Chick-fil-A goes bananas for new milkshake

February 24, 2011

Chick-fil-A will roll out its new banana pudding milkshake Feb. 28. The southern classic will be available nationwide through June 4.

The new shake will be available in 14 oz. or 20 oz. cups and priced at $2.49 and $2.89, respectively. It is made with fresh bananas, Nilla wafers, a splash of vanilla and Chick-fil-A’s home-style "Icedream." The milkshakes will be topped with light whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

To celebrate the rollout, Chick-fil-A is inviting customers to submit their favorite banana pudding recipes and the story behind them on the chain’s Facebook page.

Chick-fil-A rotates a variety of handspun milkshakes annually, based on consumer demand. Banana-based offerings have been a popular request.

"We wanted to offer something unique, yet connected to our Southern roots, instead of the typical banana milkshake option. In the South, banana pudding reigns supreme as one of the favorite traditional desserts, most commonly associated with family," said Woody Faulk, Chick-fil-A's vice president of brand development. "Our customers continue to tell us how much they enjoy our hand-spun milkshakes, so we want to continue to satisfy their tastes while also surprising them with occasional limited-time new flavors."
