A Vendex North 25 Review by Ian Maguire, Planet Vending’s Roving Reporter (and Technical Director)
After a long day walking the aisles at Vendex, chatting to exhibitors and sampling snacks, I found myself in need of a proper pick-me-up. That’s when I spotted the familiar cow-print branding of Shaken Udder – and let me tell you, those milkshakes were exactly what I needed.
I tried a few of their core flavours – including Chocolish, Vanillalicious and the newer Raspberry Ripple – and each one was an absolute treat. These aren’t your average sugar-laden milkshakes – they’re silky smooth, made with real ingredients, and the flavours taste properly natural. The chocolate had that rich, cocoa depth you’d expect from something premium, while the vanilla was creamy and well-balanced without being overly sweet. Raspberry Ripple was a standout – nostalgic, fruity, and incredibly moreish. I could have quite happily worked my way through the range right then and there. (Agree 100% Ed.)
Treat Yourself (Without the Guilt)
What really impressed me about Shaken Udder is that they manage to feel indulgent without being over-the-top. The texture is luxuriously smooth, the flavour is full-on, and they’ve somehow done it all while remaining HFSS compliant – meaning they’re not classed as high in fat, salt or sugar. That’s a big win for operators looking to balance indulgence with responsibility.
They’re also made with British milk, no artificial colours or flavours, and are available in handy grab-and-go bottles, perfect for vending machines that cater to busy commuters, students or office workers in need of a midday treat.
Why You’ll Want Them in Your Machine
From a vending point of view, Shaken Udder is a brilliant choice:
- Premium branding that stands out in chilled sections
- Trusted name with growing popularity
- Indulgent but compliant – ticks both the taste and health boxes
- Strong repeat purchase potential – once they’ve tried it, they’ll be back
- Wide audience appeal – great for all ages, not just kids or gym-goers
Whether you’re looking to level up your chilled drinks offering or just want to give your machine a bit of a treat-yourself moment, Shaken Udder fits the bill perfectly.
Final Thoughts
Shaken Udder is a vending gem – smooth, flavourful and brilliantly balanced. These milkshakes offer a proper moment of indulgence that customers will love, with branding and nutritional credentials to match. If you’re curating a machine that delivers more than just the basics, this is one to stock without hesitation.
Spiral Verdict: Creamy, dreamy, and vending-machine ready. Shaken Udder shakes things up in all the right ways.
