Delicious St. Paddy’s Day Shake Recipe

By Bari Life

Did you know a small size Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s has a jaw-dropping 530 calories and 73 grams of sugar? We sure didn’t!!!

If you’ve ever been tempted to grab one of these festive green shakes, look no further! Our Bari Life take on this festive treat will save you loads of calories and packs in more than 3X the protein, so you’ll actually feel full and satisfied!

Our version is so thick and creamy that you may mistake it for a MickeyD delight, but the best part is you’re not going to wreck your diet and it tastes downright AMAZING!

It’s time to get your St. Paddy’s Day “fix” with this lean, green protein shake 🙂
