Shamrock Smoothie Bowl

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

This Shamrock Smoothie Bowl is very similar to my Heart Smoothie Bowl for Valentine’s Day if you caught that last month. A kid-friendly smoothie bowl for every holiday is a nutritious way to celebrate. We created this bright green smoothie, making it as a healthy green food option that is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any day!

My 9 year old has been asking to make another smoothie featuring fresh spinach so we made these over the weekend that this weekend. If you knew him, you would know he is not a fan of most veggies so this is a big deal. Last time I made a smoothie with spinach we didn’t even blog it. While it tasted great, unfortunately the color resembled some not-so-pleasant things.

I made sure to stick with green foods or colors that would only compliment. (If you don’t have a good blender, I highly recommend a Ninja blender. We have had ours for several years and love it. It crushes ice like it is no big deal. You can find one on Amazon to suit your needs!)

While I admit that the heart shape turned out better last month with pomegranate, I think the pineapple worked. We tried a chia seed version where we created an outline of the shamrock instead and let the green smoothie shine through. Unfortunately many of the chia seeds clung to the shamrock cutter so the shape wasn’t as clear.

I used a 3 inch shamrock cookie cutter. You can find a lot of options on Amazon!

Wesley really wanted to eat his smoothie as a bowl but Warren liked the idea of still being able to drink it. While this green smoothie bowl is thick, it can easily still fit through a straw.

To dress up our milk jug glasses, I used a gold paper straw and a shamrock sticker I picked up at the dollar store! Warren made me laugh with his reaction to the taste of the smoothie. I’m not going to lie, this smoothie tastes awesome! My kids absolutely loved it.

  1. I would love it if my girls would have this. Maybe if I let them make it and see the whole process it would entice it. I know I’d love it…and I do see your shamrock!

    This is a really great smoothie bowl to make for St. Patrick’s Day. My kids would love for me to make this for them and it looks so healthy!

    This sure looks healthy and yummy. The kids can make this smoothie, with help with the chopping, and makes them love even greens in their smoothie. I just got some pineapple, I’d love to try this.
