All year long, I eagerly await one thing: Shamrock Shake season. This delicious, minty ice cream treat is only around for a limited time, so I decided to try making a homemade shamrock shake this year. It was a success, and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Plus, now I can enjoy this tasty treat all year.

Directions:
1. Combine ice cream, milk, oreo filling, oreo, vanilla, and mint in a blender. Blend until smooth. If the shake isn’t green enough, now is the time to add a few drops of food coloring, pulsing until blended.
2. Pour shake mixture into a pretty glass and top with your choice of toppings. (I picked whipped cream, crushed oreo, and cherries for mine.)
Enjoy!
