After a 13-year hiatus, Chick-fil-A has brought back a beloved treat: the Banana Pudding Milkshake. It’ll remain available (along with the resurrected Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich) for a limited time, starting on Aug. 26.
“Every decision we make regarding our menu is extremely intentional,” said Chick-fil-A Director of Menu and Packaging Allison Duncan in a press release. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring back two of our most popular picks this season!” The announcement about the milkshake has stoked excitement on X , with fans thanking the fast-food chain and declaring the item to be “top tier.” Do not mistake the special shake for a healthy smoothie, though: It exceeds intake recommendations for an entire day when it comes to saturated fat and sugar .
What’s in the Banana Pudding Milkshake? “Hand-spun the old-fashioned way, this refreshing milkshake features Chick-fil-A® Icedream® dessert mixed with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, topped off with whipped cream and a cherry,” notes the Chick-fil-A website . And according to the website’s nutritional information , the shake contains 700 calories —about a quarter of the recommended daily caloric intake for a moderately active 20-year-old man, according to USDA guidelines . The treat also contains 22 grams of fat—14 of which are saturated, which is one gram over the American Heart Association’s daily suggestion (based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day intake) and nearing the more leni.
