What was once just a religious feast in the 17th century has somehow evolved into a grand celebration of Irish culture with plenty of parades and festivals all over the world. And what is a holiday without food? Or better yet, dessert?

6. Shamrock healthy drink
One of the most popular green candy recipes, McDonald’s famous shamrock, is now synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day. For a limited time each year, shakes made with green, mint, and vanilla ice cream are sold by the millions.
But even a small Shamrock drink comes close to 500 calories. I firmly believe that indulging now and then is part of a healthy lifestyle, but aside from not being naturally green, there are some other not-so-great ingredients like corn syrup and preservatives like sodium benzoate.
So why not make your own healthy version at home? This healthy homemade Shamrock smoothie is made with good-for-you ingredients like Greek yogurt, avocado, spinach, and fresh mint leaves.
