Fro-yo girl here. Mr. Froyo and I went to the Vegan Street Fair in North Hollywood, CA this past weekend for one reason, to try the new froyo flavor, Thai Iced Tea, from Yoga-urt. I wasn’t feeling well, so we only went to Yoga-urt. The festival looked as crowded as ever and Yoga-urt had a long line. A single scoop was $4, 2 scoops $7, and 3 scoops $9. Mr. Froyo had Tantric Tart while I had Thai Iced Tea.
I’ve often wondered which spices go into Thai Iced Tea and what makes it so orange. When I get it at Thai places, it’s usually super sweet and creamy. Did you know that the orange color often comes from food coloring?
I’m sure Yoga-urt didn’t use food coloring, so their Thai Iced Tea froyo wasn’t bright orange. I could see various spices in the scoop but I’m not sure what they were. Mr. Froyo said he tasted cardamom for sure. I thought I tasted cinnamon and vanilla but definitely something else. Tamarind? Not sure, but I was intrigued. Also, I appreciate that the flavor wasn’t as super sweet as actual Thai iced tea.
Thai Iced Tea wasn’t available at the Glendale shop and I didn’t want to wait a whole month to try it.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Fro-yo girl here. This year marks the fourth annual Vegan Street Fair in Los Angeles. It happens once a year in Los Angeles and New York. Admission is free. There were separate lines for VIP pass holders and the general public and you needed to buy tickets first for some but not all items. As first time visitors, we found that part confusing. Samples were free and didn’t require tickets though. I spotted two tofu makers, vegan jerky, lots of food stalls, food trucks, clothing, soap, etc. It was crowded, very crowded. I noticed vendors from other parts of the country, though most were SoCal based.
Every food vendor offers a $4 or less bite-size portion and larger portions. This year the fair took place on March 25 in North Hollywood from 11 AM - 7 PM.
This was my first time at Vegan Street Fair I’m not vegan because most froyo isn’t vegan…but there is an important exception. Mr. Froyo and I love Glendale’s Yoga-urt, which is handcrafted, vegan, organic, soy-free, kosher, gluten-free, probiotic, plant-based soft serve. It’s made with love and the soft serve is amazing. Yoga-urt had a booth at VSF for the third time. This year they brought swirled scoops (two flavors in one scoop), Blue Warrior as the feature flavor (popcorn and peanuts), other flavors, toppings, and ice cream sandwiches. One scoop was $4.
