Burger king Handspun Shakes

addictionxoxo

Are Burger King's handspun shakes SERIOUSLY only 190 calories? I know they're not the healthiest thing in the world, but I treat myself to them every once in a while. But I find the calorie content hard to believe, because they're a pretty decent size and taste just like any other fattening shake. What's so different about theirs that makes them only 190 calories? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I must know.

I know their site claims the strawberry handspun shake to be 190, but I know there can be typos possibly?

anyone know anything about it, or how I could find out?

Maybe they're mostly strawberries?

No. 22 on the men's health list of The 24 Best (and Worst) Desserts in America.

22. Burger King Strawberry Hand Spun Shake

190 calories
4 g fat (2.5 g saturated)
31 g sugars

A shake ordered through most drive-through windows pushes close to 600 calories. That doesn’t make BK’s version necessarily healthy, but ordering the "Hand Spun" version cuts the caloric load by 70 percent.

the straight-up medium strawberry shake, though?

I saw that, and figured maybe they got it from the website also, but thankyou!

what size is the handspun? I loves ice cream and 190 isn't too bad!

Regular size They have regular and large. I have no idea how many are in their larges though it doesn't say anywhere.

I had one recently, and when I checked the BK site, it shows the small strawberry hand spun shake coming in at 500 calories. Don't know where all that 190 calorie information came from, but I saw it on various diet-related sites. Too bad:drinker:
