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.

The featured flavors are NEW Vegan Cherry Rocket Pop Sorbet and a returning favorite, Chocolate Cake Batter froyo made with Hershey’s Chocolate.
Vegan Cherry Rocket Pop Sorbet is made with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. The cherry flavor is the strongest but there are other flavor notes as well. Raspberry or lime? There was nothing remotely tart or tangy about the sweet flavor but it did remind me of a popsicle. Recommended toppings: Sour Patch Kids, popping boba, and strawberries.
The limited edition birthday cup is blue and features Menchie holding a birthday cake, Sprinkle, Chip, and Mookie. And there’s a new spoon though I haven’t found it yet.

Fro-yo girl here. I went to a different Menchie’s location and found Gourmet Pistachio Gelato with live and active cultures. It was worth seeking out.
Gourmet Pistachio Gelato: Menchie’s describes Gourmet Pistachio Gelato as “rich and silky smooth with just a hint of salt! And because it’s made with real pistachios, no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high-fructose corn syrup, this is a treat you can feel good about!” It was rich, smooth, and extra creamy. The pistachio flavor wasn’t strong but it was mild in a pleasant way. It’s so good with a sprinkle of something crunchy. Recommended toppings: Heath, almonds.
Gourmet Pistachio Gelato is available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Fro-yo girl here. I was lucky enough to spot the new July flavor at Menchie’s before July (this rarely happens). The new flavor, Vegan Pineapple Coconut Milk Smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, all-natural (contains no artificial colors or flavors), and made with no high fructose corn syrup.
Vegan Pineapple Coconut Milk Smoothie: I noticed the pineapple flavor first, followed by the coconut flavor. Both flavors are noticeably strong. The texture was a bit icy. It tasted fine but I think too sweet. Pineapple flavors should be tangy but Vegan Pineapple Coconut Milk Smoothie had no tang. Recommended toppings: Coconut, popping boba, mochi.
Menchie's is also featuring Birthday Cake Oreo Cookie froyo this month. The flavor was first introduced last July. It's being featured this month in honor of Menchie's 15th anniversary.
The featured flavors are available for a limited time, while supplies last.

Peppermint Bark froyo made with OREO Cookie Pieces: According to Menchie’s, “if you like holiday cookies, you’ll love our new peppermint bark made with OREO cookies lfavor. Our brand new Peppermint Bark made with Oreo Cookies froyo flavor is as tasty as your favorite cookie! Add Oreo cookie pieces on top for an extra chocolate-y taste!” Who doesn’t like holiday cookies? And I love peppermint bark. The new flavor is a hit: the texture was smooth and creamy. The peppermint makes it refreshing. I think the chocolate flavor is stronger than the mint but I definitely tasted the mint. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, almonds, OREOs, and mini M&Ms. I definitely wanted something crunchy to go with the froyo.
Menchie’s El Monte is allowing sampling again, yay! These featured flavors are in stores for a limited time only. Also, the holiday gift card promotion is back: get a $5 bonus card when you buy $25 in Menchie’s gift cards.
