Skinny Shamrock Shake

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

Here's a shake you won't feel guilty about having as a post workout treat.

Ingredients:
Handful of baby spinach (10 calories)
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (70 calories)
1 small container of french vanilla greek yogurt (110 calories)
1 cup of vanilla almond milk (30 calories)
A few drops of peppermint extract. 
Ice

In a blender combine the spinach and the milk first. It will look like spinach "soup." Combine the remainder of the ingredients.

The shake will be naturally green from the spinach but if you'd like it greener add a drop of green food coloring.

Shake is approximately 220 calories. Less than half the calories of a McDonald's Shamrock Shake. Score!
