The blend-it-yourself milkshake debuts as the first-ever Golden OREO-licensed frozen beverage, combining f’real’s most-requested flavor comeback with the iconic taste of Golden OREO cookies.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — August 24, 2026 — The wait is over. f’real, the makers of on-the-go, blend-it-yourself (BIY) milkshakes and smoothies, partners with the OREO brand to debut a new treat: the Golden OREO Birthday Cake Milkshake. Available for a limited time beginning today at retail locations nationwide, as part of a licensing relationship with Mondelez International, the new shake brings back f’real’s most-requested flavor, Birthday Cake, blended for the first time with real Golden OREO Cookie crumbles and rainbow sprinkles.

Have your cake and drink it too. The Golden OREO Birthday Cake Milkshake is a match made in milkshake heaven. Made with real milk, the shake blends together the golden crunch and vanilla-forward flavor of Golden OREO Cookies with rich, festive cake batter that evokes memories of eating batter straight from the bowl, finished with rainbow sprinkles that offer a colorful surprise in every sip. It’s the perfect balance of sweet creaminess and celebratory crunchiness: familiar enough to feel nostalgic, exciting enough to feel brand new.

The combination has been a long time coming. Birthday Cake has been f’real’s most-requested flavor on social since its 2023 limited run, and OREO Cookies & Cream has held its spot as the brand’s No. 1 selling milkshake for years—a true fan favorite that keeps consumers coming back for more. With Golden OREO driving $243.5 million in annual retail sales¹ and 99% brand recognition nationwide, this is the kind of highly anticipated, limited-time release that f’real fans have been waiting for.

For Golden OREO cookie fans, f’real’s blend-it-yourself format introduces a completely new way to enjoy the iconic cookie, in a customizable, on-the-go frozen milkshake for the very first time. For f’real fans, it’s the return of two flavors they’ve been asking for, blended their way, in just minutes. Just pick a cup from the freezer, peel off the lid, and place it in the blender to enjoy a custom milkshake. With three thickness options, every shake is made exactly to order and can be personalized at the touch of a button.

“Birthday Cake is the flavor our fans have been asking for since the day it left shelves, and our OREO Cookies & Cream has been a consistent top seller for a reason—our consumers are obsessed with OREO cookie in milkshake form,” said Rich Products Vice President of Customer & Consumer Brand Marketing Megan Grinstead. “Golden OREO cookies in a milkshake is brand new to f’real and OREO fans alike. When we decided to bring back Birthday Cake as a limited-edition flavor, incorporating Golden OREO cookies felt like the perfect way to make it even more special. It’s a celebration-worthy flavor combination that delivers something new and exciting in every sip, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

Beginning today, the Golden OREO Birthday Cake Milkshake is available for a limited time at more than 17,000 retail locations nationwide, from convenience stores to college campuses and entertainment venues, including Maverik, Kwik Trip, Sheetz, Circle K, Yesway, RaceTrac, Weigel's, Royal Farms and more. The suggested retail price for each 12-ounce milkshake is $3.99.

To discover the new flavor, explore f’real’s full lineup of customizable shakes, smoothies and freezes, or find a blender near you, visit freal.com or follow @therealfreal on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.
