    Fruit Loop Milkshake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This fruit loop milkshake combines your favorite cereal with ice cream to make a fruity smoothie you could pass off as breakfast food (if you argue it well enough).

    While this fruit loop drink looks like the crumbs you find at the bottom of a bag of fruit loops, you can't deny how delicious it is. This fruit loops shake is creamy, thick, and packed with your favorite cereal.

    Making milkshakes with breakfast cereal, like this fruit loops shake or my Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shake can be a fun way to use up the last bit of cereal in the bag and enjoy a tasty drink in one.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. A rainbow you can taste. We like to top our shakes with whipped cream and extra fruit loops for garnish to give us a nice rainbow color in every glass.
    2. Simple ingredients. You won't need much to make this recipe, so any necessary shopping should be minimal.
    3. It's easy. Just put some stuff in a blender and let it do its job. This recipe comes together quickly and easily and can be customized to suit your tastes.

    ingredients needed to make cereal milkshake

    🥘 Ingredients

    Fruit loops cereal- You'll need some cereal for this recipe as this is where the name, the colors, and the flavor all come from.

    Milk- Add in enough milk to get the milkshake to a good drinking consistency. This also helps to blend everything together, thanks to the added liquid in the blender.

    Ice cream- For the base of the milkshake recipe, you will want vanilla ice cream, but vanilla frozen yogurt works just as well too!

    For the exact amounts needed, please see the recipe card below.

    💭 FAQs

    Can I make fruit look milkshake with yogurt instead?

    I love to make milkshakes and smoothies with frozen yogurt instead of ice cream because it's slightly healthier. Using regular yogurt can work as well but would give you a much more smoothie-like result (a fruit loops smoothie sounds great), but it won't be as cold because there are no frozen elements in the recipe if you swap frozen ice cream for chilled yogurt.

    Can I use a different cereal?

    Yes, you can swap out the cereal in this recipe for any that you may have on hand (or any combination of cereals). This would be a great way to add more diversity to your milkshakes.

    Can I make a dairy free fruit loop milkshake?

    Fruit loop cereal is dairy free, and you can use dairy free vanilla ice cream and milk to make this recipe dairy free. Please note that fruit loop cereal contains ingredients that make it not suitable for vegans.
