Snazzy Shamrock Shake Recipe
March 4, 2012 by Aimee • 74 Comments
It’s March…Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! Around here we’re all about making holidays super simple and special!!! McDonald’s has reintroduced their Shamrock Shake, and although I could totally go that route…I like surprising my sweeties with treats that flow from my hear to theirs best of all! My version is called the Snazzy Shamrock Shake and it’s so good! It’s the perfect Saint Patrick’s Day treat…a minty milkshake memory maker! And it’s definitely one of my sweet B’s favorites! Here’s how to make this yummy treat….
Snazzy Shamrock Shake Recipe:
Add 2 cups of mint chocolate chip ice cream {we totally love Blue Bell}, 3/4 – 1cup of milk and a tablespoon of green sprinkles to your blender.
The green and chocolate sprinkles throughout the minty cream is divine! The sprinkles throughout remind me of Chili’s awesome chocolate milkshake with sprinkles throughout…one of my sweet roommates in college introduced me and to this day, it still ranks high on my list!
Pulse the mixture 4-5 times or until just combined {too much blending and you’ll have a brown milkshake rather than a Snazzy Shamrock Shake Recipe}. Serve topped with whipped topping, green sprinkles, and a sprig of mint!
Great tip about not over-pulsing! I overmixed some food coloring this morning and we wound up with decidedly unappetizing cupcakes. Oh well, I’ll just frost the heck out of them and call it a day:)
My husband will love this! Thank you!
Would love you to join my link party: http://iamaddictedtorecipes.blogspot.com/p/link-party.html
Have a great weekend!
That looks good but, what I really love is the picture of your boy with his shake. I love how his eyes just pop with blue! He is too cute!
YUM!!! THis looks way better than some of the other green things people eat on St. Patrick’s Day… like green mashed potatoes or green eggs, no thank you!
OMG, this sounds and LOOKS delicious!!! I love his face–the eyes make it!
I hope you’ll link this recipe up to my St. Patty’s Day Project Parade! http://www.itsybitsypaperblog.com
Love a good milkshake! Yummy!

My husband is going to love this. He just asked me last night if I was in the mood for a Shamrock Shake. Normally I would have said yes, but I have been sick all weekend and didn’t want to chance it. Love we can make our own!

Gonna have to try this one, but have to wait till Lent is over .
I gave up CHOCHOLATE ! Sounds YUMMY !
Pure Deliciousness! And it looks pretty easy to make too:)
Mmmmmm – sounds wonderful — and that’s one happy fellow drinking it! I’d love it if you would consider linking with Busy Monday (open Monday through Thursdays) at A Pinch of Joy, a linky party for ideas that make life better, easier and more fun!
Love Bluebell too! We take our kids to the Bluebell factory every summer. It’s a two hour drive from where we live in Austin but it’s so fun. And delicious too! And they’ve got a great store full of Bluebell merchandise
Yummm! I love the idea of the sprinkles blended into the ice cream. I love McDonalds Shamrock Shakes, I haven’t had one yet this year, maybe I’ll have to make my own like yours!
Yum! So easy! Now we can all stop running for McDonalds at every craving haha
This really sounds soo tasty! I will have to try this out:)
Thanks for the great recipe. I’ll be making this on St.Patrick’s Day for my kids. Blessings to you

Yum! This looks great! I think the addition of cream and cute green sprinkles is just fab.
OOh that looks great. Shamrock shakes at MacDonald’s were always one of my favorites but this is probably a million times better!
Omg this is too cute! Would be great with Guinness Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting!… Great St. Patty’s Day treat! Where’s the corned beef??

This looks yummy. I would like to invite you to enter my Giveaway. I am celebrating my blog’s third birthday and would love to see you there.
Sounds decadent – and delish!
We don’t really do a whole lot for St. Patricks day here in Aus – unless you are Catholic, and sometimes my friends (who are Catholic) don’t even do it then! I have to say, though, that I think I might have to make this one for my boys – I’m sure it won’t last long!
Great tip to not over mix…I tend to have that problem because I don’t pay attention:-) The shake looks totally awesome and your little guy is too cute with those big blue eyes!!!
This looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing it at our Uncommonly Yours link party! Have a great week!
Take care,
Trish
