Shamrock Shake Peppermint Hcg P2 Food

ALMOST-FAMOUS SHAMROCK SHAKE

Almost-Famous Shamrock Shake image

Green food for St. Patrick's Day is a purely American tradition - thanks in part to McDonald's. The chain dyed milkshakes green as a promotion in 1970 and is still cranking them out 50 years later. Shamrock Shakes have developed a bit of a cult following. Fans debate the flavor (it's officially vanilla-mint, but some insist there's a hint of lime) and frantically visit multiple locations to get their hands on one. Only certain spots sell them, and only in February and March. If you can't find one, get your fix with this recipe from our test kitchen.

CELERY "STUFFING" - HCG P2

Celery

When you want some good old fashioned stuffing to go with your chicken. Maybe not exactly the same thing but not bad. =) The melba toast (or Grissini breadsticks) are optional. You can also lay this on your allotted piece of protein (chicken would probably be preferable) and then roll up your chicken around it. Then bake. =)

1 cup celery (thinly sliced, or however you like it)

Cut celery into thin slices.

SKINNY SHAMROCK SHAKE

Skinny Shamrock Shake image

I found this on the Skinny Kitchen website and tried it with 2% milk and regular yogurt that I froze for an hour, and it was great. I don't follow the WW diet, so I can't speak for the accuracy of the WW information. But I've included all the WW info for those who want to know the point values, etc. One 16-ounce serving is WW (old plan) 4 points or WW (new plan) Points Plus 5. If you're looking to cut the calories and points, share it with someone, which one 8-ounce serving is still very satisfying and is WW (old plan) 2 points or WW (new plan) Points Plus 3.
