“A diet rich in saturated fat can increase total cholesterol and potentially lead to more harmful LDL cholesterol. “Milk-based products will have saturated fat,” Patel explains. There are some glaring problems across the board, of course, beginning with all of that saturated fat. Strawberry Shake : 690 calories, 24 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat and 64 grams of sugar Chick-Fil-A Peach Milkshake : 590 calories, 13 grams of saturated fat and 88 grams of sugar.Shake Shack Black & White Shake : 580 calories, 19 grams of saturated fat and 58 grams of sugar.Sonic Fresh Banana Shake: 430 calories, 15 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat and 37 grams of sugar.McDonald’s M&M McFlurry : 420 calories, 9 grams of saturated fat and 55 grams of sugar.Dairy Queen Oreo Cookie Blizzard : 380 calories, 7 grams of saturated fat and 44 grams of sugar.Culver’s Vanilla Custard : 310 calories, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat and 27 grams of sugar.A&W Root Beer Float : 310 calories, 3 grams of saturated fat and 59 grams of sugar.Burger King Chocolate Fudge Sundae : 286 calories, 5 grams of saturated fat and 40 grams of sugar.Wendy’s Chocolate Frosty : 200 calories, 3 grams of saturated fat and 27 grams of sugar.Which Fast Food Restaurant Has the Healthiest Ice Cream? You’ll notice that, as the ingredients are all so similar, this is a little different from our standard rankings. But sometimes you want something a little extra, so here are the ice creams I asked Patel to sort through, alongside nutritional information for their smallest sizes (because ordering anything larger is a death wish). Right away, I should note that the best choice in most cases is a small vanilla ice cream cone. In an effort to minimize harm, I asked registered dietitian Niti Patel, founder of Nutrition Is Today’s Intelligence, to help me identify the least unhealthy frozen cream available at a wide assortment of fast-food restaurants. There are (emotional) wounds that only an Oreo McFlurry can heal - trust me, I’d know - but at the cost of a destructive sugar overload. Pulling into McDonald’s for an ice cream is an act of both self-care and self-destruction.
