Shamrock Shake {McDonalds Copycat} – A vanilla-mint shake with chocolate swirl and whipped cream! Perfect for St. Patty’s Day!

So, funny story about St. Patty’s Day. I told you that it is actually my favorite holiday. No really, it is. Because everything is green. (queue cheesy smile) But when I was growing up we had some debate at our house. See, my mother’s side is Irish. But my father hasn’t a drop of Irish blood. Most of us just celebrate St. Patrick’s Day for the fun of it. My siblings and I always took it seriously cause well, we’re like a quarter Irish. But my dad…. he refuses to celebrate it. He purposely wears red white and blue on St. Patrick’s Day every. single. year. And do not pinch him. Ohhhhh do not pinch him. That would be a big fat mistake. Tempting I know, but just don’t do it. I’m looking out for your health.

Me? I’m all kinds of decked out on St. Patty’s Day. My senior year in high school I wore green shoes, green socks, and a green track suit to school on St. Patty’s Day. I’m telling you, I take it very seriously. Plus I don’t like getting pinched so that encourages the green-wearing. But this recipe. Have you ever tried a Shamrock Shake from McDonalds? They only have it for one month of the year – March. And baby oh baby is it good stuff. Gonna be honest, not usually a Mickey-D’s fan but for this shake? Yeah I’m a fan once a year. But now I don’t need to leave my house to get a Shamrock Shake AND I can have it all year long! Woot woot! My husband and I downed this stuff faster than you can say – “drink up!” Annnnd then the brain freeze came.
