Dairy Queen Milkshake Menu

Here is a quick look at the shakes listed on DQ’s official US product pages, alongside popular frozen treats featured on the DQ Blizzard menu.

Shake	Main flavor ingredient	Listed sizes
Chocolate	Chocolate topping	Small, medium, large
Vanilla	Vanilla syrup	Small, medium, large
Strawberry	Strawberries	Small, medium, large
Caramel	Caramel topping	Small, medium, large
Hot Fudge	Hot fudge	Small, medium, large
Peanut Butter	Peanut butter topping	Small, medium, large

These product pages list shakes and malts. They also note that the items are sold at participating stores, so your nearest DQ may have a different choice.

Banana shakes also appear in DQ’s published US nutrition table. Just like Dairy Queen breakfast options, shake availability can vary by location, so the listing alone does not confirm that your local store sells them today. Check with your nearest DQ before you go.

What Milkshake Flavors Does Dairy Queen Have?

Chocolate Shake

DQ blends its soft serve with milk and chocolate topping, then adds whipped topping. Choose this if chocolate is the flavor you want. There is also a chocolate malt option. Check which one you select, since the shake and malt do not have the same nutrition facts.

Vanilla Shake

The vanilla shake blends soft serve, milk, and vanilla syrup. Whipped topping finishes the drink. This is the most straightforward choice if you want vanilla without a fruit, fudge, or peanut butter flavor mixed in.

Strawberry Shake

DQ’s strawberry shake uses strawberries, milk, and soft serve, with whipped topping on top. If you are choosing between a fruit flavor and chocolate, this gives you a berry option. The official page also lists a strawberry malt.

Banana Shake

You may see a banana shake on a local menu. DQ’s US nutrition table lists it in small, medium, and large sizes. Confirm it with your store. Also, check the full name: a plain banana shake is not the same item as the Savannah Bananas Split Shake discussed below.

Caramel Shake

The caramel shake blends milk, soft serve, and caramel, then adds whipped topping. It is a choice for someone who wants caramel flavor rather than chocolate or fruit. A caramel malt is listed too.

Hot Fudge Shake

The hot fudge shake uses milk, vanilla soft serve, and hot fudge. It also comes with whipped topping. It differs from the chocolate shake in the topping mixed into the base. Use the hot fudge nutrition row when checking its calories.

Peanut Butter Shake

DQ mixes peanut butter topping with vanilla soft serve and adds whipped topping. You can also choose the malt version. This flavor contains peanut ingredients. If you have a peanut allergy, do not treat it as a safe choice.

How Much Is a Milkshake at Dairy Queen?

Check your selected store for the current price. The official product pages reviewed for this guide do not show one national price for each shake size.

To find the cost of your order:

Online ordering is only offered at participating stores. If your location does not support it, call the store for its menu prices and check What Time Does Dairy Queen Close to plan your visit accordingly.

When you compare prices, compare the same size and flavor. Check whether the quote is for pickup or delivery and whether tax or fees are added.

A price from one store should not be treated as the price at every DQ.

Dairy Queen Milkshake Sizes

DQ’s US shake product pages list small, medium, and large

Size	When you might choose it
Small	You want a smaller portion with your meal.
Medium	You want more than a small serving.
Large	You want the largest of the three listed sizes.

These are the size names shown on the menu. Exact cup volumes were not confirmed in the official pages reviewed, so this guide does not assign an ounce count to each one.

Dairy Queen Milkshake Calories

Calories change with both size and flavor. This table shows the shake values in DQ’s published US nutrition table.

Source note: That page is labelled August 26, 2024. These are its published figures, not newly measured 2026 values. Confirm your exact order if the local menu differs.

Shake	Small	Medium	Large
Banana	470	590	750
Strawberry	490	630	800
Vanilla	520	660	860
Chocolate	530	710	920
Caramel	550	750	980
Hot Fudge	550	750	990
Peanut Butter	640	930	1,250

Values are calories per listed serving. These rows are for shakes, not malts. A nutrition listing does not prove current menu availability.

For example, the listed small chocolate shake has 530 calories, while the large has 920. Checking Dairy Queen Nutrition information can help you compare sizes and make informed choices, as portion size can make a bigger difference than a small change in flavor.

