Sugar Crush
Ordering a regular milkshake with your fast food meal feels harmless enough — until you realize it might be the most over-the-top thing in the bag.
PlushCare analyzed vanilla shakes from 14 major fast food chains, breaking each one down by energy, fat, sugar, and sodium to calculate a final unhealthiness score. We also looked at the full nutritional breakdown for each shake to give you a clearer picture of what you’re actually drinking sugar and fat were the usual suspects, but a few shakes also came loaded with way more salt than you'd expect from something sweet.
Here’s how they all ranked, from the least to the most unhealthy.
