Peanut Butter & Jam

from Franky's Diner, Cape Town on 9 Dec 2019

This shake contains actual peanut butter which is awesome both from a flavour and a texture perspective. This does make drinking a tad tedious when considered together with the standard-size (read: “too-small”) straw that it comes with. I found a crunchy bit in my peanut butter too (which I’m fairly certain was just an actual peanut) so that added even more to the texture.

There is most definitely jam involved (you can see it as the slightly darker spots if you look carefully at the picture) but I am not sure what type of jam it is. I couldn’t ever taste the jam directly in the milkshake which was a bit disappointing but my best guess is strawberry since it was definitely on the red end of the colour spectrum.

Maybe it’s cheating a bit to get the high rating that it has (who doesn’t love a good peanut butter & jam sandwich?) but purely in terms of “would I get it again”, this shake is well-deserving of its accolade.

Also it has the unfair advantage of being from Franky’s. So you literally just get double the amount of milkshake.
