What is a Chick-fil-A milkshake?
Even if you haven’t had the opportunity to sip on one of Chick-fil-A’s craveable milkshakes (gasp again!), it’s not terribly hard to predict what the treat will be like once you finally get one – it’s not like the chain completely reinvented drinkable desserts.
Chick-fil-A’s frozen treat hasn’t always been a staple at the chain. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that milkshakes didn’t even make their debut on the menu until the mid-2000s, which is actually pretty recent considering that Chick-fil-A’s website states that the chain’s origins date all the way back to 1946.
While Chick-fil-A may not have much variety when it comes to its protein options, the milkshakes are a completely different story. At any point in the year, a visit to one of the chain’s 2,700-plus locations will present you with at least four different flavor options: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and Cookies & Cream (via ScrapeHero ).
On top of being tasty, Chick-fil-A’s hand-spun milkshakes had another thing going for them: their relatively low cost. “Simply put, you will struggle to find a better-priced shake at any fast food restaurant, as Chick-fil-A has some of the lowest rates going,” Dessert Menus declared.
Chick-fil-A’s decision to cut down to only one size of milkshake may not have been beneficial for our wallets, though it was a bit helpful in the realm of nutrition.
A milkshake is never a bad idea. However, if we’re given the choice, we’ll be heading to Chick-fil-A for our dessert more often than some of the other popular chains.
