Fro-yo girl here. Barranco’s Fruit (IG @barrancosfruit) is a new vendor at Smorgasburg LA. The sign says it’s LA’s first Oaxacan-inspired yogurt pop-up. They make the yogurt from a family recipe and then add fruit and nuts to create a yogurt parfait. The yogurt tubs are $6 each and contain fruit and/or nuts and wheat. The yogurt is made with pasteurized whole milk, I believe. They only use natural ingredients.
Available flavors: pineapple coconut, blueberry strawberry, pecan, mixed, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, pecan-almond, apple, peach.
Strawberry yogurt: The yogurt with diced fresh strawberries was thick and creamy, though not as thick as skyr. I’m not sure if it is strained. I appreciated that the yogurt wasn’t sweetened. It’s naturally sweet. The strawberries weren’t sweet.
The yogurt comes with a cup of honey and a cup of crunchy toppings (pecans, puffed amaranth, puffed wheat). You can sweeten it to your liking. It's more yogurt-forward than bionico.
The yogurt parfait was a nice treat. It’s something that I could easily replicate at home though. They do make the yogurt, so that’s a plus.
Barranco’s Fruit has pop-ups at farmers markets, Smorgasburg, night markets, and swap meets.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
