A fan reviewer called the Cookout Blueberry milkshake the best fruit shake they tried, and a TikTok reviewer called it a very good shake. The Daily Meal says it tastes like blueberry pie à la mode. Mashed ranked it 31st. The 32.9 oz cup has 617 calories, typically costs $3.99 and delivers 22% of the Daily Value for vitamin C.
Why do some reviewers say it is the best fruit shake?
Because the flavor is full and never tart. The fan scorer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com called it the best fruit shake they tried and noted the flavor is never tart despite the frozen blueberries. The Daily Meal credits blueberry pieces and jam-like ribbons for a lilac color and a full berry flavor, and compares it to blueberry pie à la mode.
Why does Mashed rank it near the bottom?
Because it is not fresh blueberries. Mashed's reviewer said the flavor will not pack the same punch as real, fresh berries. It is the one critic who judged the shake against the fruit and not against other shakes.

Do not confuse it with Blueberry Cheesecake, which Viking Fusion listed among the three worst shakes. A Tripadvisor reviewer in Radford, Virginia titled a review for that shake "No cheesecake in the blueberry cheesecake milkshake." The plain Blueberry shake draws far better reviews.
