An Egg Cream is a classic soda fountain drink originating from New York City in the late 19th to early 20th century, often associated with Jewish-American cuisine. Despite its name, it contains no eggs or cream. The drink is made with three simple ingredients: milk, seltzer water, and chocolate or vanilla syrup. The result is a fizzy, creamy beverage with a light, refreshing texture. From a nutritional perspective, the calorie content largely depends on the type and amount of syrup and milk used. Whole milk and regular syrup increase the sugar and fat content, while skim milk and low-sugar syrups can offer a lighter option. While Egg Creams are not particularly nutrient-rich, they are lower in calories compared to many modern milkshakes. However, they do contain sugar and should be enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a balanced diet.
