Men’s Health recently described Cold Stone Creamery’s PB & C shake as the unhealthiest drink in America. Being a huge fan of chocolate/peanut butter combinations, I naturally had to try it out for myself.
Not being suicidal, I ordered the shake in the smallest possible size. That proved to be a wise choice because the PB & C is incredibly rich. It’s so rich in fact that you have to drink it slowly, lest its leaden mass overwhelm your stomach. Even then, it sits in your gut, giving you an unpleasant reminder of just how many calories you’ve ingested.
You would think that, for all those calories, the PB & C would at least be sinfully delicious, but that’s not the case. It’s really too rich for its own good, which makes it a chore to drink.
If you’re looking for a chocolate/peanut butter treat, I suggest you skip Cold Stone and go to Jamba Juice and get the Peanut Butter Moo’d instead. You’ll save a couple hundred calories and you won’t feel like you drank lead afterward.
