What is in a Mr Coconut shake?
An ingenious idea born in Singapore, Mr Coconut’s signature Coconut Shake is a thirst-quencher in our relentless heat. Their coconut shakes contain mainly fresh coconut pulp, coconut water, and coconut ice cream blended together with ice. This makes for a light, creamy drink that is packed with vitamins and minerals — considering how coconut is considered a superfood! The coconut shake also contains electrolytes that make it a good drink for you to replenish fluids with, especially after exercising.
Their signature drink is the Coconut Shake but Mr Coconut also has other flavour varieties on their menu including Coconut Oreo Shake and Coconut Avocado Shake.
