The other flavors are the standard 'Vanilla,' 'Chocolate,' and 'Strawberry,' as well as two unique offerings of 'Peanut Butter' and 'Oreo.' Oreo is a noteworthy addition to the dairy-free milkshake collection as Oreo is known for its naturally vegan cookies. The two companies are excited for this partnership as it marks the first large-scale rollout of plant-based milkshakes in the restaurant industry in the United States. Smashburger is trailblazing the industry and bringing vegan offerings into the mainstream market by combining excellent flavors with affordable prices. These six vegan milkshakes are suited for all customers to enjoy, as they do not compromise on flavor despite their vegan ingredients list.
