How many calories are in a milkshake?
USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) lists these thick shakes, which are the closest official entries to a fast-food style shake.
| Entry | Per 100 g | Listed container | Container (our calculation) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milk shakes, thick vanilla | 112 kcal | 11 oz, 313 g | about 351 kcal |
| Milk shakes, thick chocolate | 119 kcal | 10.6 oz, 300 g | about 357 kcal |
Is a malt higher in calories than a shake?
We found no USDA or other official entry for a malted milkshake, and none that compares a malt with a plain shake. So we cannot say how many calories malt powder adds. Shop and restaurant recipes vary in ice cream, milk and size, so check the nutrition information from the place you buy it.
What else is in a thick shake?
Per 100 g, USDA lists vanilla at 3.86 g protein, 3.03 g fat and 17.8 g carbohydrate. Chocolate has 3.05 g protein, 2.7 g fat and 21.2 g carbohydrate. USDA does not list sugars separately for these entries.
How big is your shake?
Calories scale with weight. A 16 fl oz shake is not the same as an 11 oz container. These entries give about 28.4 g per fluid ounce, so 16 fl oz would be about 454 g, or roughly 509 kcal for vanilla (our calculation). Real shakes will differ.
