The flavour gods over at Five Guys have clearly been doing a lot of scrolling on #FoodTok recently, because their latest shake launch is based on one of the biggest food trends of the year so far.
This week Five Guys has launched a brand-new pistachio-flavoured shake, and the limited edition flavour is available in Five Guys restaurants right now.
The new shake is made with the Five Guys classic vanilla shake base blended with rich pistachio to create a drink that's sort of like an Italian gelato-inspired milkshake.
The pistachio shake joins Five Guys' extensive list of existing mix-in flavours, including Oreo, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Biscoff, peanut butter, chocolate, fresh strawberries, fresh banana, salted caramel and bacon.
It's available for dine-in and takeaway in Five Guys restaurants across the country, as well as for delivery on UberEats, Just Eat and Deliveroo.
While the shakes at Five Guys are pretty legendary, it's usually the fries that have everyone talking. If you're a Five Guys connoisseur then you'll know that part of getting a meal from the chain involves enough fries in the bottom of the paper bag to feed a small army.

Back in 2021, a TikTok employee spilled the beans on the mega chip portion on TikTok, and gave us all a money-saving tip in the process.
Maezion Henix (also known as @maezthegreat on TikTok) from Five Guys in Louisiana, USA, said: “Our small fry feeds one to two people, our regular fry feeds two to four people, and our large fry feeds four to six people. So, if I see two people coming in, I'd tell them to get a little fry to help them save some money.”
