Baskin Robbins Milkshakes: Flavors, Calories & Prices
A Baskin-Robbins milkshake is not a fixed menu item. It is a build — ice cream, milk and simple syrup, blended to order — which means the flavour you pick decides everything about what you get, including a calorie swing of nearly a thousand between the lightest and heaviest options.
That is the part most price guides skip. Here is the full picture.
How the shake is built
Three components go in the blender: your choice of hard-scoop ice cream, milk, and simple syrup. Nothing is pre-mixed, so any flavour on the board that day can become a shake — including the Flavor of the Month.
Two details worth knowing before you order:
- Whipped cream is added in shop but not included on delivery orders. If you order through DoorDash or Uber Eats, expect the shake without it.
- Because the base is hand-scooped ice cream rather than a soft-serve mix, the texture is thicker than a typical fast-food shake.
Calories by flavour
This is where the flavour choice carries real weight. Figures below run smallest size to largest, from published Baskin-Robbins nutrition data:
| Milkshake flavour | Calories (small–large) |
|---|---|
| Very Berry Strawberry | 610–1,210 |
| Vanilla | 680–1,370 |
| Gold Medal Ribbon | 680–1,370 |
| Chocolate Chip | 690–1,370 |
| Mint Chocolate Chip | 690–1,380 |
| World Class Chocolate | 710–1,420 |
| OREO Cookies ‘n Cream | 720–1,440 |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | 760–1,520 |
| Peanut Butter ‘n Chocolate | 790–1,590 |
The spread between a small Very Berry Strawberry and a large Peanut Butter ‘n Chocolate is roughly 980 calories — the same order in name, four times the load.
Fruit-forward and plain cream bases sit at the bottom. Anything with dough, nut butter or cookie pieces sits at the top, because the mix-ins go into the blender with the ice cream.
A Sundae Shake, which layers sundae toppings into the blend, comes in around 780.
Sizes and how they scale
Milkshakes pour in the same four sizes as the rest of the blended board:
| Size | Volume |
|---|---|
| Mini | 12 oz |
| Small | 16 oz |
| Medium | 24 oz |
| Large | 32 oz |
The mini is the one to know if you want a shake alongside a scoop rather than instead of one. Stepping from small to large roughly doubles both the volume and the calories.
What a milkshake costs
Shake pricing follows the standard beverage ladder, and each franchise sets its own figures:
| Size | Typical in-shop price |
|---|---|
| Mini | $3.69–$4.70 |
| Small | $4.69–$6.00 |
| Medium | $5.69–$7.25 |
| Large | $6.69–$8.50 |
Delivery runs higher. A milkshake listed on DoorDash in New York City in July 2026 came in at $8.73 — above the top of the typical walk-in range. Uber Eats lists shakes as priced by add-on, since the size and flavour selection determines the final total before checkout.
If you are buying more than one, pickup through the BR App is the cheaper route by a clear margin.
Limited-time and specialty shakes
Beyond the standard build, Baskin-Robbins runs shakes tied to seasonal flavours:
Dubai Chocolate Inspired Shake — Pistachio Chocolate Bar ice cream blended with milk and pistachio sauce, served in a fudge-drizzled cup and finished with whipped cream, more pistachio sauce and kadayif. Part of the Dubai Chocolate Collection introduced in late 2025 and still running through 2026.
Flavor of the Month shakes — the featured monthly flavour is usually offered as a shake alongside the cup and cone. July 2026 is Brookie Batter, a brown sugar and brownie batter blend with OREO cookie pieces and cookie and brownie dough. June 2026 was Fútbol Fireworks, which also ran as a milkshake.
Because these rotate on the 1st of each month, check the board or the BR App rather than an older list.
Ordering notes worth knowing
Can you get a dairy-free milkshake?
Not reliably. The blend uses milk, and the two non-dairy ice cream flavours — Non-Dairy Cookies ‘n Crème and Non-Dairy Jamoca Chip — would still need a dairy-free liquid substitute that Baskin-Robbins does not offer as standard. Smoothies are the only dairy-free blended option, covered in our full Baskin Robbins drinks menu guide.
Can you mix two flavours in one shake?
Shops will generally blend a combination on request, though it is not a listed menu option and depends on the location.
Does the Flavor of the Month cost more as a shake?
Pricing follows the standard size ladder. Seasonal flavours are not priced separately.
Which shake gives the most for the money?
By volume, a large at $6.69–$8.50 works out cheaper per ounce than a mini. By calorie load, a small Very Berry Strawberry is the lightest way to have one.
