Review - Jelly Belly French Flavoured Milkshake in 'Vanilla'

Anyone that knows me will know that I absolutely adore milkshakes and when I saw this Jelly Belly French Vanilla milkshake in Tesco's on Saturday, next to the Frijj milkshakes I just had to purchase one to try!

Jelly Belly have recently launched these milkshakes into the UK and I purchased mine from Tesco's for £1.00 at an introductory offer price, instead of £1.25 which they should usually be for the 330ml cartons. The Jelly Belly milkshakes have entered a £118.9 million flavoured milk and milkshake market and I think is a really nice thing for Jelly Belly to introduce these to their range, as they already scented candles, perfumes, car accessories such as air fresheners, lollipops, headphones, speakers,  lip glosses, scented phone cases, fizzy drinks (which also taste amazing!!!!), ice cream toppings and the list continues.... You can find all these products on the Jelly Belly website (link below) which is really worth having a look at!!!

These milkshakes come in 330ml tetra pak prisma cartons which also makes a nice change change from using plastic bottles which many milkshakes come in. These tetra pak prisma cartons are completely recyclable so after you finish the drink you can flatten the carton and pop it in your recycling bin.

On the pack the milkshake it states that is "deliciously smooth vanilla flavour milkshake" which in my opinion this milkshake definitely meets all Jelly Belly's claims being delicious, very smooth and having a lovely vanilla flavour. If you like your thick Frijj-type of milkshakes then this milkshake will probably not satisfy your needs, having a quite thin consistency, as it is made from UHT (semi-skimmed milk). The milkshake has a picture of the French Vanilla Jelly Beans on the front of the carton.

At the moment Jelly Belly have released the flavours French Vanilla, Top Banana and Dark Chocolate, however I have only tried the French Vanilla flavour. There are rumours circling that flavours like Cotton Candy and Buttered Popcorn are in development which I cannot wait to try, especially Buttered Popcorn, being my favourite Jelly Bean flavour!

They are suitable for vegetarians due to the really good lack of ingredients which are used to make these milkshakes. They consist of:- semi-skimmed milk (95%), sugar, natural flavouring, stabiliser (cellulose gum, gellan gum). I was really shocked to find that these milkshakes contain no artificial sweeteners, flavours or colours which is brilliant for a milkshake and contain around 200 calories, which is still quite a lot for a drink but not as bad as Frijj milkshakes which contain around 440 calories.

I would definitely repurchase this milkshake again as it tastes so yummmm - perfect for a treat!
