Yoga-urt’s New Flavor, Raspberry Romance


Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt introduced a flavor inspired by Valentine’s Day on Valentine’s Day. Raspberry Romance froyo tastes just like fresh raspberries but the texture and flavor are better than sorbet and gelato because it’s thick and creamy. The soft serve is also very tangy and seems less sweet than usual. So good. And the color of the soft serve is so pretty. It’s swirling at all Yoga-urt locations and available via Uber Eats as well.

The soft serve has live and active cultures, and it’s organic.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Salt & Straw Vegan Flavor, Blood Orange Froyo Creamsicle





Fro-yo girl here. Salt & Straw is kicking off 2026 with The Vegandulgence Series, five limited edition vegan flavors. And yes, I’m writing about it because there is a new froyo flavor, Blood Orange Froyo Creamsicle. Salt & Straw describes the flavor as ‘’Tart and silky blood orange olive oil sorbet swirled together with creamy Cocojune coconut frozen yogurt.”

Blood Orange Froyo Creamsicle: The texture was firm and icy, with some icier bits, and the flavor was tangysweet. It wasn’t smooth and silky. The flavor was pleasing, but it tasted like and had the texture of orange coconut sorbet. The olive oil made it slightly savory. I definitely wanted a punchier orange flavor. I expected it to be creamier and more froyo-like. There have been better Salt & Straw froyo flavors.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Flavor at Yoga-urt, Masala Chai

 


Fro-yo girl here. I’m so in love with the newest Yoga-urt flavor, Masala Chai, developed in collaboration with Roma B, a plant-based recipe developer. The flavor is inspired by her family’s masala chai recipe. The masala blend is made with nine organic spices added to black tea and Yoga-urt’s plant-based, organic cashew and almond base. The spices are fresh and blended by Roma herself.

I’ve always loved masala chai, so this flavor truly excites me. The black pepper adds a bit of a kick. With so many spices, the flavor is complex. None of the spices is too strong or overwhelming. There’s ginger, cardamom, saffron, and more. The texture is super thick and creamy, and it has a clean finish.

You can find Masala Chai at all Yoga-urt locations (Granada Hills, Santa Monica, Echo Park, Glendale) from now until December 15. Buy some pints for home consumption too.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Yoga-urt Flavor: Earl Grey

 



Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt debuted a new flavor, Earl Grey, in Santa Monica during the fourth anniversary celebration on October 25. It’s made with organic Earl Grey tea and a touch of vanilla. Like all Yoga-urt soft serve, it’s hand-crafted, organic, vegan, kosher, soy-free, and probiotic.

I’ve always loved Earl Grey tea and tea-flavored froyo. The froyo definitely had a strong floral Earl Grey flavor. It was sweet and clean-tasting. For some reason the texture wasn’t as thick as usual, and it seemed icier than other Yoga-urt flavors. Maybe it was because of the machine?

I would definitely want to try it again to see if the texture changes.

Recommended toppings: housemade cake, mochi

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt Granada Hills Celebrates First Anniversary





Fro-yo girl here. I’m back from the Yoga-urt Granada Hills first anniversary celebration today, August 3, with the details.

The brand new flavor is…Pineapple Paradise. It’s plant-based, all-natural, and made with Yoga-urt’s proprietary almond and cashew milk base. The nut milk mellows the pineapple flavor so that it’s not as sweet as you’d expect. The texture was super thick and creamy, creamier than Dole Whip and other pineapple soft serve.

The anniversary sundae is the Pina Colada Sundae, featuring a swirl of Pineapple Paradise and Coconut Macaroon, coconut shavings, and homemade strawberry sauce.

You could also enter a raffle to win a $100 Yoga-urt Granada Hills gift card.

And 10% of sales on August 3 will go to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.

