This is going to be one green post.
I think green foods are my favorite: Kale, broccoli, zucchini…
And mint-chocolate chip!!
Have you ever tried a McDonalds’ shamrock shake? I actually haven’t, but I make this shake at least once a month. It is so incredibly delicious… and so vibrantly green!
If Baskin & Robbins made their famous mint-chocolate-chip ice cream into a cupcake, I imagine it would taste something like this. Bonus points for adding chocolate chips to the batter.
This cookie-like oatmeal would make a perfect St. Patrick’s Day breakfast!
If you click on the above link, you’ll find a list of all my oatmeal recipes. Oatmeal is a staple in Ireland… you’ve gotta eat oatmeal on St. Patrick’s Day!
Yes, spinach. Don’t be scared! Just like with green smoothies, you cannot taste the spinach in this. It’s a great way to get kids begging for vegetables!
Looks like Jello pudding, but it’s much healthier! And don’t forget the gooey chocolate frosting…
A healthy alternative to the stuff you’d find at a fancy-schmancy ice cream parlor.
Just in case you were wondering where Leprechauns go for the winter, here is your answer: They go to Florida! They sit on the beach and eat key lime pie.
Try bringing this deliciously green dip to your St. Patrick’s Day party. I call it “Aspari-Dip” since I don’t think it tastes like avocado. But when I served it to a bunch of friends, they told me it was better than guacamole!
Question of the Day:
Are you going to eat anything green on St. Patrick’s Day?
Are you Irish? And do you make sure to wear green? I’m sure I’ll eat something green without even trying, since so many foods–especially veggies–are green. And I always wear green on St. Patrick’s Day… being pinched hurts! As for being Irish, my grandfather was a full-blooded Irishman, but I’ve never actually been to his homeland. I’d love to go someday.
Can’t wait to try all those recipes!
I just recently found out that i’m Irish! I’ve been researching my ancestry and learned that a lot of my paternal ancestors come from Tipperary or Dublin. So cool.
I’m celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by participating in a 5K run – ‘Chase the Leprechaun 5K.’ Guess who is the leprechaun!? Me! So, i will be the one dressed in green being chased by a crowd of people! Perfect!
LOL that sounds like so much fun! I’ve always wanted to do one of those themed runs… I don’t think I’d want your job, though. I’m too slow… everyone would catch me too fast!
I have been slowly transitioning to a vegan lifestyle the past several months and just stumbled upon your blog…and spent the last several hours bookmarking almost every recipe, wow! I definitely had my doubts about being able to still indulge in dessert…real dessert, without compromising health, but no more! I am so excited to find someone as passionate about her sweet tooth as I am, and so glad to find some desserts that can be both delicious AND healthy, thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to get in the kitchen!!
Aw so glad my site can help! I completely know where you’re coming from… When I first heard of veganism I thought vegans couldn’t even eat chocolate!
hi Katie!!
I made the cupcakes with the banana frosting and some chocolate chips – HOLY MAN they are delish!!! 🙂 thank you so so much for your recipes – i made the raw pb cookie dough yesterday (i added chocolate chips.. hehe) and have a can of coconut milk turning in to cool whip as we speak 😉 maybe some pancakes…. anywho – i love your blog and your recipes 🙂 i’m such a huge fan!

Aww thank you so much! I’m so happy you like the recipes… it always makes me so happy when someone tries one of my recipes! 🙂
I’m just a teeny bit Irish. I don’t usually eat anything green, but i do try to wear something green. This whole weekend will be celebrating because of St. Patrick’s Day and the day after is my birthday!
I would love to make the homemade Shamrock Shake. I used to get those at McD’s when I was in college.
I never celebrate St. Patrick’s day and I don’t even have anything greener than khaki in my closet 😀 . But odds are I will eat something green anyway because I need my vegetables.
Great green recipes! That fudge pie the most beautiful pie I’ve ever seen! The green is so vibrant and looks delicious with that rich chocolate. I’ve made my own shamrock shakes, they are yummy!! I might need to make a few of these for St. Patty’s! 🙂 Thanks for all the green ideas!
Wow, all of these look so yummy, I will have to try at least one! I’m a St. Patty’s Day Baby, so I always wear green & since I’m now vegan, I will have to try one of your green desserts!
now we are talking! Perfect post… I have had enough of this mint talk all around…and want this rich, luscious, heavenily chocolate recipes! ahhhh.Much better!
🙂
Thanks for such creative post.
Green overnight oats for me on St. Patricks, along with green tea perhaps! I’ll have to try that Shamrock Shake, looks delish!
you just know how to make me really long for some of these!
