Creamy Shakes
A brand new beverage for a brand new month! Aside from the scorching summer heat, that must be what Jollibee had in mind when they decided to introduce the Jollibee Creamy Shakes today – May 1.
It was good timing as well since May 1 is a holiday in the Philippines. For sure most families would be on the road or in the malls right about now having a good time….and perhaps sharing a meal or two in a Jollibee store. 🙂
Jollibee Creamy Shakes
So what are these “creamy shakes“? They come in a fresh-looking blue paper cup, a contrast from the usual red and white Jollibee theme. The first variant is made with chocolate goodness and topped with a rich Hershey’s Chocolate syrup. If you have the sweet tooth and loves chocolates, this is for you.
Chocolate Creamy Shake
It’s also available in strawberry flavor which is a mix of vanilla soft-serve with strawberry syrup. I prefer the strawberry more over the chocolate as per taste.
Strawberry Creamy Shake
I tried mixing the two and the result was awesome. I loved it even more! My Chocoberry Creamy Shake! 😛 Both flavors are priced at P39 per serving but you can save some more if you pair it with some of Jollibee’s regular combo meals.

Jollibee Combo Meals
You can add the creamy shakes with you favorite Jollibee combo meal such as the following :
- Regular Yum + Regular Crispy Fries + Jollibee Creamy Shake = Php 89
- Regular Yum with Cheese + Regular Jolly Crispy Fries + Creamy Shake = Php 99
- Jolly Hotdog Classic + Regular Fries + Jollibee Creamy Shake = Php 99
Jollibee Creamy Shake
I really love their recent dessert offering called Jollibee Kit Kat Mix-Ins which I have been ordering quite frequently the past few weeks. The creamy shake is a good alternative, however it’s categorically a beverage and not a dessert and it doesn’t have crushed ice with it as much as I have hoped.
So check out the Jollibee branch nearest you and try their creamy treat with the all new Jollibee Creamy Shakes! Both chocolate and strawberry flavors are now available in all Jollibee branches nationwide until June 30, 2014.
