Plant-based options are growing every day. Meat and dairy alternatives are more realistic than ever, making fantastic substitutes for those who are transitioning away from animal products or whenever someone has a nostalgic craving. From fully vegan brands like Oatly, So Delicious, and NadaMoo, to unexpected traditionally dairy brands like Hagen-Dazs, Magnum, Perrys, and Baskin-Robbins, there are now options for everyone. Clearly, dairy-free products are in high demand! Thats why west coast burger chain, Fatburger, is adding dairy-free milkshakes and vegan cheese to their menus.

The vegan milkshakes have been available at twelve Fatburger locations in Southern California since October 14th. Fatburger told One Green Planet the milkshakes are made with hand-scoopedCraigs Vegan Ice Cream, a local brand, and they come in two flavors: vanilla and strawberry.

Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands told One Green Planet: Our existing vegan items have performed incredibly well with not only vegans, but existing Fatburger customers who are looking to try something new. We have no doubt our new Craigs Vegan Ice Cream milkshake will follow the same trajectory.

This isnt the first time Fatburger adds plant-based options to the menu. They also already offer the Impossible burger patty. And now, customers can have dairy-free cheese with their meatless burger! Starting on November 1st, World Vegan Day, dairy-free cheese slices from Daiya will be available at Fatburger locations as well. The cheese slices can be added to any burger or sandwich purchase.

There was a successful test run for the dairy-free cheese slices in Los Angeles leading to this nationwide launch. Wiederhorn also says: After our successful test run in our hometown, Los Angeles, we are thrilled to offer ourFatburger fans around the US a 100 percent plant-based cheeseburger.

These Coconut Milkshakes and Cookies by Kelly Farrier are a fun and indulgent treat that also nourishes your body with healthy and wholesome ingredients, like oats, coconut, and nuts. The milkshakes are a more natural alternative to the sugary, artificially colored and flavored milkshakes, made with only chilled coconut milk, liquid sweetener, and leftover cookie filling to pair perfectly with each cookie. This is the perfect summer treat to get kids involved in the kitchen or just to treat yourself.
