Menchie’s Vegan Frozen Yogurts
Creamy, sweet, and tangy, frozen yogurt tastes much like ice cream, but it’s healthier. At Menchie’s, they also make some of their frozen yogurt varieties with non-dairy yogurt for those following a plant-based diet or avoiding dairy for any other reason.

Is There Anything Else Vegan at Menchie’s?
Menchie’s also offers acai bowls at some locations. These are made with granola, fruits, and frozen yogurt. There are only three varieties on the menu, and none of them are vegan.
However, as per Menchie’s website, you can have these acai super-bowls customized with your choice of ingredients.
So, if you’re in the mood for it, get yourself a custom-made vegan acai bowl at Menchie’s with plant-based frozen yogurt or sorbet as the base and your choice of plant-based toppings from the list given above. You have to skip granola, though, as it’s not vegan.
Menchie’s also offers fro-yo cakes, and while their website says those can be customized just how you want, I came across a third-party source that said Menchie’s cakes could not be made vegan (I don’t see why when they have vegan frozen yogurts and toppings).
If you feel like ordering a vegan frozen yogurt cake for your next birthday or that of a loved one, I recommend asking (or requesting) at your local Menchie’s. They may do it for you even if they don’t usually do it. There’s no harm in trying.
Conclusion – Is Menchie’s Vegan-Friendly?
Menchie’s lies somewhere in the middle of the vegan-non-vegan spectrum. It doesn’t have too many vegan frozen yogurt options, but it at least has some. Moreover, all their sorbets are vegan. They also have quite a few vegan-friendly toppings, though most of them are fruits.
Having said that, Menchie’s is a good place for vegans to satisfy their fro-yo cravings, as dairy-free frozen yogurts aren’t that easy to find.
Menchie’s frozen yogurts and most sorbets are also free of artificial colors and flavors, making it a great option for health-conscious people as well.
