Tis the season for Shamrock Shakes and Girl Scout “Thin Mint” cookies. (Those Girl Scouts are cruel! They set up a table outside of a Weight Watchers storefront.) I can totally get onboard for the whole minty, creamy, chocolate taste bud explosion but I cannot get behind the ingredients of those shakes and cookies. I crafted something way better and pretty darn tasty. Meet the “Thin Mint” smoothie.

• 3/4 cup plain, 2% Greek yogurt or cashew yogurt
