Last week we were sat out in my yard in the scorching heat wondering what to do with the afternoon, so it was the perfect opportunity to wander up to Headingley and try out Shake It Milkshake Bar. The decor is adorable candy-coloured, American diner style and the menu has almost too much choice. You could stare at all the options for hours, which some of us almost did, but if you look over the back of the counter you can see all the sweets and chocolates piled up giving you a bit more of a visual aid to salivate over!
I chose a Mint Oreo Milkshake with a topping of Mint Poppets… where else can you put together such an amazing concoction?! I’m a total mint fiend. The milkshakes are made with ice cream and presented in cute pink candy stripe cups with a scoop straw. They were delicious and pretty reasonably priced too, as milkshakes go these days. The large size was just £3 and toppings were an additional 30p. If you’re on a health kick you don’t have to miss out on the fun because they do smoothies too, with fresh fruit and frozen yoghurt.
Ever since I finished the last mouthful I’ve been daydreaming about which flavour combination I’ll try next time at Shake It Milkshake Bar… maybe something a little more crazy like Black Jacks or Parma Violets. Old school, to match the fun fifties decor and I’d definitely like to sit on the diner style couch for a good giggle on a sugar high!
