New Flavors from Menchie’s and Yogurtland (Happy National Oreo Day)

Fro-yo girl here. Have you noticed how popular Oreo flavors have become at froyo shops lately? Yogurtland introduced Oreo Cookies & Crème ice cream in January 2018. Menchie’s introduced Mookie’s Cookies ‘n’ Cream made with Golden Oreos in December 2017. Back in 2014, Menchie’s separated the Oreo into two flavors, Just the Cookie and Just the Creme.

Other frozen yogurt shops have also developed flavors featuring Oreos, including Red Mango, TCBY, Yogurtys, and Yogen Fruz.

The Oreo flavors keep coming. This March, both Yogurtland and Menchie’s have new Oreo flavors.

Menchie’s is featuring two Oreo flavors in March:

• Chocolate Mint Cookie made with Oreo cookie pieces: This is a lowfat froyo that’s kosher and contains no partially hydrogenated oils. I like chocolate mint a lot and I like Oreos, so I liked the flavor, though the texture was a bit icy at the location that I visited. The mint flavor is definitely noticeable and so is the chocolate. It’s pretty sweet. Recommended toppings: Andes Mints, almonds, Oreos, chocolate shell 
• Chocolate ‘n’ Strawberry Cookie made with Oreo cookie pieces: This froyo is also lowfat, kosher and free of partially hydrogenated oils. The color of this froyo was even darker than the Chocolate Mint Cookie. The strawberry was the first flavor that I tasted, only it didn’t taste natural. The cookies give the texture a grainer feel. The aftertaste wasn’t clean. Recommended toppings: Hershey’s Kisses, mochi, chocolate covered strawberries 

Menchie’s also has signs and limited edition froyo cups for the upcoming movie, Sherlock Gnomes.

Yogurtland’s new ice cream flavors were scheduled to be released on March 5. They are: Mint Oreo Cookies & Crème, Strawberries & Cream.

• Mint Oreo Cookies & Crème ice cream: The color was much lighter than Menchie’s Chocolate Mint Cookie and the texture was thicker and creamier. I thought the cookie flavor was stronger in the Menchie’s Chocolate Mint Cookie flavor but I preferred the subtler, richer, and higher fat Yogurtland version. Recommended toppings: Chocolate chips, whipped cream, Oreos, almonds. 
• Strawberries & Cream ice cream: The strawberry flavor tasted more natural than Menchie’s Chocolate ‘n’ Strawberry Cookie flavor. I thought it was a mild, pleasant flavor. Recommended toppings: Whipped cream, strawberries, Circus Animal cookies, sprinkles, NEW strawberry rolled wafer cookies.

Nabisco Oreos were the best-selling cookie brand in 2017, followed by Nabisco Chips Ahoy. National Oreo Day is celebrated on March 6. The Oreo trademark forms were filed on March 6, 1912. Happy National Oreo Day!

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