Banana Split McFlurry Review 🍌

guys, you can tell by looking at my page that i’m a little treat girly and i’m always looking for the next limited edition snack to try… but mcdonalds kinda dropped the ball on this mcflurry.

🍫🍌🍦🍫🍌🍦🍫🍌🍦

i thought it was going to be so good. i love kit kats and banana splits (my favorite candy of all time AND my usual ice cream order) so i thought combining them would be perfect for me! wrong. so wrong.

its just a vanilla ice cream base, so the flavor crumble layer isn’t mixed in at all, it’s just on the top - which is typical for mcflurries so that wasn’t shocking, but stick with me here. the flavor crumbles you get are simply not enough to match the ratio of ice cream, and the mcflurry mostly just tastes like plain vanilla… which is fine if you enjoy plain vanilla but like… i wanted more flavor overall!! if only they could make the base banana, which i know they can probably do because the grimace shake had a flavored base (yeah that was a shake but still, add a flavor packet to the mcflurry idk!!). the flavor crumbles themselves are meh. artificial banana never tastes great, strawberry was barely there at all, and the kit kat was fine but didn’t mesh well with the other flavors. it was both too much and not enough, if that makes sense.

tl;dr: ice cream to crumble ratio was off and the flavor crumbles didn’t mesh well together flavor-wise. too plain and too overloaded at the same time.

i really liked the grandma mcflurry and thought it was solid, so im sad that i didn’t enjoy this new one very much. personally i dont recommend it but if you want to try it or already have, let me know your thoughts. maybe im crazy lmao who knows

rating: ⭐️⭐️/5 <—- (maybe less tbh)

McDonald's
2024/8/9 Edited to

... Read moreIt’s always a thrill when McDonald’s drops a new McFlurry, especially a limited-time one that promises big flavors like the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry. As someone who loves trying all the latest treats, I totally get the hype. The idea of a classic banana split transformed into a convenient McFlurry sounds like a dream, right? You picture that perfect blend of creamy vanilla, sweet banana, juicy strawberry, rich chocolate, and a little crunch from the Kit Kat, all swirled together. But sometimes, reality doesn't quite match the delicious vision. When we think of a traditional banana split, we're imagining layers of distinct flavors and textures. There’s the fresh banana, scoops of different ice creams, various toppings like fudge, strawberry, and pineapple, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. It's a symphony! The challenge for any fast food banana split interpretation, including McDonald's, is to capture that essence in a simpler, often blended, form. While the concept of a banana mcflurry is exciting, translating those complex elements into a handful of crumbles can be tricky. My personal experience with the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry highlighted this, as the balance felt off, and the artificial banana flavor wasn't quite hitting the mark, which can definitely leave you feeling like it “lowkey sucked!” as the image text suggests. Comparing it to other McFlurries, I often find myself going back to the classics. The Oreo McFlurry, for instance, has a consistent texture and flavor profile that’s hard to beat. The simple combination of vanilla soft serve and Oreo pieces just works. Even thinking about the Grimace ice cream or shake, which brought a unique, fruity flavor, offered a clear, singular experience. With the banana split mcflurry, it felt like it was trying to do too much without mastering any single element, resulting in a less cohesive taste than I hoped for. It really makes you appreciate when a McFlurry gets its flavor ratio just right. If you're truly craving a full-on banana split, you might find that other places, like a DQ banana split, offer a more authentic experience with fresh ingredients and multiple ice cream flavors. McDonald's is fantastic for what it is, but sometimes, for those specific cravings, a different spot might be the answer. It's all about what you're in the mood for! On another note, a question I’ve seen pop up sometimes is, “does mcflurry have alcohol in it?” It’s a valid question, especially with all the unique flavors out there. I can confirm that McDonald's McFlurries, including this Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry, do not contain alcohol. They're designed to be family-friendly treats for everyone to enjoy. Ultimately, trying new limited-edition items like the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry is part of the fun of being a food adventurer. Even if they don't always live up to expectations, sharing our experiences helps others decide if they want to give it a try. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the simple pleasures are the best!

This is a really well thought-out review. I would have also assumed there would be a ton of flavor when two types of treats were the inspiration behind this McFlurry

YUM. this mcflurry is so good. i wasn’t sure how the butterscotch would be, since it’s not usually an ice cream topping persay, but it worked so well. between the syrup and the crumbles, it was a perfectly sweet, classic flavor. it definitely made me feel like a grandma, but i enjoyed every bit
