Barebells has added a new flavour to its milkshake range with the launch of a cookies and cream variety.

The drink contains 24g of protein and no added sugar, and follows the flavour profile of the brand’s popular cookies and cream protein bar, first introduced in 2016. The new product joins existing milkshake flavours including chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.

Joe Enright, marketing activation manager for Barebells, said: “This really is a dream come true. This milkshake truly hits the spot when it comes to both new and nostalgic cravings."

“Ever since we launched our cookies and cream protein bar, we’ve wanted to create this milkshake: as a throwback to the times when we were having freshly baked cookies with a glass of milk as kids. Now it’s finally time," Enright added.

“The result is a familiar and decadent flavour, perfect as a snack on the go, or as a treat at any time of the day. This is a shake for any occasion."

The cookies and cream milkshake is available to purchase online via the brand's website and will be rolled out in stores across the UK in the coming weeks.
