Menchie’s is the world’s largest self-serve frozen yogurt franchise, with 500 locations worldwide, and they’ve slowly been entering the dairy-free flavor market. For some time, they’ve had a big range of sorbets (noted as dairy-free on their website), with offerings like indulgent Fudgy Chocolate, virtuous Carrot Orange Boost, and refreshing Pink Lemonade.
But in 2016, they decided to tackle creamy vegan frozen yogurt. Their first flavor was a limited time only option, made with Indonesian coconut milk, Tahitian vanilla, and organic agave syrup. But rumor has it that the demand was through the roof – the flavor is quickly selling out and according to corporate, “Menchie’s is making it a point in 2016 to offer new flavors with dairy alternatives, like coconut and almond milk, to reach out to guests who might not be able to enjoy the typical dairy options.”
They don’t list the creamy options on their website, but according to Facebook Fan Olivia in 2018, their dairy-free flavors are alive and well:
I took my kids to Menchie’s (frozen yogurt and sorbets) this week for the first time, and I was blown away at all the dairy free options. So delicious and easy to identify which were safe. Loved it!!
And another Facebook member posted a photo of their Chocolate Almond Milk yogurt in late 2018.
As for dairy-free toppings, Menchie’s offers tons of fresh fruit, nuts, Oreos, gummies, graham crackers and more.
