DIY Shamrock Shake

This one goes out to the ones who love a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Made with a little over a handful of ingredients — including the cherry — this DIY recipe is super-duper easy to make but it comes out of the blender minty fresh and straw-defyingly thick. We love the classic pop of color that cherry adds, but it would also be amazing with chocolate sprinkles or a few crushed Oreos on top.

That’s the beauty of having the recipe: you can make it your way on St. Patrick’s Day or any old day.
