L.A. currently plays home to the most inspired yogurt artist we’ve ever seen, a fact nearly obscured by the Pinkberry backlash. Japanese concert promoter Masako Kawashima, unlike her peers, ditches pre-made mixes to create her own recipes from scratch at Sno:la. She often spends over a year to ensure her organic product honors the true flavors of what local farms harvest, in yogurts so pure, their colors change from crop to crop. No fro-yo tastes this clean and free of synthetic aftertaste or imagined flavors. It isn’t just what goes into Kawashima’s natural bases that elevate this treat, but the seasonal farmed fruit and homemade sweets she puts on top. Kawashima introduces regulars like Tyra Banks to organic yogurt mixed with avocados so tender, they are eaten with the skin, and splurges on pearl ruby nectarines and September snow peaches from Tenerelli’s prized orchards. So if you think you’re over frozen yogurt, take a look at our slideshow of Sno:la’s healthy artisan creations before deciding. Sno:la, 244 North Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills.