What Is in a Dairy Queen Milkshake?

The base depends on the item, but DQ’s chocolate and vanilla shake pages describe soft serve blended with milk and a flavor ingredient. Whipped topping goes on top.

For vanilla, the added flavor is vanilla syrup. For chocolate, it is chocolate topping. Other shakes use their own fruit or topping.

Does DQ Use Real Milk?

Yes. The official chocolate and vanilla shake pages list milk. The chocolate page also lists milk ingredients in the soft serve base. These are dairy drinks. They should not be confused with a dairy-free product.

What If You Have a Food Allergy?

Check the ingredient list for your exact flavor. Tell the staff about your allergy before you order. DQ warns that allergens can come into contact with food in its stores. It does not promise that any item is allergen-free. A flavor name alone is not enough to judge whether it is safe for you.

Dairy Queen Shake vs Malt vs Blizzard

These names refer to different treats.

Item	What makes it different
Shake	A blended drink made with soft serve, milk, and flavor ingredients.
Malt	A shake-style drink with a malt addition for a malted taste.
Blizzard	A separate soft serve treat with mix-ins, usually eaten with a spoon.

DQ describes its chocolate malt as having a malted milk taste. Its nutrition table lists extra calories for making a shake into a malt. Do not use a shake’s calorie count for the malt version.

The same care applies to flavor names. An Oreo Blizzard listing does not prove that a store also offers an Oreo milkshake.

New and Seasonal Dairy Queen Shakes

Some dq shakes have their own launch or seasonal menu. An old product page may still appear in search after the item is no longer available.

Here is what the official sources showed when this guide was checked.

Fruity Pebbles Shake

DQ’s Fruity Pebbles Shake blends the cereal with vanilla soft serve and milk, then adds whipped topping.

The official US product page showed a “currently unavailable” notice when checked. It should not be listed as a shake you can order everywhere today. Ask your store if it has returned locally.

Savannah Bananas Split Shake

DQ announced this shake in February 2026, with a launch at participating US stores on February 23.

The recipe described in the announcement includes soft serve, milk, banana, strawberries, chocolatey shavings, and whipped topping. It is a banana split-style shake, not just a plain banana shake.

The launch date does not confirm current stock. Check your store before ordering.

Pumpkin Cookie Butter Shake

This shake combines pumpkin, milk, soft serve, and cookie butter. The official page describes nutmeg and whipped topping on top.

Its product page also showed a “currently unavailable” notice when checked. Do not assume that it is on the menu just because it is fall. The Pumpkin Pie Blizzard is a different product.

How to Find Dairy Queen Milkshakes Near You

Start with the store search on the official Dairy Queen website. Select the restaurant you plan to visit, then check its local menu.

If online ordering is offered, choose your flavor and size to see the options for that store. DQ says pickup methods vary by location. Your choices may include pickup inside, curbside, or the drive-thru.

Call the store if you need to check a seasonal flavor, an ingredient, or a custom request. This is also useful when an item does not appear in the app, since the app may not include every local menu choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard Oreo milkshake was not confirmed on the official US shake pages reviewed for this guide.

Ask the store which changes it can make. Do not assume that every flavor can be mixed or that every topping can be added.

DQ’s app allows some changes to items, but its FAQ notes limits on the choices shown online.

Do not assume that all DQ shakes are gluten-free. Ingredients differ by flavor, and shared equipment can lead to contact with allergens.

Check the exact item with the store. DQ does not guarantee that its food is allergen-free.

A sugar-free shake was not confirmed in the official US sources reviewed. The published nutrition table lists sugar in the standard shakes covered here.

Leaving off whipped topping does not make the whole drink sugar-free.

That depends on the flavor you like. Start with chocolate or vanilla if that is your usual choice. Pick strawberry if you want a berry flavor, or peanut butter if you enjoy that taste.

This guide compares menu facts. It does not claim a taste-test winner.

DQ announced a limited-time shake offer as part of its 2026 Savannah Bananas partnership. The offer had app, membership, and other terms.

That announcement is not proof of a free shake offer today. Check the current deals in your DQ account before visiting.

Use the Canadian menu when ordering in Canada. DQ publishes separate Canadian nutrition information, so US prices and calorie counts should not be assumed to apply there.
