Unique Milkshake Will Make You Jump (And Chirp) For Joy

Wayback Burgers Add New High Protein Milkshake Made with Crickets to Its Menu Nationwide Beginning April 1

March 27, 2015 // Franchising.com // CHESHIRE, CT – Wayback Burgers, serving delicious, fresh, never frozen burgers and hand-dipped milkshakes amidst an atmosphere reminiscent of a hometown burger joint, today announced the addition of its newest milkshake flavor: The High Protein Cricket Milkshake. Made with premium vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and high protein cricket powder, The High Protein Cricket Milkshake is masterfully blended to deliver a flavorful milkshake packed with protein and calcium. The High Protein Cricket Milkshake will jump onto the menu at Wayback Burgers locations nationwide beginning April 1 and is available in 22 oz. servings for a suggested retail price of $4.50.

Research shows a growing trend in cricket consumption, as they are nutrient-rich and an excellent source of protein. In fact, a 3.5-ounce serving of crickets contains nearly 50 grams of protein, which is a lot considering it is such a small amount of food. Crickets actually provide double the protein versus a 3.5 ounce piece of beef. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, crickets are a good source of unsaturated fats, small amounts of iron and can possibly lower the risk of heart disease.

“We are excited to announce our most unique milkshake flavor variation yet - The High Protein Cricket Milkshake,” said John Eucalitto, president of Wayback Burgers. “We understand that this milkshake is not for everyone, however, crickets are high in both calcium and protein – and their consumption is a growing trend among fitness enthusiasts. Additionally, we did our research. We tested The High Protein Cricket Milkshakein multiple markets over the past six months – and our guests absolutely loved it. Due to overwhelming demand, we thought it deserved a permanent spot on the Wayback Burgers menu. So we hope our guests will push their limits and try one out – we guarantee that if you didn’t know it was made with crickets, you wouldn’t know it was made with crickets.”
