Chick-fil-A has announced that they are bringing back their Banana Pudding Milkshake for the first time in 13 years, much to the delight of fans. This sweet treat is made by hand-spinning Chick-fil-A’s classic “Icedream” ice cream with sweet cream, natural bananas, banana puree, and crushed vanilla wafer cookies. Topped with whipped cream, vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, and a cherry, this shake is a nostalgic reminder of family reunions and community gatherings.
With about 880 calories, 155 grams of carbs, 25 grams of fat, and 13 grams of protein, the Banana Pudding Milkshake is not a healthy option, but its appeal lies in its comforting and familiar taste. Chick-fil-A Chef Christy Cook expressed that the shake is meant to evoke feelings of gathering with friends and loved ones, much like enjoying a serving of banana pudding at a family reunion.
In addition to the Banana Pudding Milkshake, Chick-fil-A is also introducing a Banana Frosted Coffee, which combines cold-brewed coffee, Icedream ice cream, banana, and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles. While these new banana-flavored beverages are sure to excite fans, traditional banana pudding will not be added to the menu at Chick-fil-A locations, though it can be found at their sister stores in Georgia.
The limited-edition Banana Pudding Milkshake and Banana Frosted Coffee will be available at select Chick-fil-A stores in-person and online from August 26 to November 16, while supplies last. These sweet treats are part of Chick-fil-A’s strategy to offer new and exciting menu items for a limited time, with other items typically being offered for about ten weeks. Alongside the return of the Banana Pudding Milkshake, Chick-fil-A is also debuting a spicier version of the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich on the same day.
Overall, Chick-fil-A fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the Banana Pudding Milkshake after over a decade of absence. With its delicious blend of ice cream, bananas, and vanilla wafers, this sweet treat is a nostalgic reminder of family gatherings and community events. While the shake may not be the healthiest option on the menu, its popularity lies in its comforting and familiar taste, making it a highly anticipated limited-time offering from the franchise.
