![]() ![]() Maybe I'll go on a nice hot day and get one of those sandwiches with the frozen lemonade that everyone seems to enjoy. I'll go back at some point and either try the grilled chicken club or maybe the grilled chicken cool wrap. It's nice to bite in to real chicken and not some processed chicken form chunk. I went with their regular chicken sandwich meal and I had forgotten that it only comes with pickles, nothing else. Other thoughts: Eat your fries quickly before they cool and become rubbery (this does't take long). You need the salt and other flavor highlights from your meal to break up that bit of wonk that comes with an ice dream base. To put it another way, I can't imagine getting this shake by itself. ![]() I'm not saying it's terrible, but this is no standard ice cream shake either. There's just something with the way it breaks down. While the shake was much thicker than expected, the use of their "ice dream" does give this shake an air of frozen dairy dessert to it. If I had my way, I'd prefer the wafer (cocoa-ish) flavor to be stronger to give this shake a better balance. I don't know if it's coming from the base vanilla ice dream or if they've added something to the mix to make it more potent. It's got a decent cookie wafer vibe but it's the cookie cream filling flavor that is most prevalent. ![]() Even they, however, will ultimately pay the price.Overall I'd say it's a pretty good shake, especially for a fast food joint. Or they are adolescents who are converting much of the energy into growth. The so-called skinny people who can consume 20 of the milkshakes I blogged about and not gain weight are a myth. And people ate more fat than they do today. We probably have as much self control now (as a nation) as we did 50 years ago, yet there wasn’t nearly as much obesity then. I don’t know that I agree with you that the reason most Americans are overweight is due to lack of self control. If you eat nothing but the chicken at Chick-fil-A, you will do fine. The chicken at Chick-fil-A is very good, and I’ve eaten a lot of it in years gone by when I lived near a store. You can lose weight eating at Chick-fil-A. Thanks for help setting the record straight. We can’t punish those skinny people who can have 20 milkshakes and not gain an ounce….if you are fat, practice self control….I am getting to my goal weight, and I thank Chick-fil-A for helping. I have had 1 milkshake in the 2 years they have been out….however I eat chick-fil-a about 5 times a week. Well, I have worked for Chick-fil-A for over six years, and since I began at a whopping 230 pounds (fat kid) and now weigh under 150 (yes, working at chick-fil-a) I want to put up a defense that we have very good choices on our menu as well….the reason America is obese is because of lack of self control, not because people started selling 800 calorie milkshakes (although I know the temptation doesn’t help). I wonder if those surprises include type II diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “Following last year’s highly successful rollout of Hand-Spun Milkshakes, we wanted to let our customers know that we appreciate their enthusiastic support of the shakes – and that we have a few surprises in store for them!” “The Mint Cookies and Cream Milkshake is just plain fun,” said Woody Faulk, Chick-fil-A’s vice president of brand development. If you’re looking for nutritional bang for your buck and better health…well, you make the call. If you’re looking for cheap calories, the milkshake is the way to go. If you do the math you discover that with the steak you get about 37 kcal per dollar spent whereas with the Mint Cookies and Cream milkshake you get 283 kcal for your dollar. According to the USDA food database, a 16 ounce t-bone steak with 1/4″ fat contains 599 kcal. The last time I went to my natural foods grocery store grass-fed beef steak was selling for $16 per pound. 5g trans fat 95mg cholesterol, 660mg sodium, 111g carbohydrates, 1g fiber, and 100g sugars.
