Healthy Shamrock Shake

The Shamrock Shake has been around for years from a large fast food chain that starts with a big yellow M, that shall remain nameless.  Although, it taste great, check out the nutrional information:

Recently I ran across a much healthier option.  Here is the recipe for my Shakeology Shamrock Shake:

1 cup milk (I used coconut milk, but you can use skim, 2%, almond, rice, any type of milk)
1 scoop Shakeology Greenberry
2 TBLS PB2 (This is powdered peanut butter.  If you haven't heard of this, check it out here:  http://bellplantation.com)
1 TBL sugar free / fat free Jello Cheesecake pudding mix
1-2 drops of peppermint extract

Blend all ingredients in blender with ice to make a thick 24 ounce shake.



Here is the nutritional information:
