GD shamrock shake substitute

Raeannaobr

I am usually one of the first in line at McD's when shamrock shake season comes around, so I was quite sad this year when I knew I couldn't indulge without crazy consequences - not to mention, the last few I had over the years were not as good as I recall back in the day...so I started doing research...

Hungry Girl has created a recipe for a shamrock shake that is not exact, but very good and only 2 carb servings as she made it, though I substituted sugar-free ice cream instead! I made one today for my husband and myself and we both thought it was delish! I think this might get me through my major ice cream cravings, as that is my biggest weakness!

Enjoy!

3/4 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/2 cup Breyers Double Churn Free Creamy Vanilla fat-free ice cream