Yoga-urt soft serve is vegan, kosher, soy free, gluten-free, all-natural, probiotic, hand-crafted, small batch, and made on site. The gluten-free cones and sauces are also made in-house with proprietary recipes. For toppings, choose from fresh fruit, mochi, sprinkles, nuts, granola, coconut, mulberries, cacao nibs, and housemade sauces.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt 10th Anniversary New Flavor Reveal & Other Anniversary News

 





Fro-yo girl here. I was lucky enough to sample Yoga-urt’s tenth anniversary NEW flavor. It’s purple, proprietary, and plant-based (plus organic, all natural, hand-crafted, soy-free, etc). The new flavor is Purple Lotus (watermelon & hibiscus). Mmmm, so good. I’ve never had that flavor combination before and you know I love a creative flavor. It’s the perfect summer flavor, since it’s watermelon season. The watermelon makes it sweet and light, but the hibiscus gives it a slightly tart edge that I really appreciate. Try it now. The yogurt is made in limited batches, so hurry.

I also tried the new waffle cones which are made with the almond and cashew pulp that’s the byproduct of the almond and cashew milk that’s made in-house. The new cones are light and crunchy. They might be a bit thinner than the old cones. And yes, they are gluten-free.

Tomorrow, July 12, is the tenth anniversary celebration at all Yoga-urt locations. You’ll get to try the new flavor, Purple Lotus. The first 50 customers at each location will get a custom Yoga-urt bamboo spoon. You can also order a limited edition birthday sundae and the new waffle cones. Also, enjoy $1 off all soft serve bowls from 3 PM - 5 PM (one per customer).

The shops are in Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Granada Hills.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt’s Ten Year Anniversary Celebration on July 12

 




Fro-yo girl here. If you read my blog on a regular basis, you know that I LOVE YOGA-URT and have been a customer since the Kenneth Village shop first opened ten years ago. I’m thrilled that Yoga-urt is turning ten and in awe of the founder’s dedication and commitment to offering the best all-organic, plant-based, probiotic soft serve (also known as frozen yogurt).

To celebrate ten years, all Yoga-urt locations will be offering the following on Saturday, July 12:

  • A brand new flavor
  • Custom commemorative bamboo spoons for the first 50 customers at each location
  • A limited edition birthday sundae
  • $1 off all soft serve bowls from 3 PM - 5 PM (one per customer)
  • New waffle cones

Yoga-urt’s soft serve is free of dairy, soy, and gluten. It's all-natural. The base is made with hand-squeezed almond and cashew milk. The shops are in Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Granada Hills. Here's a picture of the first store, in Glendale's Kenneth Village.

Yoga-urt Adds Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup For a Limited Time

 




Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt is offering its version of the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup this month. The Yoga-urt Dubai chocolate cup is housemade (vegan, organic) pistachio soft serve (made in-house), strawberries, housemade chocolate sauce, kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), and crushed pistachios. It’s plant-based. The kataifi is not gluten-free, but you can leave it out if you’d like.

I tried the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, and it was way better than any Dubai chocolate bar that I’ve had. The cup is coated in chocolate and the contents are layered. Yoga-urt’s Pistachio Passion froyo is one of my top three Yoga-urt flavor because you can really taste the pistachios. It beats any pistachio cream. The strawberries are cut to order. I actually opted for the housemade chocolate shell that I’m obsessed with and it was amazing. Even the pistachios tasted better than the pistachios that I buy from the store. It looks like a big cup, but it comes with nine strawberries, so it’s a manageable size for one person. Such a treat!

Find Yoga-urt’s Dubai chocolate strawberry cup in Glendale from June 9 – 15, Santa Monica from June 16 – 22, and Granada Hills from June 23 – 30. It was in Echo Park from June 1 – 8. Don’t miss it if you love Yoga-urt or think that it sounds yummy.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt’s New Flavor, Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie

 



Fro-yo girl here. Last year, Melissa, the founder of Yoga-urt, created a new flavor, Papa’s Boysenberry Pie, to honor her father. This year, she created a flavor in honor of her mom’s favorite dessert (other than Yoga-urt): Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie. Nana’s Lemon Meringue Pie is made with real lemons, marshmallow crème, and the Yoga-urt house almond/cashew base. I think I tasted graham crackers too or maybe shortbread cookies?

