Shamrock Shake

In honor of St. Patrick‘s Day, here is a festive green recipe. It literally tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but it is packed with nutrients. The mint and the fiber from the fruits and veggies in this recipe aids digestion, so it’s the perfect way to kickstart your morning! You can either make it a shake or a smoothie bowl depending on your preference. I hope you enjoy it, and don’t forget to wear green, and also eat your greens today!
