Vanilla Milkshake — Chick-fil-A

Is the Vanilla Milkshake a good deal?

At a typical $5.40, the Vanilla Milkshake at Chick-fil-A gives you 580 calories and 13g of protein — 2.4g of protein and 107 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 49/100, which ranks it #3 of the 53 dessert items we've priced across every chain (the typical dessert item returns about 1.5g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — it carries a lot of sugar (80g), and saturated fat is steep (15g). If you want more for your money in the same category, Twisted Churro at Costco Food Court scores higher (85/100 value, $1.49).
