Yogurt has always been my favorite dessert. Until I went vegan, I ate two yogurts every single day, one after my lunch and another one after my dinner. I don’t eat yogurt as a dessert anymore because I only eat desserts once in a while because they are harder to digest after a big meal, so I prefer to eat sweet things at breakfast or as a snack.
When people want to go vegan, it’s hard to give up dairy products because they’re addictive, but fortunately there are so many non-dairy products available now and also so many recipes we can make at home.
We posted a soy yogurt recipe, which is made like regular yogurt and a coconut yogurt recipe, which is so quick and easy, but some of you don’t consume soy and fresh coconuts are not easy to find in some places like Spain, besides, they’re not always affordable, so we’ve made this new recipe using cashews instead. Hope you enjoy it!
Tips:
- We haven’t made this recipe using other nuts, so we don’t know if it would work. If you try other nuts, please leave a comment.
- If you don’t add the probiotic supplements, your yogurt won’t taste the same and it won’t be so good for your gut either.
I buy my probiotic supplements from iHerb and they’re vegan. I love iHerb because I can buy some products it’s hard to find here in Spain and they are also so affordable. If you’re going to buy for the first time, you can use my coupon code: JWT081 and save 5 or 10$ on your first order and also they’ll give a little discount on my next order.

Making non-dairy yogurt at home is so easy, besides, it’s healthier and tastes so good! We used unsalted raw cashews to make this delicious vegan yogurt.
Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups unsalted raw cashews (400 g)
- 1 1/2 cup water (375 ml)
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 probiotic supplements
Instructions
- Soak the cashews overnight.
- Drain them and place them in a blender with the rest of the ingredients (except the probiotic supplements) and blend until smooth.
- Place the yogurt in a bowl, add the 3 probiotic supplements (we need the probiotic powder, so empty the capsules). Mix well.
- Cover with a cheesecloth and let it sit in a dark, cool room for at least 12 hours. Then you can enjoy the yogurt or keeping it in the fridge until it’s cold.

April 16, 2019 at 00:22I would like to know what’s the purpose of the salt? Is it optional?
Iosune says
April 16, 2019 at 12:39Hi Kate! It’s optional, but it enhances the flavor 🙂

January 12, 2019 at 19:38I have just bought a yogurt maker machine. The recipe says it’s ok to use some live yogurt culture to make the new yogurt. Will that work with cashew milk?
Iosune says
January 15, 2019 at 11:15Hi Griselda! I’ve never tried it myself because I don’t have a yogurt maker machine, but I think it should work…

January 11, 2019 at 12:34Actually, in a recent study (very small number of participants), results suggested probiotics had no to minorly negative impact to the state of your microflora. Of course the state of people’s microflora in the first varies and this wouldn’t entirely encapsulate the variety in the population, but still these results suggest that for what was representative at least they do at worst little harm.

Iosune says
December 11, 2018 at 09:04Hi Kiran! Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system. You can find them at any health store, on Amazon, iHerb, etc.
