You can also try this vegan Shakes:

Strawberry Banana Shake (Vegan)

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup almond milk
1 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

this tastes good try it:
Fruity high Protein Shake

Quick Pick me up or Breakfast! The bananas (with skin on) I freeze when they start to ripen and have a lot extra. Just cut skin away when ready to use. The skin will be black but the meat will be fine. I also have berries frozen to make shakes when needed.

1 banana, frozen
4 strawberries, frozen
1/2 cup yogurt
1 cup orange juice
1 scoop protein powder
4 ice cubes

1. Put all ingredients into blender.
2. Blend until smoothie consistency is reached!

also

Carob Shake

Blend together in blender:
filtered water (to top of blades)
1/4-1/2 cup nuts, ground (any kind)
3 heaping Tbsp. carob powder, (raw organic)
4-5 bananas, frozen (break into chunks and add until thick)
vanilla to taste
honey to taste

Good luck!!!!

Answer 3

Probably not... I guarantee that there has to be some animal substance in there (other than the milk, of course), as almost all McDonald's products contain animal products and trans fat (even the salads, which are unhealthier than most burgers there).

Answer 4

Looks vegetarian to me...

Vanilla Triple Thick® Shake:
Vanilla Reduced Fat Ice Cream: Milk, sugar, cream, nonfat milk solids, corn syrup solids, mono- and diglycerides, guar gum, dextrose, sodium citrate, artificial vanilla flavor, sodium phosphate, carrageenan, disodium phosphate, cellulose gum, vitamin A palmitate. CONTAINS: MILK. Vanilla Syrup: Corn syrup, water, natural flavor (plant source), caramel color, citric acid, pectin, sodium benzoate (preservative), yellow 5, yellow 6. May contain small amounts of other shake flavors served at the restaurant, including egg ingredients when Egg Nog Shakes are available.

Answer 5

Glycerin and gelatin seem to be used a lot in those kinds of products. Of course there is vegetable glycerin and gelatin, but you never now for sure unless it specifically says that its from a vegetable source.

Your best bet is to go to the websites of these places...like DQ.com and wendys.com, etc and look for a page that tells you all the ingredients. Then you can look and see what places are good to eat.

Also: http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/OtherInfo/FastFoodRest.htm is website I use a lot to look and see what fast food restaurants have that is ok to eat.

Answer 6

umm barely anything that comes from McDonalds is vegetarian except the fruit salad

Answer 7

i am not sure if they contain animal fat, they most likely do, but you can be pretty sure anything coming from those joints called a "milkshake" contains no trace of anything dairy.

Answer 8

I don't trust mcDonalds, so I get my shakes elsewhere. Jamba juice is great as is orange julius.

Answer 9

I don't know, but I wouldn't eat anything that came from McDonalds.

I don't understand why they would put beef flavoring in their fries.

Answer 10

nope.

why would a vegetarian be stepping through the doors of mc donalds?

or any restaurant?
