Dirty Filthy Monkee? Don’t mind if I do!
Actually… maybe the Hazelnut Monkee.
Oh wait – how did I miss the coffee shakes?
But then there’s Cinnamon Toast.
Hold on… what about the Maui Colada?
Usually when I walk into a shake shop for the first time, choosing is pretty easy. Chocolate? Peanut butter? Something fruity?
But not at Fresh Monkee. Every single shake was calling my name. With so many creative combinations on the menu, narrowing it down was honestly the hardest thing for me! Checking ingredients didn’t help much either, because all of their shakes are made with high‑quality, natural ingredients, including fresh fruits and veggies, and none of them felt like they’d derail a New Year’s reset.
Between the three of us in my crew, we ordered the Dirty Filthy Monkee, Hazelnut Monkee (my pick!), and Mint Cookie. And wow. Every single one was a win. We were all very pleased with our choices!
A Different Kind of Shake
Fresh Monkee isn’t about flashy diet promises or gimmicks. Instead, the focus is on what actually works: protein‑first recipes, balanced macros, and real nutrition.
Each hand‑crafted shake is thoughtfully designed to include:
- Quality protein
- Smart carbohydrates
- Healthy fats
- Easy digestibility
- Clean, simple ingredients
With more than 30 shake recipes on the menu, there’s truly something for every taste and lifestyle, whether you’re looking for something indulgent‑tasting, green and veggie‑forward, or even coffee‑based.
Don’t Skip the Monkee Ballz
In addition to shakes, Fresh Monkee offers Monkee Ballz, a protein‑packed snack that’s perfect for sustained energy. They’re made with natural peanut butter, oat flour, chocolate whey protein, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and rolled in semi‑sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
They’re great as a grab‑and‑go snack, a post‑workout bite, or something to pair with your shake.
Local Owners, Local Roots
What I loved most about our visit was meeting the owners, Mitch and Crispin Provost. They're truly some of the nicest people you’ll meet!
The Provosts are longtime residents of The Woodlands and have called the community home for 30 years, raising their three sons here while staying involved in youth sports and local schools. Mitch is a retired engineer and project manager, and Crispin is a registered nurse who now works with Conroe ISD.
“We’ve made a lifetime of friends and watched The Woodlands grow into the amazing community it is today,” the couple shared. “We’re excited to bring a healthy alternative to fast food and sugary snacks—something we believe will be a great fit for families and active lifestyles in the area.”
A Great Stop for Families (and Study Breaks)
Beyond the menu, the space itself feels warm and welcoming. There’s a sitting area in front, a wall lined with tables for two, and a cozy table in the back that seats about 6–8 people, making it a great spot to hang out, study, or meet friends.
Fresh Monkee is also super conveniently located on Grogan’s Mill, near Sawdust Road and I‑45. If you’re heading to the Brady Library or running errands nearby, it’s an easy (and delicious) stop.
Fresh Monkee shakes can work as a quick snack between meals or a full meal replacement, making them a great fit for busy families, students, and anyone on the go.
