Sblended

These days, a lot of the American food trends have crossed the Atlantic — froyo, bubble tea, burritos, shaved ice to name a few.
I’ve always been partial to a good American milkshake but had to indulge this craving on my American holidays. However, there has been a recent proliferation of milkshake bars in London. I like Shake a Hula but they’re just based at airports
Sblended is a chain of milkshake bars with outlets across the UK. Their Soho branch has been open a few months but when I’m in Soho, I tend to be quite full following a meal or about to eat a meal and can’t quite bring myself to have the additional calories found in a good milkshake
However, I finally had a milkshake here yesterday. The choice is rather bewildering when you first walk in. Seriously, they will blend virtually any type of confectionery, fruits, buscuits, sweets, cakes or even ice lollies you may care to name. Your concoction can then be further customised with sauces and ‘tops and bottoms’ like popping candy, nuts and mini marshmallows
Fortunately, if your brain can’t process all this choice, they have recommended blends. My Oreo cookie shake was a happily reminiscent of the ones I’ve enjoyed on my American trips
