This simple recipe captures the essence of Grimace’s favorite things in a delightful purple milkshake. While it may not be a limited edition item like the one that took social media platforms by storm, it’s a fun and easy way to join in on the TikTok trend and indulge in the taste of summertime berry flavors. Here’s how to make your own Grimace shake:

The frozen blueberries make this Grimace Birthday Blueberry Milkshake perfect for a summer treat even if there isn’t a birthday to celebrate! I’d still recommend adding the sprinkles, though. You can never have too many sprinkles!
Variations to the McDonald’s Grimace Shake Recipe
