DIY: 5 Minute Shamrock Shake

So we know McDonald's isn't known for promoting healthy eating but I think that their new shamrock shake is on another level. I know it tastes so good but what if you could recreate the recipe but a healthy one? Now even the one I have created here is not overly healthy but it has 1/3 of all the "bad stuff" in and tasted the same! 

You can use this for a treat or recovery shake!
