Like the first sighting of a robin, a pale green minty Shamrock Shake is an annual reminder that spring is on its way. And when you make a homemade version of this fast-food favorite with real ice cream, milk and a refreshing hint of peppermint, you'll feel even more invigorated for the change of season. It's magically delicious that way!

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla ice cream (regular or nondairy)
1 cup low-fat milk (see Tip)
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
1-2 drops natural green food coloring
Whipped cream, fresh mint sprigs and sprinkles for garnish (optional; see Tip)

Directions

Place ice cream, milk, peppermint extract and food coloring in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour into 2 tall glasses and top with whipped cream, fresh mint sprigs and/or sprinkles, if desired.

Tips

If you prefer a thicker shake, you can reduce the amount of milk to 1/2 cup. For a festive look, we like the brand Supernatural's Field Day and Into the Woods sprinkles, available from Amazon.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
