The bacon milkshake.



Jack in the Box’s newest dessert menu item, their bacon milkshake comes in at 770 calories and 89 carbohydrates.

Mine comes in at 1100 calories and 8 carbohydrates. Granted, I add more zhoozh to mine, so it’s going to be fattier and more flavorful (read tips below for cutting fat and calories). The review: This low carb milkshake is filling. I had one and it was a meal. This milkshake is delicious. I am a tough sell when it comes to sweets. I don’t even like sweets. So for me to sign off on this is pretty major. It’s the perfect combination of fat to sweet and savory; and, believe it or not, the slight salt in the optional, chopped bacon bits really adds some amazing chew to the overall result. The result? Love. Love love love.

Want to cut calories and fat? Use coconut milk or almond milk in your shake in place of the heavy whipped cream and skip the whipped cream topping and optional bacon bits.

If your shake is too thick, add water to thin out the cream, 2 Tbsp at a time.

This recipe is not Atkins induction friendly, but it is low carb.

This recipe is gluten free and sugar free.

No, it’s not for daily consumption. Even though this one is friendly to the blood sugar, who drinks milkshakes on a regular basis?
