Skinny Shamrock Shakes


Love the taste of McDonald's Shamrock Shake's but don't want all of the fat that comes with it? Not to mention all of the Weight Watchers Points that you waste in just one small shake. For instance, a 12 oz. vanilla shake is 14 points plus, or 25 smart points.....yuck! This skinny version tastes almost identical to the one from McDonald's. If you love that creamy minty ice cream drink, you should definitely make these! Instead of topping them with a cherry, I add a small amount of cherry juice on top for the flavor.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt
1 c. 1% milk
1/8-1/4 tsp. mint extract
5 drops green food coloring
4 packs Splenda
7 ice cubes


Combine all of the above ingredients in a blender. Pour into two classes, and top with whipped cream.
(Makes 2 shakes, 6 WW points per shake.)
