After a 13-year hiatus, Chick-fil-A<\/a> has brought back a beloved treat: the Banana Pudding Milkshake. It\u2019ll remain available (along with the resurrected Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich) for a limited time, starting on Aug. 26.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEvery decision we make regarding our menu is extremely intentional,\u201d said\u00a0Chick-fil-A<\/a> Director of Menu and Packaging<\/a> Allison Duncan in a press release. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be able to bring back two of our most popular picks this season!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement about the milkshake has stoked excitement on X<\/a>, with fans thanking the fast-food chain<\/a> and declaring the item to be \u201ctop tier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do not mistake the special shake for a healthy smoothie, though: It exceeds intake recommendations for an entire day<\/em> when it comes to saturated fat and sugar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in the Banana Pudding Milkshake?<\/h2>\n

\u201cHand-spun the old-fashioned way, this refreshing milkshake features Chick-fil-A\u00ae Icedream\u00ae dessert mixed with banana and vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, topped off with whipped cream and a cherry,\u201d notes the Chick-fil-A website<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

And according to the website\u2019s nutritional information<\/a>, the shake contains 700 calories<\/a>\u2014about a quarter of the recommended daily caloric intake for a moderately active 20-year-old man, according to USDA guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The treat also contains 22 grams of fat\u201414 of which are saturated, which is one gram over the American Heart Association\u2019s daily suggestion<\/a> (based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day intake) and nearing the more lenient daily recommendation of the USDA<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It contains 117 grams of carbs\u2014about half of the USDA\u2019s daily recommended allowance<\/a>\u2014and a surprising 370 grams of sodium, which is quite a bit less than the World Health Organization\u2019s <\/a>recommended intake of less than 2,000 grams a day. Oh, and bonus: The shake contains 12 grams of protein!<\/p>\n

What about sugar?<\/h2>\n

But finally, there\u2019s the Banana Pudding Milkshake\u2019s whopping 97 grams of sugar\u2014too much of which can contribute to health problems including weight gain and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease, according to<\/a> the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). <\/p>\n

That 97 grams is more than any other treat on offer at the chain, including the Cookies & Cream Milkshake, which has less calories (630) but a still-high 84 grams of sugar. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s also way over the American Heart Association<\/a>\u2018s daily sugar intake limit for both women (25 grams) and men (36 grams)\u2014around the amount found in a 12-ounce can of soda\u2014and more than twice the USDA\u2019s more lenient<\/a> sugar limit of no more than 50 grams in an entire day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
