7 Brew Shakes 2026

The proprietary liquid dairy base contains milk, heavy cream, sugar, natural vanilla flavoring, and stabilizers/emulsifiers (like guar gum and carrageenan) for smooth texture. It is essentially a sweetened, vanilla-forward soft-serve batter that is kept liquid and cold until blended to order. It is not frozen before blending.

Because the calorie content comes primarily from the ice cream mix base and crushed ice — which is identical across all flavors. The flavor syrups (vanilla, banana, peach) add minimal calories (10–30 cal per pump). Chocolate and caramel sauces add slightly more but the nutritional label uses the base as standard. Actual calorie differences between flavors are 10–40 cal.

No — the ice cream mix contains milk and cream with significant lactose content. If you are lactose-intolerant, swap the ice cream mix for oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. The texture will be lighter but the flavor syrups still deliver great taste. Take a lactase enzyme supplement (Lactaid) before drinking if you want to keep the ice cream mix.

All shakes have identical protein: Kids 5g, Small 7g, Medium 11g, Large 15g — all from the dairy ice cream mix. No shake flavor adds meaningful protein. To boost protein, bring a protein shake (Fairlife Core Power or Premier Protein) and ask the brewista to blend it in, or order a larger size for more dairy protein.

Kids Vanilla Shake with sugar-free vanilla syrup — approximately 150–170 cal. Skip the whipped cream and drizzle. For an even lighter option, swap the ice cream mix for unsweetened almond milk — roughly 80–100 cal. At that point, it is more of a blended icy drink than a true shake, but still tastes decent.

Yes — ask for "heavy blend" or "extra ice cream mix" for a thicker, spoonable consistency. Ask for "extra ice" or "light blend" for a thinner, more drinkable texture. The standard thickness is designed to be sippable through a wide straw. Most customers prefer standard, but thickness customization is free.

Yes — shakes are 0mg caffeine and contain no alcohol. The main concerns for kids are: (1) Sugar — a Kids shake has 28g sugar, which exceeds the AHA's recommended 25g daily limit for children. (2) Dairy — children with milk allergies should avoid shakes entirely. (3) Choking hazard — shake thickness is generally safe but supervise young children drinking through straws.

There is no official limit, but most brewistas will add up to 4 shots. Each shot adds 63–75mg caffeine. A quad-shot Dirty Shake has 250–300mg caffeine — equivalent to a large coffee. Most people find 2 shots (120–150mg) to be the sweet spot for flavor balance — the espresso adds bitterness without overpowering the shake sweetness.
