Fro-yo girl here. Happy National Frozen Yogurt Day (which is officially on February 6), round 1. Menchie’s chose to celebrate NFYD on February 3 this year, which actually makes it easier for me (less froyo to eat on 2/6). This year, Menchie’s is offering a buy one, get one free deal all day on February 3 and double points. I visited Menchie’s El Monte because they had one of the new featured flavors, Berry Ruby Chocolate. I’ll have to look for the other featured flavor, Frosted Cookie, later.
Berry Ruby Chocolate froyo: I’ve been wondering about ruby chocolate for awhile now. Ruby chocolate is a new variety of chocolate that was introduced by Barry Callebaut, the cocoa company, in 2017. The chocolate is naturally pink in color and made with ruby cacao beans. While it’s made without berries, it tastes like a berry flavored white chocolate. As for Menchie’s new Berry Ruby Chocolate froyo, it tastes like raspberries and strawberries muted by white chocolate. They make it with real ruby chocolate. I’m shocked it’s not made with any berries. I liked how it wasn’t as sweet. There was a hint of tang. The texure was smooth and creamy. It’s lowfat, gluten-free, and made with no artificial colors or artificial flavors. Recommended toppings: white chocolate chips, strawberries, raspberries, and Nilla wafers.
It was very busy at Menchie’s today (during NFYD) – a good sign!
More NFYD/IFYD events are occurring this week, mostly on Sunday, February 6. Check IFYA’s post for the most comprehensive list of NFYD/IFYD offers.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
