Fro-yo girl here. I’m back from Menchie’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians Season 2 celebration. At 3 PM today, the first 50 guests at Menchie’s across the country received 5 oz of free froyo. Thanks Disney/Hulu and Menchie’s. Season 2 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians premieres today on Disney+ and hulu.
To celebrate the premiere, Menchie’s created a new flavor, Percy Jackson’s No Sugar Added Blue Raspberry froyo. Described as “a sweet blue raspberry fruity flavor with a slight tartness,” NSA Blue Raspberry froyo is made with no artificial flavors or artificial colors. It tasted like sweet blue raspberry candy. While the texture was creamy, it was also slightly gritty. I didn’t like it. Recommended toppings: fresh berries and white chocolate chips.
I also spotted new Percy Jackson & the Olympians cups. The other side of the cup features a holiday scene with Menchie and Chip.
The other featured flavor this month is White Peppermint Bark froyo, made with Hershey’s Premier White Chips. White peppermint bark froyo was first introduced in 2016, but it might not have been made with Hershey’s back then. I liked this creamy flavor better – the white chocolate muted the peppermint, so it wasn’t overwhelming minty. The texture was creamy. Recommended toppings: I didn’t see any peppermint candies, so I recommend adding white chocolate chips, waffle chips, and roasted almonds for crunch.
Menchie’s is also offering a free $5 bonus card with a purchase of $25 or more in Menchie’s gift cards.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
