Shake Shack’s vegan shakes, ice cream, and veggie burgers launch in all 260 U.S. stores — and the dessert recipes are created by artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is breaking through in the fast food business.
Shake Shack teamed up with NotCo to use its AI-generated dairy-free milk, called NoMilk, to create a new chocolate milkshake and frozen custard.
NoMillk was created by ‘Giuseppe’ – the AI system – which can analyze any food product at the molecular level and then replicate it using only plant-based options.
The New York burger joint is also releasing a veggie burger Friday at all 260 locations to complement its newly available plant-based desserts.

The plant-based boom has taken over the US and many fast food companies are taking full advantage of it.
Burger King offers an Impossible Whopper, White Castle has Impossible sliders and Chipolte offers the option of a Sofritas Bowl.
And now Shake Shack has joined the movement.
The company is launching the three items in all US locations.
It previously released the plant-based burger in select spots and always offered the Shroom burger – a breaded portabella mushroom.
The new Veggie Shack has been in development for the past five years, the paper reports VegNews.
This meatless burger is made with mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, farro, and quinoa and comes topped with American cheese, crispy onions, pickles, and ShackSauce.
Jay Livingston, chief marketing officer at Shake Shack, said in a statement: ‘Since we started Shake Shack in 2004, our mission has been to serve elevated versions of the classics that not only taste great, but are made with premium ingredients. .’

While adding a plant-based burger can appease many diners, AI-generated milk is the star of the menu.
Shake Shack teamed up with NotCo in 2022 to embark on a journey with Giuseppe, which is designed to seek plant-based equivalents for products to create a more realistic taste and texture.
Giuseppe analyzes animal products at the molecular level and pulls from a database of more than 300,000 edible plants to replicate animal-free inputs.
NotCo said the first NoMilk was actually green because the original recipe called for dill – but they’ve since perfected the mixture.
“We’re also excited about our new non-dairy products — the Non-Dairy Chocolate Shake and Non-Dairy Chocolate Frozen Custard — are made with plant-based milk from food tech leader NotCo,” said Livingston.
Shake Shack reported earnings and earnings on Thursday, which showed earnings were upbeat at $253.3 million.
That’s a 24.53 percent increase in revenue from a year ago report and is 3.10 percent higher than consensus estimates of $245.7 million.
