Yoga-urt 5th Anniversary Celebration Recap: New Flavor, New Menu Item




Fro-yo girl here. We’re back from Yoga-urt, 1407 Kenneth Rd, Glendale, CA, and the 31st flavor was finally revealed: Ultimate Ube! I guessed that the new flavor would be purple, but that was easy to guess since most of Yoga-urt’s anniversary flavors have been. The shop looked very celebratory with lots of pink and purple balloons.

Ultimate Ube: The texture was thick though it wasn’t quite as firm and dense as some of the other flavors, possibly because it was a new flavor that was freshly made and/or the fact that it was 98 degrees was taxing the soft serve machine? The flavor was on the sweeter side and had a hint of spice. Mr. Froyo & I thought it was cinnamon and maybe something else. The ube flavor was on the mild side but we were tasting more than just cinnamon, almond milk and cashews. Yes, it’s plant-based, organic, gluten free, soy free and kosher. Recommended toppings: Pistachios, gluten free waffle cone, almonds.

I was so excited about the new flavor that I forgot to check out the brand new Classic Chocolate and Strawberry shakes. Also, you can request a shake made with any flavor that’s in rotation.

The celebration continues tomorrow at the Echo Park location (2211 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles). Enjoy $1 off your purchase on Sunday from 2 PM - 5 PM.

Your froyo purchases will help others too; $1 from every transaction will be donated to the Loveland Foundation, an organization that brings opportunity, access, validation and healing to communities of color, and Support + Feed, a charitable initiative that provides plant-based meals during the coronavirus pandemic and beyond for those in need, including families, seniors, victims of domestic abuse, etc.

P.S. If you’re looking for Pistachio Passion or Vanilla Harmony pints, they’re sold out.

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