Review- Shaken Udder NEW Strawberries & Clotted Cream Milkshake

A few weeks, I was contacted by Nikki (Hi Nikki! Thanks Nikki! Happy Sunday Nikki!) asking if I would be interested in trying the NEW Strawberries & Clotted Cream Milkshake by Shaken Udder. As I am not crazy, I accepted this generous offer and 3 bottles of the baby pink stuff turned up on my doorstep, not to long after. 

Parading its pips on the outside, Britains best berry earned its name from the farmers stuffing straw around their plants. We blended this scrumptious strawberries in a bottle with Rodda's divine Cornish clotted cream. 

It's essentially summer in a 330ml bottle! Who doesn't like strawberries and cream come a scorching July day, after all? Well me for one but that's neither here nor there - Cream haters are few and far between so I am told.. I will take the fruit though, a long with the promise of British Milk and no nasty hidden preservatives. flavourings or colours. 

Giving the Shake a shake and pouring some into a tumbler, the Shake* appeared to be up to the usual Shaken Udder consistency of being plenty thick yet still smooth, silky and easy to drink. The strawberry flavour, albeit very pleasant, didn't quite pack the strength I anticipated with not all that much in terms of sweetness or potency.. But of course, this could solely be down to the fact it was the "real deal" opposed to a cheap and most likely, artificially flavoured supermarket Strawberry Milk (Nesquik, anyone?). Creaminess wise.. It was certainly that which did pair up with the relatively mild strawberry nicely but managed to avoid being overly cloying, to produce one very tasty, indulgent, "grown up" drink. 

Overall, this Shaken Udder Strawberries & Cream offering didn't disappoint in the slightest.. Well, in fact, it's exceeded my expectations really, especially after having prepared myself to be repulsed by the cream aspect. Perhaps I am a changed woman. Perhaps I might channel my inner "Wimbledon" and go the whole "Strawberries & Cream hog" this year. Perhaps.. I just really like Shaken Udder. I think it might be the latter, don't you? Get yourself a £1.49 bottle from Waitrose and let me know what you think - It's a 4 out of 5! 

*Has Shake now lost all meaning? Shake. Shake. .....Shake. 

Review- Shaken Udder NEW Uber Udder 1 Litre: Vanillalicious! and Chocolush!

Happy Chocolate Milkshake Day! This could be no more fitting since it's all about Shaken Udder and their NEW Uber Udder 1 litre cartons on this sunny Monday! 

I was contacted by the every so lovely, Nikki who asked if I would be interested in trying the larger sized, Vanillalicious! and Chocolush! Shakes which I didn't hesitate accepting given my all round love of SU. As seen with the 330ml bottles, both flavours are made from British Milk, are free from gluten, artificial flavours, colours and preservatives along with being a source of B12 and naturally, Calcium. They are also suitable for the Veggies amongst us with a recyclable carton for the planet savers. 

Vanillalicious!

Our divinely smooth Vanillalicious milkshake is made with real vanilla beans and is utterly delectable in every way. Get your vanilla fix in a flash!

Pictures lie - There were so many more vanilla seeds in the Shake than what appears.. It was loaded! This certainly reflected in the taste with a flavour of full on vanilla along with sweet, creamy milkiness which once again, just as the 330ml version did, reminded me of a White Magnum. Texture wise, the Milkshake slipped down a treat with its silky smooth feel and just the right thickness - Nothing claggy here! A 4.5 out of 5 from me.

Chocolush!

Our sumptuously smooth Chocolush milkshake made with real Belgian chocolate, is your moment of bliss anytime of the day. 

Moving onto the Chocolush! and our main source of celebration today.. It even smelt like traditional chocolate milk! Taking a swig, the familiar sweet, hint of caramel, cocoa tones were upon me with that uncanny "ice cream" flavour which I am still sure to be that of Ben & Jerry's. The consistency was undeniably luxurious, identical to above and overall, not sickly in the slightest, making for one very very drinkable Shake! - Another 4.5 out of 5! 

