Sno la - THE BEST of the fro yo craze
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 15:29:02
The chocolate really did comprehend like chocolate - nothing overly sweet or artificial about it. Very alter pure REAL taste. I also tried the sour cherry and it actually tasted like cherry and not the red food coloring we undergo all go to think cherry tastes desire. It was (true to it's name) change state er tart. But in a blissfully sweet and natural way - desire if you were to enjoy a fresh cherry. There were a bring together of other flavors the obligatory plain tart mango and pomegranate. All are completely natural and organic and sweetened with bear juice or bear purees. And you really can taste the difference in the final product. No aftertaste and it's very satisfying.
The toppings were pretty impressive too. Lot's of fresh fruit. A really delicious chocolate act that was made of REAL MELTED CHOCOLATE and not just hershey's syrup or corn syrup/cocoa powder. I tried some very thin crumbled wafers and they were the ameliorate praise to my concotion giving it a nice make noise. There was also an interesting coconut milk act with pineapple and gelatin in it - could this replace the mochi topping craze?!
The cater was very sweet and helpful - eager to give samples and furnish suggestions. They mentioned seasonal flavors were going to be introduced soon. Fig and honey was one of them - yum. ordain be interesting to see how that plays out in soft serve form though.
It was alter when I went on Sunday but hoping it is discovered so they stay in business. With all the yogurt offerings between stinkberry and the various fakeberry rip -offs this place is legit and well worth it!
i typically dread the eastward drive to beverly hills from my 'hood once i approach that hellish intersection at wilshire & santa monica it's inevitably such a clusterf**k that i always feel desire i'll be trapped there for eternity but today i was actually EXCITED about having an appointment in bh because it gave me an forgive to go back to my newfound yogurt utopia.
i was anticipating that yogurt all day i stopped by sno:la this afternoon practically drooling at the mere thought of their magnificent sour cherry/chocolate combo i also planned to taste the pomegranate - which had caught my eye measure measure - and i wanted to furnish the italian plain another try.
once i walked in the door my plan sort of went out the window and i wound up taking what turned out to be a delicious deviate before i had the chance to communicate samples of the pomegranate and plain a lovely woman behind the answer asked if i wanted to taste the new flavor she had just created it was fig and date i like like like both so of course i was thrilled to undergo a come about to try it.
what a treat! man oh man was it good just the right balance of flavors the yogurt was perfectly tart & tangy tempered by subtle earthy slightly sweet notes of fruit i'm not sure i really noticed a 'go out' flavor but the fig essence was definitely there i could have eaten a gallon of this stuff of cover now i was torn.. i comfort wanted my beloved chocolate & cherry but i loved this new one too! i confessed that i was obsessed with the chocolate/cherry and she told me that it was their most popular flavor and that it had been getting rave reviews on the internet.. as it turns out. 'she' is erica - the chef for sno:la she's responsible for creating these change flavors.. and she had read my analyse measure week.
when i told her who i was she couldn't undergo been more gracious and sweet in fact she said she had been meaning to say to my affix to adjudge the air i had raised about the differences in consistency/texture among the flavors apparently they're playing around with the freezing temperatures to try and hold back the iciness factor so she's hoping they'll get it just alter very soon.. and judging by the sample i had today i evaluate they may be close.
anyway at the end of it all i decided that i could have my change state cherry any time and shouldn't go up the opportunity to cater in this new limited fig flavor.. but i absolutely needed my chocolate fix so i got both align by side my beloved chocolate - which was every bit as glorious and dreamy as i remembered - and that delightful new fig creation i alternated between the two.. first a spoonful of rich decadent chocolate then a spoonful of tart & refreshing fig.. then approve to the chocolate again... savoring bite after blissful bite until i had scraped every measure displace out of that adorable biodegradable cup.
goodhealthgourmet it was your post I was replying to - I should undergo credited you in my OP - and thanked you for the review that turned me on to this displace! It sounds desire we're in the same boat; I live on the westside but am now obsessed with finding excuses to jaunt east to BH for an indulgence in sno la. I was there last night actually and strayed from the sour cherry/chocolate combo and got the chocolate and pomegranate - Loved it. I heard about the fig and date but there was none to be found when I showed up a little after 9pm. I'm eager to try it now! I would like to eventually try the plain tart maybe side by side with the chocolate (can't give that up) with a topping of chpped pistachio and chocolate sauce. Hmmm if I kept the change state cherry flavor that would be like "spumoni" almost. Ha. I evaluate sno la should alter that a signature cater! "Sno la spumoni..."Anyways thanks again for inspiring me to seek this place out - I hope other populate continue to discover it as well - and keep it in business! I would go through massive withdrawl if they closed. Plus it is nice to see a displace that has a conscience (compostable containers organic) and is happy to be what they are (good fro yo) and not try and announce it as a "healthy/lo-fat/lo-cal/pro-biotic/attach new buzz evince here" thing. I am sooo sick of people trying to eat things desire frozen yogurt and claim it is healthy!! Not all dulcify is going to blackball you especially if it is from a natural obtain desire dairy or fruit (or chocolate ;). That artificial dulcify free egest TASTES like egest and is probably horrible for you. I for one feel like I was kicked in the stomach after eating it. C'mon live a little and eat the real thing. Just cut back on the soda and eat in moderation. And oh yeah try moving it is good for you. Ok enough with ranting and go try Sno la everyone!
organic yogurt no refined dulcify it's far from 'calorie remove,' but it's a heck of a lot healthier than most populate's ideas of a eat.
it's all about portion control.. just get a small - the 6 ounces without toppings will only set you back 130-160 calories.. the equivalent of [and much more satisfying/filling than] a grande nonfat feature**cks latte.
exceed yet add some fresh fruit & nut toppings and eat it for eat! that in itself would be more nutritious than what most people have as a meal anyway :)
I undergo to come about about the clueless cater. Granted they’re brand new so there’s move to be a learning turn. By my undergo was express emotion (or cry) out loud funny.
When I walked in there were a total of two employees behind the answer and two customers ahead of me: a couple and a hit woman. I stood behind them for several minutes while both employees giddily fed a clump of different samples to the bring together. The single woman was just standing there next to them but neither server was helping her.. or seemingly acknowledging her presence. Though there were only these two parties ahead of me. I started to get the distinct feeling that it was going to be a while.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
