Four fruits share the Cookout Banana Berry milkshake: banana, blueberry, strawberry and cherry. The 33.6 oz cup carries 671 calories, typically costs $3.99 and delivers 30% of the Daily Value for vitamin C, second highest on the menu. A Yelp reviewer put it on top of an all-five-star lineup. A fan scorer called its texture coarse and clumsy.
Is Banana Berry a smoothie or a milkshake?
Reviewers keep reaching for the same comparison. The Talon's students said it is closer to a smoothie than a milkshake, though still good. The Daily Meal ranked it 21st of 41 and said the berry flavors give you something to chew on but the shake is by no means smooth, with no detectable vanilla. Mashed ranked it 30th and said the banana steals the show from the berries.
What do fans and critics say?
| Source | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Yelp reviewer, Oxford, MS | All five-star shakes, Banana Berry was tops |
| The Talon (2018) | 16th of 43; closer to a smoothie, still good |
| TikTok reviewer | 8.4 out of 10 |
| The Daily Meal | 21st of 41; chewy, not smooth, no vanilla |
| Mashed | 30th; banana steals the show from the berry flavor |
| cookoutmilkshakereviews.com | 10 of 17; coarse, clumsy consistency, cherry syrup too cloying |
The fan scorer is the harshest voice and gets to the root of the split: the shake carries chopped fruit and cherry syrup, and a smooth-shake drinker will find that clumsy.
Why is the vitamin C so high?
Four fruit components stack. Banana Berry reaches 30% of the Daily Value for vitamin C, behind only Orange Push Up at 101%, and well ahead of Strawberry at 21% and Blueberry at 22%.
| Fruit shake | Vitamin C | Calories | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orange Push Up | 101% DV | 638 | 106 g |
| Banana Berry | 30% DV | 671 | 111 g |
| Fresh Watermelon | 23% DV | 645 | 84 g |
| Blueberry | 22% DV | 617 | 101 g |
| Strawberry | 21% DV | 610 | 99 g |
Sugar reaches 111 grams, 8th of 44, so the vitamin C comes with more sweetness than the single-fruit shakes. Total fat stays at 16 grams.
Does Banana Berry have a nut allergy warning?

Is the Cookout Banana Berry milkshake worth the chew?
