The new Krispy Kreme milkshake is packed with calories Not even the most deluded person would pop into a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee bar for a healthy meal. After all, the chain, which has become a fixture on the British High Street in just a few sticky years, is famed for its indulgent sugary treats. But the calorie content of its latest range might cause even Homer Simpson — the world’s most famous doughnut lover — to raise an eyebrow. It has been revealed that Krispy Kreme’s new ‘doughnut-inspired’ milkshakes contain up to 612 calories — nearly as much as a roast chicken meal or a McDonald’s cheeseburger with fries.
