Menchie’s September’s Featured Flavors & Raising Funds for the Fight Against Childhood Cancer

 

Fro-yo girl here. Happy September! Menchie’s has two featured flavors this month, Gourmet Peanut Butter Gelato and Chocolate Dipped Banana froyo made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. They’ve also partnered with St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and will collect donations for St. Jude’s in Menchie’s stores this September.

Chocolate Dipped Banana froyo is a returning flavor that was first introduced in January 2021. The flavor is lowfat, gluten-free, and made without artificial colors, artificial flavors, or high fructose corn syrup. I hate bananas, so I haven’t tried the flavor.

Gourmet Peanut Butter Gelato is a NEW flavor that’s “as rich and creamy as your favorite peanut butter and as decadent as gelato.” It’s gluten-free and is made with no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors, and no artificial flavors. It does contain real peanut butter and live and active cultures. It seemed thicker, creamier, and smoother than peanut butter froyo. The peanut butter flavor was strong and sweet in a yummy way. Recommended toppings: Butterfinger, Reese’s Pieces, Peanut M&Ms, chopped peanuts.

Menchie’s featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

At the register I was asked whether I wanted to donate to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. There were also signs throughout the store about the fundraiser.

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

Menchie’s New Featured Flavors, Vegan Salted Caramel Made with Almond Milk and Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana Made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has announced the first new flavors of 2021. There are two: Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk and Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana froyo made with Hershey’s Milk Chocolate.

I had to wait a few days in order to find the flavors in my area and I finally found them at Menchie’s Mission Hills (Los Angeles). Bananas are my least favorite food ever, so I’d much rather try Vegan Salted Caramel. Since most Menchie’s don’t seem to offer samples now (for safety reasons), I probably can’t try a tiny bit of Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Banana. I may not try it at all. I hate bananas so much that I couldn’t possibly like any banana flavored froyo or offer an objective opinion.

Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk: The texture seemed off – too loose, icy and not frozen enough. The caramel flavor was super strong – too strong for me. It seemed very sweet and very salty, like butterscotch with salt. Recommended toppings: Something to mellow out the strong flavor – Cool Whip, almonds. I would not add candy. I think it would be better with some vanilla froyo. 

Vegan Salted Caramel made with almond milk is dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors, artificial flavors or high fructose corn syrup. 

Be sure to use Menchie’s flavor finder (website, app) if you’d like to find the new flavors.

FYI, Menchie’s Burbank is now temporarily closed. It’s a good location, so I hope it reopens soon.

Menchie’s featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.
