Jodi Lariviere shares seasonal recipes that are as healthy as they are yummy
The first few thoughts that come to mind when you think St. Patrick’s day are green, beer and leprechauns. Well, your kids might not be old enough for beer, but what’s to stop them from enjoying a festive green drink?!
These pistachio ‘leprechaun’ milkshakes are great to make as a family. Letting your kids measure out the milk, count the scoops of ice cream and share their creation with the family helps practice kindness, math and motor skills with tasty results.
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 package of instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
- Optional few drops of green food colouring for an added punch of colour
Mix all ingredients in a blender and serve!
