Do you love the time of year when shamrock drinks are in season? This mint-flavored shake is famous for its green color, which ties perfectly to St. Patrick’s Day every March. At GNC, we’ve put a healthy twist to this fan-favorite recipe by adding more protein! This recipe calls for Irish Crème-flavored protein powder, which is the newest flavor addition to two of our top-selling products: Total Lean® Lean Shake 25 and GNC AMP Wheybolic. Plus, we’ve added a boost of nutrients from low-fat milk, half a banana, and fresh spinach (shhhh, you won’t even notice this secret ingredient – plus, it adds more of that green color)!

^Yes, this sounds like a ton of mint, but you need a lot to really get the freshness of the mint. Another option is to swap this out for about ¼ teaspoon of peppermint extract
