Shake vs. Malt — What Is a Malt?
A malt (or malted milk shake) adds malted milk powder to the standard shake recipe. Malted milk powder adds a slightly tangy, nutty flavor depth that complements the base flavor. DQ malts are available in all shake flavors at approximately the same price as shakes. If you have never had a malt before, Chocolate Malt is the best starting point — the malted flavor complements chocolate very well.
DQ Shake vs. Blizzard — Which Is Better?
- Shake — Thinner, drinkable through a straw (with effort), single flavor base, good with meals. Lower starting price.
- Blizzard — Thicker, eaten with a spoon, has mix-in pieces distributed throughout. More dessert-like experience.
- If you want something to drink alongside a meal, go shake. If you want a standalone dessert, go Blizzard.
