This one is going to save you calories and money!
Chick-Fil-A has introduced the Banana Pudding Milkshake as a special flavor this summer. Even though my daughter works there, I rarely go. However, I couldn’t resist trying this new shake.
And oh my goodness! It is fantastic!
It also rings in at 780 calories for a small. Gulp. Not to mention, that it will cost $2.75. If you’re buying for several people that’s going to add up fast.
So I set about trying to make a lower calorie, lower cost version at home. This one comes pretty close.
Place all ingredients in blender and mix. Makes 2 servings (12 oz each).
The homemade version will cost about $2 to make the equivalent of 2 small (12 oz) shakes, so about $1 per serving. That’s the tall glass in the photo. It has 515 calories, compared to 780 in the Chick-fil-A version. If you’re watching your calories, go for a half serving for 260 calories. Still a splurge but not too bad.
