Shamrock ‘n’ Roll Shake
Shamrock Shakes! Because I am trying to bring down my weight, I have only had 2 this year. I was really excited when I opened my email this morning and found this recipe for a weight watcher friendly version from Hungry Girl (aka Lisa Lillien).
PER SERVING (entire recipe): 175 calories, 4g fat, 150mg sodium, 29g carbs, 2g fiber, 13.5g sugars, 7.5g protein – PointsPlus™ value 5*
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. sugar-free French vanilla powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee-mate)
3/4 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup fat-free vanilla ice cream (like Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Fat Free)
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
2 drops green food coloring
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
1 1/2 cups crushed ice (8 – 12 ice cubes’ worth)

BTW, if you make this with light ice cream instead of fat-free, your shake will have 190 calories, 7g fat, and aPointsPlus™ value of 5*. Not bad. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, people!
