Lucky charms and green milk

 

I put lucky charms in a bowl and added green food coloring to my son’s milk. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

 

I had a very healthy shamrock shake.

 

1 c almond milk

1 banana

2 c spinach

1 tsp flax seeds

½ tsp peppermint extract

½ c blueberries

2 tbsp carob chips

 

Blend together. Yum

 

 

Vegan Corned beef

 

I love corned beef, and its one of my favorite parts of St Patrick’s day. The downside is corned beef really isn’t that good for me. I found a great alternative, which has all the flavor and none of the yuckiness.

1 c wheat gluten

¼ c nutritional yeast

1 tbsp onion powder

2 tbsp corned beef spice, ground

½ tsp minced garlic

Salt & pepper

Roll a Leprechaun game

 

I love playing this with the whole family. Its really easy and a lot of fun. You need blank paper, markers and 2 dice.

 

Every body playing gets paper and markers. As you roll the dice, what your score is what you draw for your leprechaun (see chart)
