Many loyal customers dedicated to McDonald anticipate the arrival of Minty Shake, which strikes national menus in mid-February and sticks only for a limited time. This year, the festive drink will be sold until Sunday, March 24, but how much do you really know about Shake - and what exactly are there?

The timeless frozen treat has been in fact for a few decades; It was originally called theSt. Patrick Shake back when he debuted in 1970 and 2014, more than60 million Shamrock Shakes have been estimated to be sold since its creation.

As a restoration and nutrition site, we had the impression of fearing exactly what Shamrock Shake from McDonald's Shamrock is made and let you enter what is there. To do this correctly, we consultedMaryann Walsh, MFN, RD, CRO's licensed dietary and certified diabetes educator, for more insight.

What exactly is McDonald Shake Shake Shake?

"TheShake Shamrock is a sugar bomb at 63 grams of sugar and 74 grams of carbohydrates for a small, "explains Walsh. It's all sugar than 16 sugar packages, she says." While the majority of its 460 calories come from carbohydrates and sugar, also has 13 grams of fat and 8 grams of saturated fat. "

You also wonder what makes the drink green, right? It is a combination of artificial colors, especially yellow 5 and blue 1. This green hue does not arrive at natural mint - it comes from something just called Shake Shamrock syrup! The other two ingredients: ice cream with vanilla fat and whipped light cream.

"One of them as a super indulgent treatment should not do a lot of harm, but regular consumption could surely start packing on the books," says Walsh. It is better to enjoy the festive drink with moderation, people.

What would be a healthier dessert option to get to McDonald's and why?

"As a dietician who is not anti-mickey of S, I am a big fan of their service cone with soft vanilla serve. Although it is not particularly low in sugar or carbohydrate without [with] 24 grams of sugar and 32 grams of total carbohydrates, it has 5 grams of fat and 5 grams of protein and is located at 200 calories, "says Walsh." It's not a horrible option when you want a frozen treat gentle."

Walsh says an even better way to satisfy your creamy and creamy desire would be to order ice cream in a cup or, if the McDonald is close to you, get the size of Kiddie. "The Kiddie cone arrives at 45 calories, 6 grams of sugar, 8 grams and 1 gram of fat." It is about a quarter of the calories, and especially less sugar, carbohydrates and grease!

"You can make your own shamrock shake attacker at home! You can use light ice cream or preferred vanilla protein powder with mint extract extracts, add zero calories and sugar," says Walsh.
