One of the first places to start off the London trend was Maxwell’s Bar & Grill. The bar has monthly shakes, so there’s always a new flavour combination to try. Previously seen on Maxwell’s Freakshakes menus: sumptuous salted caramel capped with crunchy pretzels, a towering triple chocolate with moreish pecans and beautiful brownies, and an Oreo-stuffed shake with an Oreo ice cream sandwich on top. If you want to convince yourself you’re being the teensiest bit healthy, you can turn to the banana fudge shake or the strawberry cheesecake shake that is topped with a massive meringue and fresh strawberries. Fruit means healthy no matter what it’s with, right?
