In college, my best friend and I decided that it would be more appropriate to call Saint Patrick's Day, "It's GREAT to be a Murphy Day!'" At that time we were hard pressed to find much opposition, considering most of our friends were posing as Murphy's to make the most of the holiday anyway :)
Six years later, despite my new last name, I still celebrate the 17th in true Murphy Fashion and attempt to spread green goodness to all that I come in contact with.
For the past 2 years, McDonald's has helped to make my "Green" initiative even easier by offering its seasonal shake in all 14,000 of its US restaurants. Having first appeared on their menu in 1970, the Shamrock shake has developed a cult- like following and continues to grow in popularity each March.
With some not so great nutritional stats (i.e. the 8 grams of saturated fat and the 82 grams of sugar), this Shamrock "Shakeup" is a much better option. Not only is the sugar count down to 19 grams, but the addition of avocados and organic yogurt make this treat a true "pot of gold!"
