Great combinations all round.

Its Just Nuts

A Moo Shake        ☆☆☆☆☆

Location: Moo Burgers- Bondi Beach.                        Price: $7.50

Flavour: Just Nuts

Ingredients:
- 1/2 a Snickers bar
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- chocolate syrup
- caramel syrup
- crushed nuts
- small amount of milk

Holy fuck this one is tasty!
Mooooooo Moooooo, do you like the taste of cows? Luckily this is just a milkshake and there's no meat. Go down to moo burgers and get yourself a milkshake right now! You wont regret it!
If you sit somewhere and close your eyes and enjoy every thought and taste of this milkshake, you will blow in your pants. Imagine you are on a dairy farm and a beautiful cow approaches you in the afternoon and sits by you. You stare into the cows eyes and instantly you feel that connection. Without doing anything the cow moves your mind. It describes a sense of happiness and peace that is unspoken. The chocolatey caramel colours, in his eyes, melt through your brain and demonstrate the most simple expression that is unexplained. He could crush you in one movement but there he idles without a breath, snickering with the smallest hint of a smile. It's amazing how silent this moment feels. How valuable the space between words and movements becomes. To feel a connection without the cow implementing the slightest of distractions. Smooth but rough, thick but thin. You no longer seek for the cows instruction, yet you embellish the taste of his silence. It's exciting. It tastes good. It's Just Nuts.

Coke on my Nut.

The Coconut Martini


ingredients
-coconut (1/4 to 1/2 a cup)
-tablespoon of honey
-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
-1/4 of Oats
-500mls of full cream milk.

serves two.

This is a very refreshing shake. The coconut flavour is very light and not too creamy. 
If you find it hard to drink milkshakes when you wake up, then this may be the one for you.
Its not too sweet, its sharp and it tastes like a healthy start to the day. 

You may have to blend this one twice, as coconut and oat chunks can slow down the drinking time. Over all it is definitely a great shake to try and i recommend you experiment with your honey measurements, to add an enhanced sweetness.

The House Of Chocolates

The House of Chocolates      ☆☆☆                      

Flavour: Chocolate Malt shake.                                           Price: $5.90

Ingredients:
- chocolate syrup
- 1 tsp of malt extract
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- full cream milk

Froth froth froth froth...I don't even know if there is any milk in this one, it's that frothy. It's super tasty, highlighted with some top class chocolate syrup, but there's just too much froth.

Imagine a new mother who has just had a baby in the last 6 months. She goes for a 5 kilometre run, then decides to breast feed her child. Well, this one is as frothy as a Double D milkshake mum bouncing down the streets of Bondi!

If you're a frother, like the girl in the bakery downstairs, then this won't be a problem. Grab the paper cup and slurp it all down. It does taste good, just don't leave a puddle of excitement behind or the froth monster will get you.

Worth a taste.

Bee's Bananarama

A Home-made Bananarama.

"...Karma is when you throw a banana in Mario kart, 
and then you end up slipping on it..." - Unknown kook

Ingredients:
- 1 jumbo frozen banana
- 1 tsp of honey
- 2 tablespoons almond meal
- dash of cinnamon
- full cream milk- (500 mls)
Blend, sip, enjoy. 

Once upon a time, a tiny little bee, from a tiny little hive, flew away from his home to embark on an adventure in the outside world. On this fine day, the little, harmless bee found himself on a biiiiig banana leaf, with all the tastiest bananas around. The little bee, being so excited to have found a banana leaf, planted some of his best honey that he had saved up underneath his wing on the leaf for a spectacular lunch.
Unfortunately this moment was not going to be as perfect as the bee had wanted. All of a sudden the sky went dark and it started to rain full cream milk. "Ohhh nooo" said the little bee, his sacred honey was dribbling down the leaf and falling into the abyss below. Bananas were falling, almonds were hailing from the sky and it was all very sad.
The little bee being so scared, flapped his little wings as fast as he could to escape out of the rain and into a little cave. The bee was now very upset as his lunch had been ruined by the full cream milk and almond hail storm.
Just when the bee was about to give up on his day, he heard a sound coming from deep inside the cave.
"Hello little one…helloooo?" croaked an unknown source in the distance.
"WHO'S THERE??" said the little bee.
All of a sudden out of the darkness came a big dark shadow. The bee's little legs trembled with fear. The dark shadow came closer and closer. "My name is cinnamon!" said the dark shadow. "I am here to provide a twist to your day and add some extravagant flavour to your life!
And with that, the dark shadow blew a huge gust of wind and flicked the bee out of the cave and into the world again, to where he had first started.
The bee now found himself staring at rainbows and mist, where the rain and hail had once been ravaging the land. It was beautiful. Almonds were ground, the milky sky had settled, cinnamon's flavours were everywhere. Bananas littered the ground and the little bee's honey was soaking in the sun, in a puddle on the leaf below.
"BANANARAMA!!!!" shouted the little bee, as he flew over to the leaf and slurped away on one of the finest creations that any little bee has ever known.

The Benfield

  A Home Made Peanut Butter shake.
The "Benfield"

Ingredients: 
-Vanilla Ice cream (2 tbsp)
-Crunchy Peanut Butter (4-6 tsp)
-Banana (1/2)
-Oats (1/4 cup)
-Ice (1cup) 
-Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
- Honey (1 tbsp)
-full cream milk (500mls)

Blend...

If you enjoy Peanut Butter, then this is your shake. It’s a delicious masterpiece. Inspired by other peanut shakers, the addition of ice and vanilla extract definitely adds an extra sweetness to the shake, along with an icy cold, feeling of freshness.
A strong peanut butter flavour bursts onto your taste buds. It is the predominant flavour, but it doesn’t overshadow its tasty friends.
Be careful not to make it too thick, the oats can be a killer if your not concentrating.

This is definitely a shake that you should create in any surroundings. Great for a morning boost, but also perfect for a late night slurp.

Enjoy.

The Eric Bana-nah

The Eric Bana-nah

Ingredients:
- Chocolate soy milk (sanitarium so good, chocolate bliss) 600ml
- 1 whole Banana
- Rainbow Paddle pop
- coconut (1/4 cup)
A very simple and easy blend, but unique with its flavours. The healthy taste of the soy milk, adds a delicious essence to the blend. A caramel twist through the rainbow paddle pop really compliments the banana flavours and accentuates the thickness. The caramel and banana combination is definitely one to remember. I would imagine that a banana dipped in caramel would also be tasty on its own. Add all of these delights together and it brings out a fruity chocolate mix, which will only leave you wanting more. Add a touch of coconut at the end for that little bit extra!

A North Narrabeen Choc Shake

                                                                                 

THE NORTH NARRABEEN MILKSHAKE   ☆☆                                 Flavour -  Chocolate.

The Lifesaver Cafe                                                                                         Price - $6.00

Ingredients
- Chocolate syrup (standard from any Coles or woolies)
- Vanilla icecream
- Full cream Milk

Its as basic as it gets. A very standard and simple creation for the every day cafe'.
Put some chocolate syrup, ice cream and milk in a blender and you have your result.
Unfortunately, this is the standard for most places around Sydney. Being the most cost effective it provides a C class milkshake that will please a majority of the consumers, but wont be turning any heads.
The texture of the Narrabeen shake is a little too thin, in my opinion. Too much milk, not enough ice cream. The chocolate consistency is not too bad, overall making it (2/5) in my opinion.


The complexity of minor variations, that persist in this modern milkshake world, is always difficult for the creator..
