I mentioned in my earlier post that my friend and I were at McDonald's for lunch.
Today they were offering Shamrock Milkshakes. Somebody ordered one while we were standing in line, and something happened to the machine. It was spewing out green stuff all over. What a mess!
I tried to find a picture of a green one, but had to settle for this one.
A large one of these shakes is 820 calories, 23 grams fat, 115 gr. sugar and 260 mg. sodium, plus all the other ingredients. A medium is 660 calories, and a small 530. Not a very healthy snack to be sure.
Needless to say, we did not indulge in one.

That does sound good. Our milk shakes will have to wait until next month since money is at 0.

@celticeagle I hadn't had a Fish filet for a long time and it tasted good. I sometimes stop at the McDonald's in Walmart, but they don't have a full menu, so no fish.

Too many calories for me. Still, it looks tempting.

Ooh my, not healthy at all. I dont like those shakes much. They just are not tasty so therefore not worth almost 1,000 calories for sure. I know a lot of people who love Shamrock Shakes but I dont understand why. That would have been hilarious to see by the way!!

I have never understood the appeal of those huge thick shakes but people do love them.

I think its great that they want to get into the spirit of the day, but offering cucumber slices would be just as green and a lot more healthy for the patrons. Or even a green yogurt, there are a thousand other healthy choices they could have offered. But I guess its mostly for the very young that they do it for, right?

those shamrock shakes are popular today for St. Patricks Day but I wouldn't waste all my calories on one.

Apparently the calories in a large one are equal to 1.5 big macs, and not nearly the nutrition.
