All-Natural Indeed

Dub me as obsessed with the downfall of Pinkberry, but I’ve found my favorite replacement for the 50-store chain which previously called its product “all-natural.” And it’s not like I was exactly looking. Truth be known, I was merely looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth after returning some purchases at Target in West Hollywood, located in the same plaza, as I sauntered on in. (I think a Ben & Jerry’s was previously in this spot.)

It’s called Ice Pan.

Indeed, it really is the anti-Pinkberry, so I’d be lying if that weren’t right up my alley. But who can really argue with somebody who tries to “right” everything Pinkberry has “wronged?”

Let’s start with the choices of toppings. No, actually, you get to pick which type of milk. Oh, wait - you pick your flavor first. Whether it’s mango, kiwi, green tea, chocolate, vanilla or strawberry - whatever it is - chopped up bits and pieces of it comprise its flavor. The flavor really is all-natural. After that, you choose from whole, skim, non-fat or soy milk to blend your flavor with. The nutrition facts of every single flavor and milk combination are there, plain as day, for you to see. Then comes the multitude of toppings. None of which are cereal.
