Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake
Dave's Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake — a hand-spun shake blended and piled high with crunchy Fruity Pebbles cereal, whipped cream, and a colorful cereal crown. Fruity, nostalgic, and crunchy on real ice cream, with the dairy fat that cools Nashville heat.
About the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake
The Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake brings cereal-bowl nostalgia to the Dave's shake lineup — a hand-spun ice cream shake blended with and crowned by a colorful pile of crunchy Fruity Pebbles cereal, whipped cream, and a cereal garnish. The fruity cereal flavor and crunch make this the most playful, vibrant shake on the menu.
At $6.99 it matches the other top-loaded shakes, with the loaded cereal toppings earning the upgrade over the $5.49 classics. It's the most caloric shake on the menu at 800 calories — the cereal and its sugar push it past the other loaded options — but it's also the most fun to eat, with that signature sweet, fruity, milk-soaked cereal taste. Like every dairy shake at Dave's, it cools spice too: the dairy fat binds to capsaicin and washes the burn off your taste buds far more effectively than water or soda. Vanilla is the ideal base here, letting the fruity cereal flavor shine.
What's Inside the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake
Hand-Spun Ice Cream Base
Your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream blended with milk into a thick base — vanilla best showcases the cereal flavor, and the dairy fat neutralizes capsaicin.
Blended Fruity Pebbles
Crunchy Fruity Pebbles cereal is spun into the shake, infusing it with sweet, fruity, milk-soaked-cereal flavor and bursts of color throughout.
Fruity Pebbles Topping
A generous, colorful pile of Fruity Pebbles top-loaded onto the shake delivers the crunchy texture and the rainbow cereal-crown presentation.
Whipped Cream & Cereal Garnish
Finished with a swirl of whipped cream and a scatter of cereal on top for a bright, nostalgic, photo-ready dessert presentation.

How to Customize
Choose Your Size
Order the standard size, or ask whether a smaller or larger pour is available at your location. Hand-spun and top-loaded to order.
Choose Your Base Flavor

Extra Fruity Pebbles
Ask for an extra-heavy load of cereal on top, or more blended in, for maximum crunch and that signature milk-soaked-cereal sweetness.
Extra Whipped Cream
Request an extra swirl of whipped cream for a taller, more indulgent finish beneath the colorful cereal crown.

Loaded ComboFrequently Asked Questions
How much does the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake cost?
The Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake costs $6.99 at most Dave's Hot Chicken locations — $1.50 more than the classic shakes ($5.49). The premium covers the blended cereal and the loaded toppings on top. Prices may vary by location and are higher on third-party delivery apps.
How many calories are in the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake?
About 800 calories per serving — the most of any shake on the Dave's menu, because the sugary cereal adds to the real-ice-cream base. Expect roughly 30g of fat and 104g of sugar per shake. The exact count varies slightly with your chosen base flavor.
Can I choose the base flavor for the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake?
Yes — you choose chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry as the ice cream base. Vanilla is recommended because it lets the fruity cereal flavor come through most clearly, but strawberry makes a fruity-on-fruity combo and chocolate adds contrast. The cereal is blended and loaded on top of whichever base you pick.
Does the Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake contain dairy or gluten?
It contains dairy — real ice cream, milk, and whipped cream — so it is not vegan, though it is vegetarian-friendly. Fruity Pebbles cereal is made from rice and is generally gluten-free, but the shake is prepared in a kitchen that handles other ingredients, so anyone with a milk allergy or celiac disease should confirm cross-contact risks with staff before ordering.
Does it still cool down spicy food with all the cereal on top?
Yes — the dairy fat in the ice cream base is what neutralizes capsaicin, and the cereal doesn't change that. Capsaicin is fat-soluble, so the shake binds to it and clears the burn from your taste buds far better than water or soda. The Fruity Pebbles Top-Loaded Shake cools a Hot or Extra Hot order just as effectively as the classic shakes.
