HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

A little food for thought or maybe I should say a little Shamrock Shake for thought?  Have you every thought what the ingredients were in a MacDonald's Shamrock Shake?  I know I really did not pay too much attention to this but you may want to be aware of some of the ingredients.

To begin, 820 calories, 23 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat and 115 grams of sugar (quantities provided for large shake).  Now for the ingredients and I am not going to list all due to space availability.   Artificial colors, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor, sodium benzoate, Polysorbate 80.  These are negative ingredients and studies have shown that artificial food colors have caused adverse behavioral reactions such as hyperactivity and immune reactive disorders. 

It's time for a better option, one that is still tasty but also offers "super" nutrition.  The Healthy Shamrock Shake Smoothie.  To receive the recipe, go to our website: www.healthyhabitstoday.net and leave your information.  Happy St. Patrick's Day and don't drink too many of the Shamrock Shakes unless it is a Healthy one.
