Karine Laudort Last week, Five Guys, the UK’s favourite burger restaurant, unveiled an exciting announcement last week – the introduction of two enticing limited-edition milkshakes! The lineup includes the exotic mango and the sweet raspberry, adding a delightful twist to their already delicious mix-ins.
My friend Lady and I went to Five Guys in Covent Garden to see what the fuss was about.
Let me tell you: We were not disappointed. Like myself, Lady decided to go all out and risk it all and opted for a raspberry, banana, peanut butter & BACON 🥓. As for me, I stayed well away 😹. I tried both new flavours (raspberry and mango) at the same time and it is now by far, my new favourite 5 Guys shake.
- The consistency: Thick but soft enough so you can easily drink it with a straw.
- The taste: Each fruit flavour is identifiable and not overpowering, aided by the vanilla ice cream used as a base
They got this recipe on lock. Then, to make things even sweeter, I added a 3rd flavour (strawberry). Honestly, it is a must-try. I highly recommend it!
With two new Mix-ins to choose from, the real question for the summer will be: Which flavour are you? You will have to try them out for yourself and pick between Team Raspberry and Team Mango. Or, you can simply mix both, like I did.
The new, limited edition Mango Shake is swirling with exotic flavours to transport you to a sun-kissed tropical paradise:
Meanwhile, the limited-edition Raspberry Shake perfectly pairs sweet Raspberry with a creamy Vanilla base for a milkshake that you’ll crave all Summer.
