Is milkshake a countable noun?
Milk shake is not a countable noun.

Example: I will? Really? Answer? Cheese? Hamburg? 、? French? French fries? And then what? Answer? Large size? Chocolate?

Milk? Shake it,? Please. ?

I want a cheeseburger, French fries and a large chocolate milkshake.

Example: making? Answer? Bananas? Milk? Shake it? Demand? Some? Ingredients:? Three? Bananas?

One? cupof? Yogurt? And then what? Some? Honey. ?

Interpretation: Raw materials for making banana milkshake: three bananas, one cup of yogurt and a little honey.

Example: I will? Really? Answer? Baked? Cheese? And then what? Tomato? Open? The whole? Wheat? Anda? Chocolate

Milk? Shake it. ?

Explanation: I'd like a grilled cheese, tomato and chocolate milkshake with bread.

But when it appears alone, it is uncountable and cannot be modified by adding "a" or other quantifiable quantifiers, such as:

Example: finally, pour? That? Milk? Shake it? Are you online? Answer? Glass? And then what? Drink? It ... ?

Interpretation: Finally, put the cheese in the cup and you can drink it.
