Menchie’s New Flavors: Classic Cookie and Toasted Coconut Crunch

Fro-yo girl here. Menchie’s has partnered with Mrs. Thinsters Cookie Thins for this month’s featured flavors. The two new flavors, both made with Mrs. Thinsters Cookie Thins, are:

* Toasted Coconut Crunch: This is a lowfat flavor. The texture was creamy and smooth but it tasted like coconut with a hint of cookies. I think coconut fans will really like this flavor. The cookies do make it taste a little different than a plain coconut flavor. Recommended toppings: Coconut, almonds, Nilla wafers

* Classic Cookie: Classic cookie is a sugar cookie. I was surprised by this flavor. It tasted like a butter caramel with a hint of cookie flavor. It was super sweet or maybe just too caramelly for me? Recommended toppings: Almonds, Nilla wafers, bananas.

Both flavors contain no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup and no partially hydrogenated oils. I didn’t spot any Mrs. Thinsters cookies in the toppings bar.

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

Menchie’s Toasted Coconut Crunch Test Flavor, Fruit Purees

Fro-yo girl here. While I was at Menchie’s University in Encino, CA, I noticed a new test flavor called Toasted Coconut Crunch. It’s made with Mrs. Thinster’s Cookie Thins (the Toasted Coconut Cookie Thins) and has no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup and no partially hydrogenated oils.

* Toasted Coconut Crunch froyo: The texture was creamy and smooth but it tasted like coconut without cookies. I do love cookie froyo flavors, though I’m not a big fan of coconut froyo. So, this flavor was okay for me but a pass because the cookie flavor isn’t noticeable.

I also noticed chilled fruit purees in squeeze bottles in blueberry, strawberry, and passionfruit. I don’t think that I’ve seen these at other Menchie’s locations, so maybe fruit purees will be carried soon at more locations. Yogurtland added fruit purees in June 2016.

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