The new lineup of drinks is perfect for a hot summer’s day.
McDonald’s is continually tantalising tastebuds in Japan with a never-ending array of exclusive limited-time menu items, and what they have in store for us this season is so good-looking it has us looking forward to the sweltering heat of a Japanese summer’s day.
The new range of yoghurt smoothies and yoghurt drinks on offer come in two beautiful shades and flavours. The Strawberry Yoghurt Smoothie combines a slightly sweet strawberry sauce with a tart yoghurt, and tops it off with whipped cream, fruit granola, and a fresh, pulp-filled strawberry topping.
The Green Apple Yoghurt Smoothie blends green apple syrup with yoghurt to create a rich, full-bodied drink that’s crisp and refreshing. The crunchy granola topping can either be enjoyed on its own or blended through the drink for a more textured finish.
▼ Both smoothies are available in a medium size for 460 yen (US$4.15) or a large size for 500 yen.
The same ingredients have also been incorporated into lighter-bodied beverages, including the Strawberry Yoghurt Drink…
▼ And the Green Apple Yoghurt Drink.
Both yoghurt drinks come in a medium size for 390 yen or a large size for 430 yen. The new range of limited-edition beverages will be available at McDonald’s outlets across Japan from 31 May until the beginning of July, so grab one while you can as the weather heats up!
