Copycat Mcdonald's Shamrock Shake

Kree's Note:

I used to absolutely love it when McDonald's brought out their Shamrock Shakes around St. Patrick's Day. The past couple of years I haven't been able to have it because of the dairy, so I was thrilled when I found this copycat recipe! Just use the soy ingredients to make it dairy-free.

McD's Shamrock Shakes are one of my husband's faves. We all loved this recipe. I added a little sea salt to reduce clumping and give because fast food shakes tend to have that slight salt taste. Just a little does the trick! Thanks for the recipe!

THANK YOU SO MUCH...They stopped serving these on St.Patrick's Day and it was so disappointing. These make up for it though...Delicious.
