Serving:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Servings: 1 shake
Variations:
- Fruit Swaps: You can use other frozen fruits like blackberries or strawberries to change up the flavor.
- Vegan Option: Substitute dairy ice cream and milk with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut ice cream for a vegan version.
- Extra Sweetness: Add a drizzle of honey or a scoop of vanilla protein powder for added sweetness.
Storage:
- Refrigeration: While best enjoyed immediately, the shake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or blend before drinking again.
- Freezing: You can freeze the shake for up to a week and blend again before serving.
FAQs:
Q: Can I make this without food coloring?
A: Yes! The purple food coloring is optional. The berries will already give the shake a natural purple hue.
Q: Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
A: Yes, fresh fruit works just as well, but using frozen helps create a thicker shake without needing additional ice.

This fun and flavorful Grimace Shake brings a touch of nostalgia with its rich, fruity flavors and smooth texture. Whether you enjoy it plain or with all the fun toppings, it’s the perfect treat to brighten up your day!
