During summer, a milkshake is a popular beverage for both children and adults. A cold glass of this sweet treat is incredibly delicious, with classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry being fan favourites.
Sometimes, people experiment with this iconic drink, trying to create something unique and out of the ordinary. Recently, someone made a saag milkshake, a peculiar drink that has gone viral thanks to content creator Pushpek Sidhu’s reaction to it.
The video opens with a voiceover asking, “Have you tried our brand new Saag Milkshake?” It was followed by Pushpek Sidhu’s confused and shocked reaction. The recipe involves adding a “generous scoop of luxuriously creamy” vanilla ice cream into a blender, followed by “pure, organic, hand-stirred saag”. The cook claimed the vegetable is a “secret ingredient”. Next, the two items are mixed uniformly before the drink is poured into a glass and topped with whipped cream. Later, the saag milkshake is garnished with “a fragrant sprig of coriander” for the final touch.
Unable to process the recipe, Pushpek Sidhu said, “That’s not what they meant when they said, ‘Wake up to reality. Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.” He jokingly remarked that the chef who made the vegetable milkshake should be sent straight to jail for 25 years without parole.
Pushpek Sidhu shared the video on his Instagram page, @pushpeksidhu_, with the caption, “you did not.” The video has got 1 million views and 50.2 thousand likes on the social media platform.
Unsurprisingly, users on the internet were taken aback by this unconventional milkshake. One user quipped, “This gotta be an April Fools joke, right?” Another commented, “That looks so nasty.” A third user chimed in, “After watching this I can certify the person who made this recipe needs therapy.” In contrast, a fourth user defended the drink, stating, “Kale, spinach, green leafy vegetables make the best smoothies. I would’ve added some fruit like blueberries to it. But the video is not that shocking. He’s not adding actual cooked salted saag.”