The new flavor launched on November 20, her mom’s birthday. So sweet.

I love lemons and I am now obsessed with the new lemon flavor. It’s the tartest and tangiest Yoga-urt flavor. Cookies and marshmallow crème make it taste like more than lemons, but the froyo isn’t that sweet because it’s so tangy. Like other Yoga-urt flavors, it is organic, soy-free, gluten-free, vegan, etc.

Yoga-urt has locations in Glendale, Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Granada Hills.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt x Frauth NEW Mindful Matcha Latte Flavor






Fro-yo girl here. I wasn’t planning on getting froyo today, but then I saw the new flavor announcement from Yoga-urt. Yoga-urt locations are swirling the new Mindful Matcha Latte flavor this weekend only. It’s made with Frauth matcha, a ceremonial grade matcha from Japan. The flavor is available at all the Yoga-urt locations through November 10, unless they run out before then.

As a matcha lover, I was impressed by how strong the matcha flavor was and the soft serve (aka vegan froyo) was so smooth and rich. It also wasn’t too sweet! If you’ve had Yoga-urt’s Green Tea Tranquility, Mindful Matcha Latte has a stronger matcha flavor and is a darker green. Try it with Strawberry Serenity and fresh strawberries.

Go get some while you can. Yoga-urt is in Kenneth Village (Glendale), Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Granada Hills.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt New Flavor, Papa’s Boysenberry Pie

 




Fro-yo girl here. I just enjoyed a swirl of Yoga-urt’s new flavor, Papa’s Boysenberry Pie. This special flavor is the first new flavor Yoga-urt has introduced since since 2021’s Café De Olla (unless you count the naturally sweetened/no sugar added versions of a few existing flavors).

Papa’s Boysenberry Pie isn’t just any new flavor. It was created in honor of Melissa’s father (Melissa is the founder of Yoga-urt) who passed away in March. His favorite dessert was boysenberry pie. Papa’s Boysenberry Pie combines his favorite dessert with his favorite froyo. Stu was more than Melissa’s dad. He also helped out at Yoga-urt, acting as the unofficial CFO and a tireless mentor.

Papa’s Boysenberry Pie (vegan, plant-based, organic, soy-free, gluten-free, froyo): Boysenberries are a hybrid of several berries, including loganberry, dewberry, raspberry, and blackberry. I’m not sure what dewberries or loganberries taste like, so boysenberries taste like mostly like blackberry to me. Papa’s Boysenberry Pie froyo tasted sweeter than some of the other Yoga-urt flavors. It definitely tastes like berry but not exactly like blackberry or raspberry. I thought I tasted some type of crust too, but I’m not sure. The yogurt was luscious, fresh, thick, rich, and smooth. Recommended toppings: cake pieces, nuts, fresh berries

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

More Naturally Sweetened Flavors at Yoga-urt: Strawberry Serenity & Vanilla Harmony



Fro-yo girl here. We were back at Yoga-urt Kenneth Village this weekend to try the new batch of naturally sweetened flavors, Strawberry Serenity and Vanilla Harmony. I’ve had the regular versions of both many times. The new versions are sweetened with dates and grape juice concentrate, rather than organic sugar. They’re no sugar added, fruit-sweetened versions. Like all Yoga-urt flavors, they’re organic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, all-natural, and kosher.

Naturally-sweetened Strawberry Serenity: I couldn’t really taste the dates but the strawberries were nice and tangy. So good! Natural tasting strawberry goodness.

Naturally-sweetened Vanilla Harmony: Vanilla Harmony has the strongest date flavor as the vanilla has always been pretty subtle. The dates give it a warmer flavor. Vanilla Harmony was a bit thicker than Strawberry Serenity.

