New Flavors at Menchie’s, Double Smiles Day is January 16

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s January's promotions include two new flavors and a Double Smiles Day when you scan the Menchie’s app on January 16. I also spotted a few signs for National Frozen Yogurt Day. Menchie’s will celebrate NFYD on February 6 with an all-day Buy One, Get One free froyo offer.

Back to the new flavors, I’ve only found one so far, Cinnamon Roll froyo. Cinnamon Roll froyo is called a new flavor. Menchie’s has had similar flavors in the past, including Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll in 2014 and Cinnamon Bun froyo made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese in 2020. Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll had a stronger cinnamon flavor than Cinnamon Bun froyo. As for the new Cinnamon Roll froyo, it had a strong cinnamon flavor. I thought I could even taste icing. It was a bit too strong and sweet for me, plus the texture was a bit icy (the texture could be creamier at other Menchie’s locations). Recommended toppings: almonds, walnuts, granola.

Cinnamon Roll froyo is nonfat and made with no artificial flavors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup.

Vegan rocky road made with almond milk is also a new flavor. It’s gluten-free, lowfat, dairy-free, and made with no artificial flavors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. I’ll report back once I try the new Vegan Rocky Road flavor.

Update: Tried vegan rocky road flavor. It tasted like fudgsicle with a hint of almonds. I could not taste the marshmallow. It was fine, but I’m not a fan of rocky road the flavor. Recommended toppings: marshmallows, chopped almonds, Special Dark chocolate chips.

Double Smiles Day is Tuesday, January 16. To earn double smiles, be sure to scan your Menchie’s app. If you haven’t downloaded the app, do it soon. You’ll need to register for an account to start earning smiles (and free froyo).

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

New June Flavors at Menchie’s, New Cup, and Double Smiles

 

Fro-yo girl here. This June, Menchie’s is featuring two flavors, Vegan Cake Batter and Ruby Gillman’s Vegan Blue Raspberry Sorbet.

Vegan Cake Batter soft serve is made with almond milk and contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It’s lowfat and made with real cake mix. I had a chance to try it in December 2022 when it was a test flavor at Menchie’s Encino. I’m not a fan of the cake batter flavor in general. Vegan cake batter soft serve didn’t taste like cake batter but reminded me of egg nog and butterscotch. Not a fan. Recommended toppings: Whipped cream, Nilla Wafers, chopped almonds.

Ruby Gillman’s Vegan Blue Raspberry sorbet is named after the character in an upcoming Dreamworks movie called Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken. Ruby looks a bit like one of the Trolls in another Dreamworks movie. Menchie’s has had Blue Raspberry sorbet a couple of times. It tasted good – like blue raspberry ICEEs or a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher candy. The flavor is nonfat and gluten-free. Recommended toppings: Sour Patch Kids and Nerds,

There’s a new cup design featuring the Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken movie. The cup is blue and depicts four Kraken characters. The movie comes out on June 30th.

There are two Double Smiles Days this month. Scan the Menchie’s app on June 13 & 14 to earn double smiles.

P.S. The new Menchie’s Mellow spoons didn’t last long.
