The traditional Irish holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, is fast approaching, and like every other year, it’s a period where green takes all the shine. Different chains have started rolling out green-themed drinks and meals to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day. From the infamous Shamrock Shake to green bagels, here are five green foods to try this St. Patrick’s Day.
Einstein Bros. Bagels Green Shmear
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, different offers like green doughnuts and bagels have become annual menu items. This green shmear is one of those unique offerings.

Instead of green bagels, this shmear keys into the green theme. Called the Shamrock Shmear, this special plain cream cheese dyed a vibrant green is only available to walk-in customers. The offer is available only on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17.
McDonald’s Shamrock Shake
St. Paddy’s Day is officially Shamrock Day since St. Patrick used the plant as a metaphor to depict the Holy Trinity. What tastier way is there to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to splurge on McDonald’s Shamrock Shake?

The drink features mint syrup blended with vanilla and a topping of whipped cream. The Shamrock Shake has been available at participating restaurants nationwide since February 5.
Noodles & Company St. Patrick’s Day Entrées
This is more of an unconventional St. Patrick’s Day offer, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tasty. Noodles & Company has a St. Patrick’s Day deal dubbed ‘Saving Greens’.

What this deal entails is simple: customers get a free small entrée when they buy any entrée at any location. This offer is only available on St. Patrick’s Day. Opt for something green like the pesto fusilli.
Krispy Kreme St. Patrick’s Day doughnuts
No list of St. Paddy’s Day offers would be complete without Krispy Kreme’s doughnut special. Krispy Kreme has a collection that includes the St. Patrick’s Shamrock and the Luck O’ the Rainbow doughnuts.

However, the free green doughnuts are the most popular. They are Original Glazed Doughnuts but green in color. To get a free doughnut, you just have to wear green to any of its shops- no purchase is required.
McDonald’s Oreo Shamrock McFlurry
Trust McDonald’s to always satisfy us with innovative offers on holidays. Well, for this year’s St. Patrick’s Day, the restaurant is also offering the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry shake.

This shake is sprinkled with crushed Oreos throughout, so if you don’t fancy the classic Shamrock shake, this is a variant you can’t say no to. Of course, the McFlurry shake doesn’t leave out the green color.
