Advantages: Cheap, Easy

Disadvantages: Not Great Tasting

While I'm on a roll with milkshakes, I thought I might as well cover all the bases. Crusha Milkshake, Strawberry flavour, is another that I've tried. We had it in the house for the grandson, and I gave it a go myself one day. It's quite cost effective at £1.59 for a 500ml bottle, as you only need to add a small bit of this to regular milk to achieve your milkshake. Also, note that Tesco have this on special offer for 80p at the moment if you're looking to try some.

My first impressions of this stuff were good, as I thought it was an ingenious idea. I thought it would be much nicer to have a home made milkshake made up using a liquid rather than a powder, as it would mean that it was a smooth drink without the lumps that you get from using a powder milkshake mix.

On tasting it I wasn't as impressed though. The trouble with using a thin liquid to add to milk to create a milkshake, is that it doesn't actually make a milkshake. It makes a very thin flavoured milk drink, which I wasn't so keen on. I thought this was a bit too thin to really taste like the ready made flavoured milks do.

I also thought that there was a real artificial sweetness to the strawberry flavour that left me with an unusual after taste. The grandson seems to like this a lot though, so maybe it's just not one for those of us who are used to drinking shop-bought flavoured milks? I wouldn't buy it again for me, but I'd recommend it for kids anyway.
