The Best Mint Flavored Frozen Yogurts in 2021

We ranked different frozen yogurts to help find the best for your taste buds!

By Jennifer Williams | October 7, 2021

There's something about mint chocolate chip ice cream that's particularly difficult to get right. You want it to be minty, but not artificial tasting, like toothpaste. You want there to be a uniform dispersion of chocolate chips, but not so much that it overpowers the ice cream. That's why we tested 16 different mint chocolate chip ice creams from popular brands like Cremily, Haagen Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, Jeni's, Baskin Robbins, and more (including dairy-free options).

 Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

When you picture mint chocolate chip ice cream, I'm willing to bet that this classic flavor from Baskin Robbins is what comes to mind. It's a creamy ice cream with a middle-of-the-road mint flavor and a nice balance of chocolate to ice cream. There are better mint chip ice creams out there, but this one from Baskin Robbins is always going to be a safe choice.

 Jeni's Green Mint Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

If you prefer your mint chip ice cream light on the mint and heavy on the chips, Jeni's has got your back. One taster describes the Green Mint Chip ice cream as, "Light, airy, and refreshing; if mint were a cloud!"

And we know looks aren't everything, but Jeni's Green Mint Chip ice cream has a vibrant green color that's 100 percent natural: "The vibrant green hue is all-natural, too, made with a leaf called spirulina, and juice from whole fruits and vegetables," says Jeni's on their website.

 Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

We did have a few mint chocolate chip haters among the testers (sorry, friends). But their feedback was particularly useful for this superlative: best mint chip ice cream for people who hate mint chip.

Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie ice cream has a barely-there mint flavor and is loaded with generously-sized chocolate sandwich cookie chunks. We found it to be pretty reminiscent of classic cookies and cream ice cream. This is a safe choice if you're on the fence about mint flavor, but still want that light, refreshing taste.

 Halo Top Mint Chip Light Ice Cream

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

Low-calorie ice cream gets a bad rap, but Halo Top performed surprisingly well, and did so with just 330 calories per pint. One tester describes the flavor as, "A more muted mint, but still quite enjoyable — no overpowering elements." We would have liked to see a little more chocolate in this one. And it didn't hold up well over time (i.e. it was ice cream soup after not too long). But considering the calorie count, it's easy to see the appeal of this one.

 NadaMoo! Organic Mint Chip
Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

This was hands down the best of all the non-dairy ice creams we tested. And it wasn't just me who thought so. Several of the testers were dairy-free folks, and they loved the flavor of this one: "Best dairy-free flavor," says one tester who gave this ice cream a five out of five. "Very clean and good balance of flavor." Their mint chip flavor is made with organic coconut milk (and lots of other organic ingredients), so folks with dairy intolerance can have peace of mind.

 Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

Blue Bell is an iconic, recognizable brand, especially here in the South where no kid's birthday party was complete without those single-serve, Blue Bell ice cream cups. But this was my first time trying their mint chocolate chip ice cream, and it didn't disappoint — if you can get past the alarmingly greenish-blue color. It earned high marks across the board, including for flavor, creaminess, and value (10 cents per ounce).

 McConnell's Mint Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

Okay, I know not everyone is willing to shell out a whopping $12 for a pint of ice cream. But, if you're looking to treat yourself to top-shelf, high-quality ice cream, McConnell's makes a dang good mint chip ice cream. This California-based creamery uses grass-fed milk and cream, along with real cane sugar and melted, bittersweet chocolate. And for those with dietary restrictions, it's gluten-free and nut-free.

 Breyers Mint Chocolate Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

Breyers was just edged out by Haagen-Dazs. The peppermint flavor was a little weak, but it got points for not tasting artificial (but still tasting like dessert, and not like a leaf). The chocolate was really high quality, we just wished there was more of it. Like the Haagen-Dazs, Breyers doesn't use any artificial color in their mint chip ice cream. And at just eight cents per ounce, it's a great value.

 Haagen-Dazs Mint Chip

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%

Haagen-Dazs lived up to its reputation for producing high-quality, premium ice creams at a reasonable price (relative to some of the competition). We couldn't say enough about the subtly sweet mint and high-quality, bitter chocolate chips: "Excellent," says one tester. "Everything I'm looking for: creamy, sweet, minty, bitter chocolate chips."

 Cremily Mint French Frozen Yogurt

5.3 OZ SERVING: 80 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 50 mg sodium, 9 g carbs (0 g fiber, 7 g sugar), 12 g protein, Calcium 15%
