When is St. Patrick’s Day? March 17th. What is St. Patrick’s Day? It is a day that celebrates the arrival of the Christian church in Ireland as well as Ireland as a country. I am a Christian and part Irish and therefore, I love this holiday. Really, I love all holidays, but this one includes my favorite color – green and celebrates part of my heritage which makes it even more fun. I can’t wait to celebrate this year with Hampton and teach him a few traditions I grew up with.

– Wear green so you don’t get pinched


-Leave your shoes outside your bedroom door the night before so the leprechauns can fill them with candy.


-Drink a green Shamrock Shake from McDonalds


-Look for a lucky 4 leaf clover.


-Go to a parade.


-Bake some (green) M&M cookies and add green food coloring to make them extra lucky.

Are you Irish? Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

In honor of Saint Patrick, I thought I’d share my favorite Green Smoothie Recipe. This smoothie is my favorite go-to as an on-the-go breakfast or post-workout recovery drink. It’s filling and super healthy. It’s around 160 calories. Not bad, huh? Try it and thank me later because this sucker is delish!
