The Healthiest Baskin-Robbins Menu Items—and 5 To Skip

Baskin-Robbins began in 1945 in Glendale, CA, when ice cream lovers Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins decided to offer 31 flavors instead of the usual vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Their innovative thinking took off, and now, 75 years later, the company has introduced over 1,400 new ice cream flavors, including Cookie Monster, Icing on the Cake, Pink Bubblegum, and Mom's Makin' Cookies. The Baskin-Robbins menu includes scoops, sundaes, ice cream cakes, pies, smoothies, and shakes.
