Shakeology Shamrock Shake

Shakeology Shamrock Shake

Growing up, during St. Patrick's Day we used to have a day full of "green" items. We ate green eggs in the morning, from Dr. Seuss, we put green food coloring in our milk or drink of choice at dinner. At school we would have green sprinkles on cookies, cupcakes with green icing and green drinks for our classroom parties. I thought this was the most amazing day ever! I LOVED classroom parties because of all the yummy treats, but that was before thinking of what all the sugar did to my body, mood and brain! Not to mention what it did to my mom when I got home exploding with energy!

These are the "delicious" treats that have become apart of St. Patrick's Day, I have now come to love a brand new treat that satisfies my cravings, eliminates the sugar high and is packed full of nutrients. I heard that Shakeology Shamrock Shake was similar to the McDonald's Shamrock Milkshake and I did not understand how that was even possible! I thought there was no way that this could possibly taste anything similar to a milkshake from McDonalds' BUT let me tell you, it does! It definitely meets the requirements! :)

I can now have my Shamrock Shake during March, and get the ultimate benefits of more than 70 superfood, whole food ingredients. This is the equivalent to 6 salads in one meal! I do not feel bloated, miserable and I do not have to cheat on my diet, I still lose weight, get nutrients and get an energy boost. I absolutely LOVE to enjoy food, I love to have sweets and special treats, but I make all my treats in some healthy way-as much as possible, and this makes it so!

 
The ingredients you will need:
*8 oz unsweetened almond milk

*4 oz of ice and water

*Drop of peppermint extract or some mint water (NOTE:more is not better with this ingredient! Be very careful to add very little or else it will be completely ruined)

*1 tsp all natural peanut butter

*2 tbsp vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix

*1 packet or scoop of Greenberry Shakeology




















Blend and enjoy!!

3. Place the cinnamon and sugar on top of the apples
