Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this festive, minty-green shake from The Roasted Root that’s a healthy riff on McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. There are no added sugars or artificial food coloring in this treat: It’s naturally sweetened with bananas and gets its green hue from mint leaves and spinach. Enjoy this refreshing, nutritious drink without breaking your calorie bank.
