Menchie’s No Sugar Added Very Vanilla

Fro-yo girl here. I spotted NSA Very Vanilla at Menchie’s for the first time. It’s different from NSA Very Vanilla Bean which is made with sucralose/Splenda. NSA Very Vanilla is sweetened with Stevia + Monkfruit and has no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. I was intrigued since I haven’t seen monkfruit in frozen yogurt before. On the other hand, I haven’t liked any yogurt with Stevia. It has a bitter, unpleasant aftertaste. Personally, I’d rather see less sugar in froyo than sugar alternatives.

* NSA Very Vanilla: The yogurt was creamy and had lots of visible vanilla bean specks. The flavor was certainly sweet, as sweet as a yogurt made with sugar, but it had a weird, bitter, slightly fruity aftertaste. If you can ignore the aftertaste, the flavor is okay.

NSA Very Vanilla isn’t listed on the Menchie’s website. Maybe they’re still testing it?

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
