Shamrock Shake – everyone is familiar with this St Patrick’s Day treat from the golden arches. Since I no longer eat refined sugar or dairy, I wanted to come up with a treat that I could feel good about sharing with my little leprechauns.

This shamrock shake is a healthy version of the well loved, not-so-healthy version that is popular around St Patrick’s day. This shamrock shake is Paleo, dairy-free and refined sugar free.