Well, I can't say I am suprised.. When it comes to store bought Milkshakes, I really think it's difficult to find anything more top-notch than Shaken Udder! These NEW Uber Udder Cartons are addictively good with a quality you can't question whatsoever - It is nice to see that the standard hasn't slipped just because of the larger quantity either! Available now in Waitrose, The Co Op and independent retailers with a RRP of £2.20-£2.70 a carton, I highly recommend you go get both. If only they did Top Banana in "big" too.. Alas, off you pop - Someone pick me up a 330ml bottle, thanks!  

Review- Shaken Udder Milkshakes: Chocolush! and Vanillalicious!

Last summer I discovered Shaken Udder, the company behind the then NEW, Salted Caramel Milkshake which I immediately fell in love with. Having not delved further into their products since, I felt the time was now and purchased not 1 but 2 other flavours from Tesco - Chocolush! and Vanillalicious! 

The 330ml bottles of Milkshake which are made from fresh British milk along with other real ingredients, cost £1.30 a pop which I didn't think was to unreasonable given that they are free from gluten, artificial colours, flavours and preservatives as well as being the all important, Veggie friendly. 

Chocolush!

Chocoholics rejoice! Finally there's a rich and creamy shake made with lashings of real chocolate to satisfy those cravings at any time of the day!

I couldn't not crack into the chocolate option first.. Chocolate milk was my life when I was a kid, after all! The Shake smelt most inviting and I got glugging pronto. Smooth and silky is the only way to describe the texture with just the right thickness - Not to watery thin and certainly not claggy. Taste wise, it was remarkably and slightly bizarrely uncanny to a Choc Ben & Jerry's! The signature flavour that we all know and love from the Ice Cream was most apparent with sweet, almost caramel tones along with a pure rich chocolate hit. A lovely aftertaste lingered and thankfully, there was zero in terms of sicklyness either - A 4.5 out of 5 from me. 

Vanillalicious!

Get your vanilla fix in a flash! This divinely smooth and creamy shake is udderly delicious in every way! 

Vanilla time! - Although slightly blue looking thanks to the dodgy kitchen lighting, I do like how you can see the actual seeds! Once again, the Milkshake went down a treat with its perfect, luxurious consistency which made it only to easy to drink. "White Magnum?!" I thought when sipping away as similarly to above, it tasted almost identical to a frozen treat - Nothing but full on creamy, milky, sweet, vanilla-y melted Ice Cream! Absolutely divine - Another 4.5 out of 5 from me. 

Well, I have officially fallen deeper in love with Shaken Udder.. And I didn't think that was possible! Both the Choculush! and Vanillalicious! are superb and really quite refreshing despite being beautifully creamy - They deliver on flavour, are most certainly of a high quality and well, anything that tastes like Ice Cream is a winner in my book. Now, if only I could find the Top Banana Milkshake.. I wouldn't hesitate risking the old on-off allergy for that!  

Review- Shaken Udder NEW Salted Caramel Milkshake

I made the obligatory stop off at some Services when on the trip down to my Nanny Dearest's last week - Some Lunch and a stretch of the old legs was much needed! As I perused the sandwich section of Waitrose, I spotted this NEW Salted Caramel Milkshake by Shaken Udder for £1.29 - Far cheaper than a coffee.. If only I had drank it there and then rather than being swayed by a Costa and bringing the thing home with me, instead! 

Discover the deliciously decadent combination of sweet and salt. A fantastical milkshake that blends the smooth taste of golden caramel and the finest Maldon sea salt. Bottled bliss nom nom nom. 

My on-off allergy alarm was going 19 to the dozen upon opening the bottle - It smelt of banana!? I dubiously took a sip and thankfully, wasn't killed off there and then as it was luxurious creamy caramel all the way! It was perfectly sweetened and not overly sickly which was surprising given how thick the milkshake was - I felt it had a toffee yogurt sort of vibe to it! Was it salty, I hear you ask? Well.. I can't say, I found it to be particularly so but having said that, the drink was perfectly balanced and delicious so you can't really complain to much! 

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of Shaken Udder with this NEW Salted Caramel flavour. I found it quite refreshing for a milky drink when had ice cold, straight from the fridge. My only quibble is why it smells like bananas.. Maybe it is just me and my nervous disposition but  I feel questions need to be asked! That aside, its a 4 out of 5 from me!
