Healthy Shamrock Shake Recipe

Hello and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’ve got a treat for you guys today: a Healthy Shamrock Shake recipe! It’s vegan, too.

Back in the day, I used to love the seasonal Shamrock Shake from a certain fast food restaurant. I hadn’t had or thought of one of those shakes in years until Matt and I drove by an advertisement for them the other day. Oh my gosh – Shamrock Shakes! I’d forgotten all about those! I decided I had a new mission: create a healthy but still delicious version at home.

I set to work on the project yesterday with Matt’s assistance. The secret ingredient? Avocado!

Have you guys ever had avocado in a smoothie before? Matt was super skeptical of the addition but in the end, he became a believer. 😉 Try it – avocado makes smoothies really creamy and awesome, and you can’t taste it. Adds some healthy fat to the mix, too!
