The HI-CHEW Grapefruit Frozen Yogurt is Only at Menchie's
Michael Hemsworth — March 3, 2026 — Lifestyle
The HI-CHEW Grapefruit frozen yogurt has been added to the menu at Menchie's as a seasonal flavor that's positioned as perfect for satisfying consumers as we transition from winter to spring. The frozen yogurt flavor boasts a citrus-forward flavor that's inspired by the HI-CHEW Sweet & Sour Mix grapefruit flavor, which is sweet, sour and tangy. This pairs well with the brand's signature frozen yogurt recipe, while also being free from a variety of ingredients including high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and dairy fat.
The HI-CHEW Grapefruit frozen yogurt at Menchie's is available now through the end of March and comes as a strategic partnership for both brands. Morinaga America, manufacturer of HI-CHEW, is able to extend its flavor formats beyond candy, while Menchie's is able to leverage the candy's brand prowess and also test consumer response to a tangier flavor profile.
