Flashback Friday - Green Dishes for St. Patty's Day

We love the shakes at McD's but they are loaded with calories.
This recipe cuts the calories by more than 1/2.  Enjoy every 'skinny' sip!


Skinny Shamrock Shake



So quick and easy...and this one has a healthier option. 
Whip up a batch today! YUMM! 


Healthier Watergate Salad




Such a delicious & simple way to dress up yummy cabbage! 

Cheese Scalloped Cabbage



This scrumptious side dish is so tasty....roasting these little 'greens' makes them sweeter.

Flashback Friday - Super Side Dishes



OH.MY.STARS! AMAZING!  Cream cheese base for the sauce....I can make
a meal out of this fabulous dish. 


Creamy Taters, Green Beans & Caramelized Onions


These beans were voted PEOPLE'S CHOICE at a local bean festival. 
With lots of bacon, brown sugar and molasses....MMMMMM! 


Winning Baked Beans


This is a classic dish with a 'twist'....cream cheese instead of sour cream. Great for potlucks!!


Cream Cheesey Corn Bake


How fun...and simple...to dress up tater tots for a quick side dish....

Skinny Shamrock Shake {Weight Watchers}



Wanted to give you a 'heads up'...

I excitedly anticipate my return to Weekend Potluck NEXT Friday...
I've missed you all and look forward to being in the 'groove' with ya'll once again...


I love, and often make, Nancy's recipes at Skinny Kitchen , so when I came across this yummy shake recipe, I made it the same day!

I do love the seasonal shakes at McD's, but at 550 calories a shot, I have to live without, or share.  This recipe has 184 calories, ZERO fat and 5 Weight Watchers Points Plus!!  YIPPPEEE!!!

When we went shopping for the frozen nonfat vanilla yogurt, we came across some mint chocolate chip ice cream...NO SUGAR ADDED.  Since we both have to watch our sugar intake, we scooped it up and couldn't wait to get home to make it.  

Super Sensational...and anything I can make at home, is another plus. This recipe makes one serving, but is easily doubled or tripled. 

Happy St. Patty's Day...


And...you're welcome.  *-*



SKINNY SHAMROCK SHAKE

3/4 c. fat free frozen vanilla yogurt
1/2 c. fat-free milk
1/8 tsp. peppermint or mint extract
5 or 6 drops green food coloring
2 sm. pkgs. Truvia or Splenda or your fav sugar substitute
3 - 4 ice cubes 
fat free or light whipped cream, optional


Combine all shake ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Pour into a 16 oz glass. Top with light whipped cream, if desired and enjoy immediately. It tastes wonderful without the whipped cream, but if you're like me, it makes me feel a little more pampered to add it. 

Makes 1 (16 oz) servings
