Milkshakes are creamy, chilled beverages made by blending milk, ice cream, and flavorings such as chocolate, vanilla, or fruit. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, they are a classic treat often enjoyed as a dessert or a refreshing drink. While milkshakes are rich in flavor and a source of dairy, providing calcium and protein, they are also typically high in sugar and saturated fats, depending on the ingredients. Add-ons like whipped cream, syrups, or candy toppings can further increase calorie content. Homemade versions can be adapted for healthier alternatives by using frozen fruit, low-fat milk, or plant-based milk options. Although indulgent and delicious, milkshakes are best consumed in moderation, especially as their traditional preparation is more aligned with a treat than a nutritional staple.
