Milkshakes still reign supreme among Baby Boomers. 62% of them are likely to opt for the milky indulgence over a smoothie.
No matter what generation you belong to, there’s no denying that milkshakes are delicious. These cold treats can be a meal in themselves or a satisfying complement to your favorite burger. Regardless of what sort of burger you’re craving, finding the perfect milkshake is the ultimate foodie experience.
If you want to make this combination a routine part of your restaurant experience, it helps to know how best to combine the two. Here are a few ideas for milkshake flavors that complement the most popular burger options.
Angus Beef Burger
Angus beef is known for its marbling, which makes it very tender and juicy. It’s lower in fat than other types of beef and also has a high protein content. Chocolate milkshakes are the ideal complement to this traditional burger, adding a little extra protein while also balancing out that savory flavor!
You can also try chocolate peanut butter milkshakes if you want something even more decadent.
Turkey Burger
The subtle flavor of turkey makes it an ideal candidate for pairing with bold flavors. A salted caramel milkshake will balance out the savory flavor of the turkey while adding a little extra sweetness. The sweet and salty combo is delicious on its own, but it’s downright heavenly when paired with a juicy turkey patty.
Chicken Burger
If you’re looking to cut back on calories and saturated fats, but still want something that packs a flavor punch, chicken burgers are your best bet. The meaty patties have fewer calories than beef and pork burgers. They’re also lower in fat!
When you’re craving something sweet with your savory sandwich, vanilla milkshakes are a classic option that will go well with just about any burger. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, try s’more milkshakes. The marshmallow fluff mixed with chocolate creates a decadent treat that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Turkey BLT
The bacon in this recipe adds tons of flavor to turkey meat. Balance this flavor with sweet notes, like vanilla or strawberry. These milkshakes will accentuate the bacon’s salty flavor.
Veggie Burger
Strawberry milkshakes are the perfect complement to a veggie burger. The sweet fruit and creamy texture complement the hearty taste of your vegetarian patty, adding a bit of sweetness that will make your meal even more enjoyable. If you’re not into strawberries, Nutella milkshakes will give you that same creamy texture, but with an added chocolate flavor!
