Plant Power Fast Food has introduced the Hippie Patty in time for World Vegan Day on Nov. 1. The patty is comprised of black beans, poblano peppers, chipotle peppers, roasted cashews, fresh garlic and onions, according to a press release.

The California-based brand is also introducing sweet potato fries to its menu.

"In my school days, black bean patties were my lifeline and epitomized veganism for many of us as they represented a delicious and savory alternative to the high-fat and cholesterol beef burgers," Zach Vouga, founder of Plant Power Fast Food, said in the release. "The Hippie Patty is our love letter to those early vegan days. it's a reminder that sometimes, the simplest foods like vegetables, legumes, nuts and herbs pack the most powerful punch."

Plant Power Fast Food was founded in 2016. The brand is a privately-held company headquartered in San Diego, California.
