Whistling Kettle Smoothies & Shakes: Flavor Meets Health

In the ever-growing café culture across Melbourne's bayside, Whistling Kettle sets itself apart with a refreshing philosophy—delivering flavour-forward drinks that also respect your health. From the laid-back atmosphere in Hampton, the community-friendly vibe in Brighton, to the coastal calm of Black Rock, we bring more than just coffee to the table. Our smoothies and milkshakes, in particular, reflect this balance: indulgent yet wholesome, enjoyable yet thoughtfully made.

Smoothies: Naturally Nourishing, Thoughtfully Crafted

Our Smoothies are built on whole-food ingredients. These aren't just thrown-together fruit blends; they're made with intention, designed to nourish your body while delivering bold, clean flavours.

Here's a look at the key offerings:

• Tropical Sunset: A refreshing blend of pineapple, mango, passionfruit, and coconut water. This smoothie is light and hydrating, yet full of tropical sweetness. It's a go-to for hot days or when your body needs a natural pick-me-up. Coconut water adds electrolytes, while the fruits deliver vitamin C and antioxidants.

• Protein Rama: Combining banana, rolled oats, peanut butter, and oat milk, this hearty, plant-based option is ideal for breakfast or a post-workout snack. The oats and peanut butter bring protein and fibre, helping you feel full without the sugar crash. It's rich, but not heavy—like a smoothie that eats like a meal.

• Pineapple Sunset: Merging pineapple, mango, papaya, and coconut water, it's a smooth, tropical blend that goes down easy. While similar to the Tropical Sunset, this version brings in papaya, which is known for digestive enzymes and a creamy texture.

• Fruits of Forest Smoothie: A medley of mixed berries, banana, honey, and chia seeds blended with almond milk. This one leans into antioxidant power. Chia seeds provide a source of omega-3s and protein, while the mix of berries gives this smoothie its vibrant colour and tang. It's naturally sweetened with honey and balanced with the creaminess of almond milk.

What sets these smoothies apart?

They're made fresh, with ingredients you can pronounce and benefits you can feel. No artificial bases, no hidden sugars—just good, honest blends that fuel your day.

Milkshakes: Classic Comfort with Modern Choices

While smoothies aim to support health, sometimes you just want a treat, and that's where the milkshakes come in. Our milkshakes keep the nostalgia alive with traditional flavours but allow you to customise how indulgent you want to go.

Flavour Options

• Vanilla Bean

• Strawberry

• Chocolate

• Banana

• Cookies and Cream

• Blue Heaven

Each flavour is rich and satisfying, made with quality syrups and real ingredients. Blue Heaven, for instance, delivers that classic Australian retro flair, while Cookies and Cream feels like dessert in a glass.

Milk Choices

• Full Cream Milk

• Skinny Milk

• Almond Milk

• Oat Milk

• Lactose-Free Milk

This flexibility means no one misses out. Whether you're cutting dairy, watching calories, or just prefer plant-based alternatives, there's a milkshake that fits your lifestyle. And unlike many cafes, these options aren't an afterthought—they're integrated into how each drink is made.

Health Meets Habit

Our smoothie and milkshake menu shows that flavour and health don't need to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. Whether you're reaching for the protein-packed Protein Rama or indulging in a Cookies and Cream milkshake, you're met with balance—ingredients chosen for quality, not just trend.

This approach aligns with how the café does everything else: intentionally, with real ingredients, and with customers' needs at the core. It's not about being flashy—it's about being consistent, thoughtful, and accessible.

Conclusion

At Whistling Kettle, smoothies and milkshakes aren't just side items on a menu—they're a reflection of the café's philosophy: balance, simplicity, and quality. By blending health-forward choices with indulgent flavours, we cater to every kind of customer—from fitness-conscious early risers to milkshake-loving kids (and adults).
