The Homestead fruit shop carries a menu of 20-plus batido flavors making it hard to choose the best. However, given its proximity to the Florida Keys, go for the Key lime shake ($6.50).

Make a day of your experience by visiting the property's on-site petting zoo and enjoying live music on most weekends.

Dig into the Nutella batido ($16), a hazelnut shake topped with different types of brownies, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Essentially, it's a dessert within a batido. The best way to tackle this giant is to remove the brownie and ice cream toppings onto a plate and drink the shake in conjunction with it. Another unique choice is the cocada batido, a coconut-based Venezuelan shake. No matter which you choose, given it's massive size, people often opt to share them.
