Vegan banana split

I know the majority of readers are based in the socially, politically and financially crumbling UK so I thought I would offer you some pure vegan food escapism to brighten up your bleak week.

During my trip to Los Angeles last week, I had the extreme pleasure of visiting a completely vegan soft serve frozen yoghurt store located in Glendale.

Yoga-Urt is a gorgeous experience from top to bottom. Friendly people, delicious yoghurt (old school, isolationist UK spelling!) and a delightful selection of vegan toppings.

Take a look at the stunning banana split below and tell me if you can even handle it!

Chocolate and peanut butter swirl

Got plans to be in Los Angeles anytime soon?

Well, you had better make plans!

Today I stopped by a frozen yogurt shop on Robertson Boulevard in West Los Angeles as I had heard about dedicated vegan yogurt self service machines and toppings.

Milky’s is not a fully-vegan enterprise but they certainly do not shy away from their plant-based credentials. Check out the photos below and click play on the hypnotic video of me serving up a jumbo tub of chocolate and peanut butter swirl.

Glory!

Frozen yoghurt delight

My 4th annual vegan Day of the Dead party on Sunday was incredible. From the food to the guests to the atmosphere, the event was outstanding fun.

One of the most-loved dishes served up by Chef Julio (and his helpers Carlos and Josh) was the decadent dessert. This final plate of the night broke sweetness records and pushed the boundaries of sugar decency.

Check it out:

What do you think?

The plate featured a gooey chocolate brownie in a sea of choc fudge sauce, topped with vanilla frozen yogurt dusted with a mix of chile, hibiscus, salt and sugar.

I want to give a massive shout out to Coconut Collaborative for the vanilla frozen yogurt alternative. The company furnished our party with a mammoth freezer bag of the good stuff.

You can buy all of their flavours in most major supermarkets and independent health food stores. My favourite is the chocolate version but this vanilla was perfectly suited to the brownie dish.
