15 St Patrick’s Day Drinks for ALL the family to enjoy
St Patrick’s Day Smoothies
McDonald’s traditionally serves a delicious Shamrock Smoothie for St Patrick’s Day but as Modern Mom points out the recipe changed in recent years so she’s come up with a Copycat McDonald’s Shamrock Shake that tastes just as it used to.
If you like Key Lime Pie then this Key Lime Pie Smoothie from Healthful Pursuit then this smoothie version is perfect for you or if you are willing to share then the kids as well.
Not all of St Patrick’s Day treats and drinks have to be unhealthy this Shamrock Green Smoothie from Two Healthy Kitchens contains at least one of your required fruit and vegetables for the day plus extra iron.
If you are on a health kick then this Matcha Pear Green Smoothie from Upstate Ramblings contains fruits as well as Matcha Green Tea Powder which is super healthy and good for you.
A fabulous flavour combination pear and ginger (our Cinnamon and Apple Cake can easily be made with Pear and Ginger instead and tastes just as good) and this Ginger Pear Smoothie from Sidewalk Shoes combines those two flavours in a green smoothie perfect for St Patrick’s Day breakfast.
Another super healthy smoothie that contains some extra boosts is this Limy Mint Charm Smoothie from Creative Green Living. The mint and the lime are two of my favourite smells and the are some of the essential oil combinations that I use to boost my mood so I can just imagine how great you feel after drinking this.
This Green Lemonade again from Creative Green Living is refreshing and VERY GREEN. With the recommendation of buying organic and natural ingredients, it would be a great way to kick start your St Patrick’s Day celebrations and give you the energy to keep going all day long.
Vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, superfood containing,sugar-freee and Paleo (well I think I’ve covered everything there) Peppermint Patty Smoothie from The Big Mans World is creamy, cool and delicious as well as being good for you – but maybe we don’t tell the kids that part!
St Patrick’s Day Mocktails
This St. Patrick’s Kid Friendly Tini from Anders Ruff is perfect for kids and taste great without a drop of alcohol inside. I know my green loving eldest who is one of the fussiest eaters ever would be willing to give this a try this year.
Mocktails are great for family parties when the adults like to enjoy a cocktail and this Copycat Xanadew Fiiz from Dessert Now Dinner Later looks just like a St Patrick’s Day cocktail but with none of the alcohol so is perfect for the youngest members of the family.

Two flavours that really work together for me – chocolate and mint and this Mint Chocolate Chip Green Smoothie from Sugar, Spice and Family Life combines the two into a perfect St Patrick’s Day Drink for kids and you to enjoy.
These Lime Sherbert Green Floats from Home Cooking Memories would be perfect for my kids. Unlike me, they really enjoy the sourness of limes and will happily drink and eat anything that has them in.
