  3. Considering how unhealthy McDonald's milkshakes are, try out the recipe found here http://myhealthydietfood.com/recipes/low-calorie-ww-chocolate-milkshake-recipe/183/ for something that still tastes great but doesn't come with all the calories

  4. This isn't like a McDonalds milkshake at all! There is no ice cream, milk, or cream in a McD's shake. You'd have to make it out of fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, sugar, natural flavor (plant source), xanthan gum, citric acid, and sodium benzoate (preservative). Then you'll have a McDonald's milkshake...

  5. Made this milkshake in both the vanilla and chocolate versions. All in all had a great flavor.... topped it with whipped cream and a cherry. My only complaint about it is that it was not quite thick enough for me. I am going to try a heavier ice cream next time.
