Menchie’s Featured Flavors in January

 

Fro-yo girl here. It’s January, and that means that Menchie’s has new featured flavors. First up, the NEW Iced Hazelnut Latte froyo is made with instant coffee. It’s nonfat, gluten-free, kosher and made with no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors ,or artificial flavors. The coffee flavor was strong, but the hazelnut flavor was not. It was also on the icier side. Recommended toppings: chocolate chips, almonds

Cinnamon Roll froyo is made with real cinnamon. The froyo is nonfat, kosher, and made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It’s a returning flavor. This flavor was creamy and rich. I could taste the icing and the cinnamon. I did find it too sweet though. If you get it, I recommend getting vanilla or cake batter with it to cut down on the sweetness. Recommended toppings: Cool Whip, Golden Grahams, and Nilla wafers.

I was excited to see the signs for NATIONAL FROZEN YOGURT DAY. It’s happening on February 6. Menchie’s will offer a buy one, get one free offer. You can also earn double points when you scan the Menchie’s app in-store from February 7 – 13.

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

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 Winter Flavors from Yogurtland: Round Five & Froyo Cookie Sandwiches

Fro-yo girl here. Thanks Yogurtland for keeping the holiday season exciting with new froyo flavors (Vanilla Custard and Cinnamon Roll, in stores for a week, starting today) and a new topping (cream cheese chips, the perfect complement to Cinnamon Roll froyo).

* Vanilla custard: “A fresh holiday take on an old holiday classic. The rich, creamy, vanilla egg custard flavor you love without the guilt.” It’s creamy, smooth and tastes like vanilla soft serve ice cream only with a hint of yogurt flavor. It’s not as creamy as real frozen custard but still very good - and with live and active cultures.

* Cinnamon roll: “The taste of holiday morning. We combined one of the world’s best cinnamons with real cream cheese for the best baked treat ever to be served frozen.” I think many people will really love this flavor. The cream cheese makes it extra rich and creamy and you can see and taste the cinnamon.

The cheesecake chips were new. They look like white chocolate chips and taste like cream cheese icing.

I made my frookies/frozen yogurt cookie sandwiches with the giant Oreo cookie disks. If you want to do the same, here are a few pointers:

1. Swirl the froyo directly onto the cookie, till the froyo is about ½ an inch to 1 inch high
2. Put other cookie disk on top of froyo
3. To add toppings to the side, put toppings in your cup and roll your froyo cookie sandwich into the toppings mixture. You may need to press toppings into the side of the froyo.
4. Freeze till the froyo is firmer, otherwise you won’t be able to bite into it without having froyo come out on the sides

Remember you can earn double points Monday - Wednesday with the Real Rewards program.

Next week more new seasonal froyo flavors arrive: White chocolate peppermint and Raspberry pomegranate tart. You’ll also see a new topping, one that I love, peppermint bark.

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