You’ll need to leave any calorie counting, diets, or sugary inhibitions at the door before indulging one of the concoctions at today’s dessert stop. Vargas Fruteria is technically a juice bar and ice cream shop but these small labels don’t even begin to cover what crazy creations are offered. Let’s drool over just one of the specialties of the shop – the Freakshake.
Vargas Fruteria is not your typical juice bar.

Whether it’s sweet or savory, all of the menu items at Vargas Fruteria are extraordinarily indulgent.
Vargas Fruteria - Springdale The fried ice cream rolls, Hot Cheetos elote, ice cream tacos, and insanely loaded super nachos make any fair food look like plain potatoes in comparison. Really anything off the menu could have it’s own featured article but today we’re just focused on one of the desserts.
One of the Vargas Fruteria specialties is the Freakshake.
Courtesy of Author These are not your typical ice cream in a cup that you would get from a chain restaurant. Freakshakes come in two tiers with tons of flavor options. The standard comes in decadent single flavors like strawberry, caramel, chocolate, mango, etc. The Super Freakshakes (like this one pictured) are ridiculously indulgent. The Nutella Super Freakshake has a creamy chocolate shake, Cocoa Puff and mini marshmallow-covered rim, full sized chocolate donut, graham cracker, Nutella ice cream with cone, and a slathering of whipped cream.
The long list of ingredients are a challenge to tackle for even the most experienced ice cream connoisseurs.
Courtesy of Author We highly recommend having a spoon, plate for fallen debris (in this case Fruity Pebbles), and tons of napkins. Wet wipes are stocked on each table and for good reason!
The Super Freakshakes must be concocted from the imagination of a sugar-crazed child because how else would these mix of goodies come to be?
Facebook/Vargas Fruteria - Springdale The Fairy Shake (pictured), S’mores, Cheesecake, Ferrero Rocher, and Ultimate Golden Unicorn are just some of the Super Freakshake flavors. Every one is deliciously absurd and completely irresistible.
These everything-but-the-kitchen-sink shakes are about $8 and worth every penny (and calorie).
