Now, Whataburger has managed to take that classic recipe and turn it into the form of a cool and creamy shake that's perfect for summer. The new Whataburger Banana Pudding Shake features a rich vanilla base blended with creamy banana pudding flavor for the ultimate cool down. Alongside the new Banana Pudding Shake, Whataburger has also launched a new Chocolate Chunk Brownie that's topped with decadent chocolate chunks. Both desserts are available now for a limited time.