I think I like NSA Strawberry Serenity better than regular Strawberry Serenity but I like regular Vanilla Harmony better than NSA Vanilla Harmony. Everything is delicious and good for you too.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt 7th Anniversary & New Flavors

 



Fro-yo girl here. Happy 7th anniversary, Yoga-urt Kenneth Village (Glendale, California)! And keeping with Yoga-urt’s anniversary tradition, two new flavors were introduced this weekend. The flavors are Chocolate Bliss and Peanut Butter Prana. Yes, they don’t sound like new flavors but there’s something different about them. The new versions are sweetened with dates and grape juice concentrate, rather than organic sugar. They’re no sugar added, fruit-sweetened versions. And they’re organic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, all-natural, and kosher. Mr. Froyo approves, since he has a hard time digesting sugary foods.

Naturally-sweetened Peanut Butter Prana: Like “regular” Peanut Butter Prana, the NS version is heavy on peanut butter flavor. It seemed a tad icier but still thick, rich, and luscious. I couldn’t really taste a difference – maybe a side-by-side comparison would help. The verdict: Just as good as the regular Peanut Butter Prana.

Three more naturally sweetened flavors are coming soon. FYI, dates have a low glycemic index.

I’m not sure when it happened but the right wall in front of the shop has new quotes now. They’re all from women.

We remain your loyal fans!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

New Froyo Flavor at Yoga-urt: Café De Olla (Plus Holiday Specials)

 


Fro-yo girl here. The elves at Yoga-urt have been busy and they’ve created a brand new froyo flavor, Café De Olla. Café De Olla is a Mexican beverage made in an clay pot; it’s coffee flavored with cinnamon and raw sugar (aka Piloncillo). I had a swirl and it’s really good – very cinnamon but the coffee makes it more interesting. Recommended toppings: I don’t know why, but chocolate shell and pistachios were so good with Café De Olla. I also think the crunchy gluten-free cones would be terrific with a swirl of Café De Olla. Like all Yoga-urt flavors, Café De Olla is organic, vegan, kosher, gluten free, pro-biotic, and all natural.

Also, this December you can get a warm brownie or freshly made gluten-free waffle with a scoop of Yoga-urt, housemade sauce, and topping. The waffle was so good! Crispy edges, chewy, and not too sweet. Both the brownie and waffle are vegan/plant-based too.

Visit Yoga-urt in Echo Park, Santa Monica, and Glendale!

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt Introduces New Fall Flavor, Pecan Praline



Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt just introduced a new flavor for the fall, Pecan Praline. This is actually their frist new flavor of 2021. The flavor is made with toasted organic pecans, housemade caramel sauce and Yoga-urt’s proprietary housemade almond/cashew base. And yes, Yoga-urt’s probiotic, dairy-free soft serve is hand-crafted, made from scratch, organic, kosher, gluten-free, and soy free.

Pecan praline is a pretty popular flavor, especially during the fall. It reminds me of my father-in-law and my father too. They both liked pecan praline.

Pecan praline froyo: Very smooth, rich, and thick, with visible pecan bits. The caramel makes it sweeter and warmer – very fall like. You can definitely taste the pecans more so than the almonds and cashews in the base. Recommended toppings: pecans, granola, and whipped cream.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt Opens First Location on Westside, Grand Opening This Weekend





Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt is LA’s first and only all organic, plant-based, allergy-friendly soft serve concept. The first location opened in Glendale’s Kenneth Village in 2015 and the Echo Park shop opened in 2019. The Santa Monica location (1700 Ocean Park Blvd.) just opened last weekend and the grand opening celebration is taking place this weekend.

Grand opening details: Enjoy free smalls between 2 PM - 4 PM on October 16 & 17. For every purchase during grand opening weekend, get a raffle ticket. The prize is a $100 Yoga-urt gift card.

Founded and led by female entrepreneur, Melissa Schulman, Yoga-urt takes pride in creating hand-crafted, premium soft serve in small batches. It starts with a base of hand-squeezed almond and cashew milk, enriched with four probiotic strains. The soft serve is dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher, soy-free and all-natural.

