Dairy Queen Blizzards Are About To Be 85 Cents

Author Jeff Gorra
August 29th 5:40 PM

Imagine getting your favorite ice cream flavor blended with your favorite topping for less than one dollar. That’s not a bad way transition into the start of fall. Dairy Queen is making it a reality announcing they will be selling their Blizzards for 85 cents for a limited time.

This promotion will start on Monday, September 11. It then lasts for almost two weeks (ending on Sunday September 24), where you can score a small Blizzard for 85 cents. But, why 85 cents you may ask? Well, the blizzard was invented in 1985.

Here’s What You Need To Know

Those interested in scoring this sweet deal must download the Dairy Queen app to get it. You then have to become a DQ rewards member. It could take up to 24 hours for the offer to show in your app.

What type of Blizzard you indulge is up to you. However, you may be interested in the new fall menu Diary Queen unveiled yesterday.

“Fall’s triumphant return ushers in an exciting rotation of seasonal BLIZZARD® Treats, including two major Fan favorites: Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough and classic Pumpkin Pie!” Dairy Queen stated. In addition, Oreo, Caramel Fudge, Hot Cocoa, Cheesecake, Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie are on the fall menu as well. Lastly, there’s also a new Royal Reese’s Fluffernutter option.

“Get ready to celebrate the season and make this a flavor-filled fall to remember,” Dairy Queen said.

Limited Time, Signature, Candy Classics, and Royal

The Blizzard menu is broken into four categories. Signature is where you will find the traditional flavors such as chocolate chip cookie. Candy classics include the likes of Butterfinger, and Snickers. Royal has an additional sweet core filling. Obviously, limited time references the aforementioned specials that were announced for fall.

Regardless of your favorite flavor, the end of summer just got a little sweeter with Dairy Queen announcing Blizzards will be sold for 85 cents for two weeks in September.

4 Fast-Food Restaurants Flavorful Plant-Based Picks

The once-challenging quest for vegan options at fast-food restaurants has gotten a lot easier in recent years. Gone are the days of painstakingly customizing orders to suit specific dietary needs. Or worse, just having French fries and lettuce. Fast-food chains have taken significant strides in recent years, expanding their menus to offer an array of plant-based choices.

Plenty of fast-food chains have recognized the shifting dietary preferences of their customers and have embraced the challenge of providing satisfying vegan options. The evolution of vegan choices at these establishments has been impressive. From the golden arches of well-known burger joints to the cozy corners of popular sandwich shops, the vegan revolution has made its mark.

Plant-based and vegan fast-food options

Vegans no longer have to rely solely on customizing existing meals to meet their dietary requirements. Instead, they can revel in the sheer variety that now graces the menus of fast-food chains. These establishments now proudly feature vegan burgers that sizzle and satisfy, dairy-free milkshakes, and even plant-based twists on classic comfort foods.

With an increasing number of people embracing plant-based lifestyles and seeking sustainable dining choices, the fast-food industry has risen to the occasion. These establishments understand that providing diverse options isn’t just about following a trend but about fostering inclusivity and catering to many people with specific tastes and needs. So, the next time you’re in a hurry and hunger strikes, rest assured that the vegan options at fast-food restaurants are not only abundant but also thoughtfully crafted to satisfy your cravings and nourish your values.

Whether you’re on a diet, dairy-free, vegetarian, or simply vegan there are fast-food places for you to grab a quick bite. Check out these fast-food vegan restaurant menu items. If you’re a very strict vegan, you might consider checking with the establishment regarding any potential cross-contamination with meat products when placing your order.

  • Taco Bell

    According to Taco Bell, most of their products are vegan. They say to order any item “fresco style”, which replaces mayo-based sauces, cheeses, and reduced-fat sour cream with freshly prepared diced tomatoes. Then, substitute the protein with black beans, refried beans, or potato bites. In June, the chain announced that they’re testing a new Vegan Crunchwrap which is meatless and dairy-free. If all goes well, you can soon see that on menus too.

  • Dunkin’

    For a restaurant known for its coffee, you may be surprised by the vegan options. Dunkin offers more than 20 vegan menu items, according to their site. Dunkin’ features avocado toast and a selection of non-dairy milk alternatives such as oat, almond, and coconut milk to accompany your coffee. In addition to avocado toast, vegans can enjoy other choices like avocado and roasted tomato toast, a bacon avocado tomato sandwich minus the bacon, various bagels including plain, cinnamon raisin, everything, and sesame without cream cheese, an English muffin, and hash browns.

  • Chipotle

    For those seeking plant-based options, Chipotle has consistently offered a reliable meal comprising rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and guacamole. The year 2013 saw a transformative addition to Chipotle’s menu with the introduction of vegan sofritas. This was a game-changing choice; it features flavorful spicy braised tofu. As confirmed by the restaurant chain, their sofritas option has been given the seal of approval for both vegans and vegetarians alike.

  • Burger King

    Burger King offers the Impossible Burger patty, which is widely available across their fast-food outlets nationwide. The Impossible Whopper, just like the classic version, features an Impossible patty crafted from plant-based ingredients. Both Burger King and Impossible Foods representatives informed INSIDER that, upon request, the Impossible Whopper can be prepared separately to ensure it is not cooked on the same surface used for meat products. Additionally, Burger King has begun testing Impossible chicken nuggets.
