It’s time to put down the red, white, and blue slush because Sonic has a new shake flavor that is inspired by one truly delicious and traditional American dessert. According to Chew Boom, the chain has added a new Banana Pudding Shake to the menu. The website describes it as “the brand’s real ice cream blended with fresh banana and Nilla wafers … finished with a whipped topping, crumbled Nilla wafers, and a cherry.” FastFoodPost.com states that the offering will be available from August 2 through August 29, 2021, so you’ll want to hurry to get yours while it lasts!

In a recent YouTube review by RodrickEats, the food blogger describes the Banana Pudding Shake as the chain’s classic (and popular) banana shake with some Nilla wafers mixed in for a taste of the classic Southern dessert. And while this review says that the shake tastes good, he also adds it doesn’t necessarily taste like real banana pudding (more just like the regular banana shake with some cookies added in). He also did offer a word of caution about getting the pieces of Nilla wafers through the straw — drink it slow! Although this limited-time shake will have many people excited, it appears that a similar offering was on the menu back in 2008 (according to Fast Food News) so it’s not totally new. If you can’t get enough of the Banana Pudding Shake after it leaves the menu, though, you can always buy Sonic’s classic banana shake and add your own Nilla wafers to the mix.