They make their own gluten-free cones (super crispy, super delicious), sauces (the chocolate shell is to die for), cookies, pie-crust, and more. The cookies and pie-crust are made with the almond pulp, the byproduct of their housemade almond milk.

Taking over the Treats space, Yoga-urt Santa Monica has a menu that's similar to the other locations: The best hand-crafted organic, vegan, gluten free, soy-free, kosher, probiotic froyo/soft serve! Unique flavors - over 30 of them that rotate. My favorites are Vanilla Harmony, Sweet Greens, Pistachio Passion, True Tahini, Strawberry Serenity, Green Tea Tranquility, PB Prana, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread...They also have shakes, smoothies, kombucha floats, froyo pie, brownies, cookies, coffee, soft serve pints, banana splits, and more. And yes, everything is organic, gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, and kosher.

Expect to find 10 soft serve flavors a day. The portions are generous and their high-quality froyo is so dense and filling that it feels like a fair price. Anything larger than a small feels like too much unless you plan to share.

Cups and spoons are compostable of course. Their products are good for you and they care about the Earth.

Yoga-urt is the only froyo Mr. Froyo will eat. The new location isn't exactly convenient for us but we're excited for Westside residents.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Yoga-urt Kenneth Village Anniversary and New Flavor, Heavenly Honeycomb




Fro-yo girl here. Yoga-urt Kenneth Village (Glendale, CA) just turned SIX on July 18. They were and still are the only plant-based, organic, gluten-free, soy-free, kosher froyo shop in Los Angeles (and beyond). To celebrate this milestone, they just introduced a newish flavor, Heavenly Honeycomb (it was available for a day a few years ago). This unique flavor is made with vegan honeycomb that they make from scratch (the honeycomb is also available as a topping). It tastes like honeycomb – not like caramel but deeper and more caramelized in flavor. It wasn’t as thick and creamy as Peanut Butter Prana for some reason. It's an effortful flavor to make, so it was only available this weekend (and maybe an extra day in Echo Park). 

Also, on July 24, enjoy $1 off your purchase from 2 PM – 5 PM at the Glendale location. On July 25, enjoy $1 off your purchase from 2 PM – 5 PM at the Echo Park location. A portion of the proceeds raised will benefit a non-profit.

There’s a giveaway too. One lucky person will win 6 pints of Yoga-urt (your choice of flavors). For details, check out Yoga-urt’s Instagram account, @yoga-urt

Revele, Maker of the World’s First Vegan Chocolate Covered Frozen Yogurt Bars, Is No More


Fro-yo girl here. It just struck me that I haven’t seen anything from Revele in over a year. Based in Huntington Beach, California, the dessert start-up launched the world’s first vegan chocolate covered frozen yogurt bars in late 2019. I first heard about Revele, at that time called Revele Gelato, in late 2017, when they introduced whipped gelato pints. Made with real milk, cream, and sugar, Revele Gelato was a better-for-you, low calorie treat (80-90 calories per serving, with no sugar substitutes). They didn’t have froyo at the time, so I wasn’t too interested.

During the summer of 2018, they introduced a new line of products, whipped frozen Greek yogurt bars. They were hard to find but I finally tracked them down in early 2019. I didn’t like them.

Then, in October 2019, Revele (no longer Revele Gelato), they introduced the world’s first vegan chocolate covered frozen yogurt bars. In another first, Revele was the first to use allucose, a naturally occurring rare sugar, in a frozen dessert. They moved away from whipping their product with air and emphasized the probiotics, low calorie, and plant-based nature of their new froyo bars. The available flavors were Yellow Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Banana, Pink Chocolate Covered Matcha Tea, Dark Chocolate Covered Toasted Coconut, Milk Chocolate Covered Snickerdoodle and Toffee Bits, and Milk Chocolate Covered Toffee. They were clearly created with the snacking millennial in mind.

The last Instagram post by Revele was on November 28, 2019. I’m unable to view the website or Facebook page. The last tweet was on June 20, 2019. RIP, Revele.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
