A healthy shake for breakfast???

Think twice next time you order shakes from a fast food restaurant. What may appear to be a semi healthy choice due to the presence of milk conceals the fact that these are the worst health offenders on the menu. The shake below contains 64g of saturated fat ( the heart stopping kind) which is over 3 times the daily recommended allowance and equivalent to…wait for it….60, yes 60 slices of bacon. My kids love shakes but now I know this stuff I guess I’m going to have to be the bad guy from now on.

1. The Worst Drink in America

Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake

2,310 calories
108 g fat (64 g saturated)
266 gLet’s look at America’s Worst Drink in numbers:73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off.

Wow!! Thats disgusting. What are we doing to our kids? I heard that this generation of kids will be the first ever not to outlive their parents, due to poor diet and obesity. It’s a shame!
