New June Flavors at Menchie’s, New Cup, and Double Smiles

 





Fro-yo girl here. This June, Menchie’s is featuring two flavors, Vegan Cake Batter and Ruby Gillman’s Vegan Blue Raspberry Sorbet.

Vegan Cake Batter soft serve is made with almond milk and contains no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. It’s lowfat and made with real cake mix. I had a chance to try it in December 2022 when it was a test flavor at Menchie’s Encino. I’m not a fan of the cake batter flavor in general. Vegan cake batter soft serve didn’t taste like cake batter but reminded me of egg nog and butterscotch. Not a fan. Recommended toppings: Whipped cream, Nilla Wafers, chopped almonds.

Ruby Gillman’s Vegan Blue Raspberry sorbet is named after the character in an upcoming Dreamworks movie called Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken. Ruby looks a bit like one of the Trolls in another Dreamworks movie. Menchie’s has had Blue Raspberry sorbet a couple of times. It tasted good – like blue raspberry ICEEs or a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher candy. The flavor is nonfat and gluten-free. Recommended toppings: Sour Patch Kids and Nerds,

There’s a new cup design featuring the Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken movie. The cup is blue and depicts four Kraken characters. The movie comes out on June 30th.

There are two Double Smiles Days this month. Scan the Menchie’s app on June 13 & 14 to earn double smiles.

P.S. The new Menchie’s Mellow spoons didn’t last long.

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