Sonic Brings Back Its Banana Pudding Shake

Sonic Brings Back Its Banana Pudding Shake

Healthy Fact of the Day

Soft-serve based shakes with cookie crumbles and whipped topping can carry a significant amount of added sugar in one serving. To enjoy the seasonal flavor without overdoing it, consider ordering a smaller size, asking for the whipped topping on the side, or sharing the shake with someone else rather than finishing the full size solo.

Banana pudding is one of those desserts that manages to feel nostalgic no matter who's eating it, and Sonic is leaning into that appeal with a full lineup of banana-flavored drinks and treats.

Available now for a limited time, the lineup is headlined by the return of a fan-favorite shake, joined by a handful of other banana pudding-inspired options.

The Shake Making Its Comeback

The Banana Pudding Shake is back, blending banana pudding-flavored soft serve with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, then topping it off with more crumbles, whipped topping, and a maraschino cherry. It's built to replicate the texture and flavor of the classic Southern dessert in drinkable form.

More Ways to Get the Flavor

For anyone who wants the same flavor in a different format, Sonic is also offering a Banana Pudding Blast, which combines the same banana pudding soft serve and vanilla wafer crumbles without the shake's whipped topping and cherry finish.

The lineup also includes a Banana Dirty Dr Pepper, described as real banana and cream flavor infused into Dr Pepper, giving fans a non-dessert option that still fits the banana theme. Rounding things out is the Banana Pudding Cream Slush, which blends vanilla soft serve with a banana pudding-flavored slush for a lighter, icier take on the flavor.

Where and When to Get It

All four items are available now for a limited time at Sonic locations, giving fans plenty of ways to work through the banana pudding lineup before it disappears again.

The Takeaway

Whether you're after the classic shake or want to try the flavor in a soda or slush form, Sonic's banana pudding lineup gives fans several ways to get their fix this season.
