Leafy Green-Infused Burgers

The New Veggie Shack Features a Veggie Patty Made with Real Greens

— November 22, 2020 — Lifestyle
While many fast food brands have teamed up with Impossible Foods or Beyond Meat to create vegan burger patties, Shake Shack has developed its own patty to use in its new Veggie Shack burger.

The new Veggie Shack burger is the latest Shack Shack menu innovation, however, it's only available for a limited time at select Shake Shack locations in California, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey, Texas, and Ohio. The new burger is a unique offering made with a veggie patty that contains a blend of real leafy greens, grains, and herbs. The veggie patty is then topped with avocado, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and tangy mayo, all served on a wheat bun. While the mayo means this dish isn't quite vegan-friendly, it's still a great option for anyone looking for a meat-free burger.
