McDonald’s Milkshake Menu
McDonald’s offers three main categories of shakes: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Each shake has its own unique and delicious flavor. Additionally, seasonal options like the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Mango Pineapple Smoothie may be available, so it’s a good idea to check with your local franchise.
McDonald’s milkshakes are made by blending creamy vanilla soft serve with rich flavored syrups, such as chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla, and are topped with whipped cream. They are freshly prepared by mixing the syrup into the soft serve until it becomes smooth and thick, then served cold in a cup with a straw. Simple, sweet, and always satisfying, this classic treat is ready in seconds.
