    Fruit shakes are some of the favorite drinks during hot weather. Some of my favorite fruit shakes are the following:
    • Strawberry shakes
    • Melon shakes
    • Avocado shakes

    They're very refreshing especially melon shakes. What flavors do you love the most when it comes to fruit shakes?

    I really love the a good strawberry banana smoothie, if that can be considered the same thing. The one thing I don't add is the milk to make it a shake. If I was to choose a shake it would be just strawberry.

    Slowly spring is coming to this side of the hemisphere and fruit shakes become a faithful companions today. I like to innovate with the combinations of fruits and enhance the contrast of flavors on the palate. The melon smoothie is among one of my favorites, but the combination of strawberries and peaches also very interesting. The red fruits are also very tasty ... I think this opened my appetite. :p

    My favorite fruit shake is the strawberry banana I love the taste and it's the perfect drink for a hot summer day. I also like strawberry kiwi I usually like fruit shakes with more than one fruit flavor.

    My favorite shake flavors would be mango, banana, and pineapple. Everytime I go to the mall, I always buy one when I see them being sold.

    I'm not one for fruit shakes, it's not something I would usually drink. I would make a shake using coconut milk or whipped cream with milk. My favourite flavour would probably be strawberry but it needs to be very thick and I think I would struggle to make a shake that is satisfyingly thick, it's not a shake if it's not thick!

    Frozen bananas. Or freeze whatever else you might put in it.. very thick unless you add liquid, so you can actually customize how thick you make it. frozen bananas will be as thick as ice cream until you thin it out. Sometimes I just leave whatever I throw in there as icecream.. I never buy the stuff anymore.

    Back to the question though. I like banana and pineapple. All of my smoothies get greens added (fruits cover them up well), sometimes coconut or almond milk (not from a grocery store, they're full of sugar etc) or just water, chia seeds, coconut oil.. love it.

    Going to be a little cliché, but pure strawberry shakes are so delicious. Also, if you don't want to just use strawberries, you can also use some berries to spice things up and it's really delicious.

    Melon and mango for me. I prefer mango the most, and I hardly ever eat melon that's not in shake form, so it's a good way to get some fruit nutrients into my system. I like to put lots of other fattening ingredients in them though so it's hardly healthy by the end of the preparation process. :D

    I love shakes that contain caramel and raspberries. This is just one of one combinations that is heaven to me.
    I love how sweet yet a little sour everything turns out and my taste buds just go crazy.
    Caramel in general is something you can add to any milkshake or smoothie and be pleased with.
