Milkshake is a milk drink that can be made with countless flavors. Whether you prefer fruity, chocolate, mint, or any other flavor, we are sure you will find the perfect taste. A lot of people drink it on a hot summer day because it is refreshing, but its popularity does not decline even in winter. For some, it’s a delicious dessert, and for others, it even changes the meal. Teenagers especially love it, and mothers are happy to offer it to their children, bearing in mind that the main ingredient is milk. In this way, the children brought something healthy into the body, and yet the desire for something sweet. Fast food restaurants around the world offer a large selection of milkshakes of different tastes and sizes.
That brings us to the list of the best, at least for us.
1. McDonald’s
No person in the world has never heard of McDonald’s or tried something from their menu. Whether it is a burger, ice cream or a milkshake, children, and adults are very happy to visit it over and over again. Whichever you choose, vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry flavor, you won’t go wrong. But, on hot summer days, our recommendation is Shamrock Shake. This is a seasonal shake, so it is better to take advantage of these virtuous days by enjoying this amazing flavor. Vanilla in combination with refreshing mint will win you over at the first sip and in your mind take you to the beach where you will be able to hear only the sound of the waves.
2. Burger King
Burger King is another company known for its products and it is simply impossible to single out the best. But, when we talk about milkshakes, Oreo is irreplaceable.
3. Shake Shack
Shake Shack has amazing flavors. These shakes are a little more expensive but still worth paying a dollar more. Like any other fast food restaurant, this one offers standard as well as seasonal ones. For the slightly braver, they also have Peanut Butter, Black and White, and Salted Caramel. They have a thick consistency and it is also possible to buy it in several sizes.
4. Wendy’s
If you don’t like to experiment with flavors and stick to good old vanilla or chocolate, you won’t go wrong with Wendy’s. Enjoy classic milkshake at an affordable price.
5. Five Guys
Now we come to companies that have gone a step further than others with their offer. The one we will mention today is Five Guys. In addition to the classic ones, they also offer some more unusual flavors in a sweet-salty combination. So, if you are brave enough, go ahead and try bacon-flavored milkshakes. Although it may not sound tempting, we believe you will be pleasantly surprised! Usually, a combination of sweet and salty softens the sweetness, at the same time complementing the taste.
6. Dairy Queen
Dairy Queen is recognizable by adding biscuits to almost all sweet products. When it comes to milkshakes, the Oreo Royal shake is unsurpassed. This is the beverage that includes soft serve ice cream.
7. Cold Stone Creamery
Cold Stone Creamery offers Savory Strawberry, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream, and many others, but our No 1 is Cake’n’Shake. With its taste reminiscent of the best birthday cake, this shake will satisfy your daily calorie intake in your body. Therefore, if you are on a diet, you better avoid it.
8. Chick-fil-a
Chick-fil-a milkshakes have an amazing taste! If you like the soft, fruity taste, Peach Milkshake is the perfect choice for you! It is a very refreshing, seasonal shake. In addition to this, there are also Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Cookies & Cream milkshake.
9. Hardee’s Vanilla Shake
Hardee’s Vanilla Shake also deserves to be mentioned. It is an old-fashioned, classic, and hand-dipped shake. It has a rich and pleasant vanilla taste, it is not too intense and too sweet.
10. Swenson’s
If you are tired of classic flavors and want to try something exotic and refreshing, go to Swenson’s. The fruity orange base and chunks of real pineapple blended throughout will give you a real pleasure on hot summer days. Among many classic milkshakes, there is plenty of special ones, so on their menu, we can find Hot fudge, Caramel, Blueberry, Peanut butter, Banana, Mocha, Mint, Grape, Root Beer, and many others. We are sure that it will meet the criteria of even the greatest gourmets.
11. Culver’s
Culver’s Chocolate and Strawberry Shake is the right choice for those who love strawberries covered with chocolate. Due to large strawberry chunks dipped into delicious chocolate, this milkshake is being served with a spoon.
12. Dr. Pepper
What a burger and Dr. Pepper have very interesting flavors in offer. Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, and Salted Caramel. Although delicious, the downside is that their shakes can only be found at certain fast-food restaurants in Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
13. Arby’s Jamocha
Arby’s Jamocha Shake is the perfect choice for every coffee lover. The mixture of coffee and chocolate are a perfect match! This milkshake will refresh you, and at the same time satisfy your need for caffeine intake. If you need extra caffeine, you can try using supplements such as Vivarin Gum.
14. In-N-Out Neapolitan Shake
Last, but not least is the In-N-Out Neapolitan Shake. It is made of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberries in combination with real ice cream.
No matter how hard we try to make any of these famous shakes at home, we won’t be able to do it. Why? Every company has some special ingredient that makes it shakes unique. It is also unprofitable to try to make the same one by yourself, because rarely does anyone have all the ingredients used. So, if you want to please yourself and your family, you can improvise and make some of your favorite ingredients. For example, milk, ice, bananas, and blueberries will be pleasant at high temperatures, and you will also get protein into your body. And if you add vanilla ice cream, it will be a real explosion of taste! Don’t be afraid to experiment. Even if one fails, it’s not a big deal, the next one will be better.
