Menchie’s Featured Flavors for June: Blood Orange Sorbet and Vegan Mixed Berry Made with Oat Milk

Fro-yo girl here. Plant-based continues to be big news in the froyo world and this month, Menchie’s has two new vegan, plant-based flavors. First, Menchie’s new Vegan Mixed Berry made with Oat Milk is their first flavor made with oat milk. They describe the flavor as featuring “ripe strawberries and juicy blueberries” and it contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup.

The second featured flavor is the new Blood Orange Sorbet is vegan and made with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors and no high fructose corn syrup.

The Menchie’s location that I visited had the two new flavors and new spoons but no official new flavor signs or flavor posters.

Vegan Mixed Berry: This was thicker and creamier than the Blood Orange Sorbet. I could taste the berry flavors but it didn’t taste like a berry froyo made with dairy. The aftertaste was slightly bitter and there was no tang. It was okay but vegans may like the creamy texture. Recommended toppings: Fresh fruit and granola. I could see this flavor being used in a smoothie bowl.

Blood Orange Sorbet: A pretty red orange color, blood orange sorbet had a icy, loose texture that melted quickly. It tasted different than oranges, sweeter and different – more berry like, maybe. It’s hard to describe. It was a bit too sweet for me. Recommended toppings: Fresh fruit, popping boba.

The theme for this month’s flavors is fresh, light, and plant-based.

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