blender or frappe maker.
Blend on high until the mixture reaches desired consistency. I like mine to be a bit more frozen so I use extra coffee ice cubes and not as much milk. Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped topping and additional chocolate syrup if you desire!
You’ll love the flavor of the Mint Chocolate Shamrock Frappe and it will remind you of mint chocolate ice cream or that high calorie shake without the guilt! You can certainly make this same treat without the green food coloring anytime or skip adding the food coloring for health reasons. It will taste just as great!
