Funkins // St.Pat’s Fun & Healthy Shamrock Shakes

Babiekins Magazine || St. Pat's Fun

Happy St. Patrick’s Day friends!
Growing up with Irish blood, we have always celebrated our Irish heritage BIG in our home. We went to our local St. Patrick’s parade every year and we gathered with friends and family for a feast that my Mom would make.
Since having a family of my own, I continue to celebrate and teach my children of the Irish culture.
My Dad use to say , ” the Irish aren’t particularly known for their exquisite cuisine…. you rarely hear people say , let’s go to the Irish restaurant”. Although I myself find a lot of Irish dishes very yummy, sometimes little ones don’t find lamb, corned beef, veggies, potatoes and cabbage very “yummy”. This year in addition to our traditional Irish food, I decided to make Shamrock shakes for the girls ( even though they aren’t really Irish). HEALTHY Shamrock shakes that is….. for the whole family! We have been making them all week and like pairing it with some tradional Irish soda bread. To make your very own healthy shamrock shake, follow the recipe below:

+ 1 overripe large banana, peeled and frozen
+ 1/8 tsp to 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract (I like 1/4 tsp)
+ up to 1 cup almond milk ( or milk of choice)
+ 1/4 cup frozen spinach
+ Green Food Coloring ( optional)
and blend!
Makes one big serving.

Our family leaves you with some old Irish proverbs…..

“May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.”

“For each petal on the shamrock,
This brings a wish your way.
Good Health, good luck, and
Happiness for today and every day.”

Copyright © 2022 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
