Banana Pudding Milkshakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Krystal's New Banana Pudd’n Shake is a Twist on a Classic Dessert

— June 1, 2020 — Lifestyle
This summer, Krystal is paying homage to its Southern roots with the debut of its new Banana Pudd’n Shake. Made with creamy soft serve and real cookie pieces, the drink is the perfect summer sipper.

For those unfamiliar, banana pudding is a sweet Southern dessert made from vanilla custard, freshly sliced bananas, and wafer cookies. Krystal's new Banana Pudd’n Shake takes the flavors of this dessert and turns them into a sippable shake. The shake itself is made from soft serve ice cream blended with banana-flavored syrup, with bits of Nilla Wafer cookies mixed in.

The sweet and creamy new Banana Pudd’n Shake is currently available from participating Krystal locations for just a limited time.
