What does the new Triple Berry Frosty taste like?

Imagine a mix of rich vanilla cream and tangy-sweet summer berries. The triple berry frosty blends strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries into a chilled, creamy base. It’s smooth, slightly tart, and way more refreshing than your average milkshake — a fruity twist that still feels indulgent.

What are the ingredients in Wendy's Triple Berry Frosty?

Wendy’s version includes a blend of dairy, sugar, and natural flavors — but the stars are the real fruit purees. According to their nutritional info, it features strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry components blended with the Frosty base. When you make it at home, you control every ingredient — no mystery syrups, just fresh or frozen fruit, real vanilla ice cream, and a splash of milk. Curious about more fruit-forward ideas?

Does Wendy's Triple Berry Frosty taste like the Grimace Shake?

Not quite. The Grimace Shake was more about novelty and nostalgia, with a heavy artificial berry flavor. Wendy’s triple berry frosty , by contrast, feels fresher, lighter, and less sweet — more of a smoothie-meets-Frosty vibe than a gimmick.

How long is the $1 Frosty deal?

Wendy’s often runs $1 Frosty promos during the summer, but availability varies by location. Typically, it’s a limited-time offer during warm months — so keep an eye on your local Wendy’s app or social feed for updates. Or, skip the wait and make your own anytime! Planning a summer party? Pair this homemade version with our 4th of July Trifle for a truly festive dessert table.

Is Wendy's Frosty unhealthy?

It’s definitely a treat, not a health food. A small triple berry frosty clocks in around 320 calories with 8 grams of fat and about 45g of sugar. Making your own gives you the option to lighten it up — use frozen yogurt, swap in non-dairy milk, or skip added sugar entirely. Plus, you can sneak in extra fruit or fiber without sacrificing taste.
