    Simple vegan cashew yogurt - 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.

    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.

    • 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.

      This is my first time making yogurt. Is it that I soak the 2 2/3rds cup of raw cashews in the 1 1/2 cups of water listed in the ingredients overnight. Then in the morning drain what fluid is left from the soak and blend the drained cashews OR do I soak them in water, drain them then add the 1 1/2 cups of water and blend that.

        Hi Anne! You have to soak them in water, drain them and then, add water and blend!

      Hi Losune,

      This sounds great and so easy. What strength probiotics do you use? I have Renew Life 15 billion - would I use three of these?
      Thanks! Happy Holidays!

      Hi! Does the yogurt have to be refrigerated while it sits for 12 hours? I worry about it spoiling. Thanks!

        Hi Lisa, I'm pretty sure that it must sit at room temperature, or warmer (like in the oven with the light on) in order for the fermentation to occur. The cool temperature of the refrigerator would prevent fermentation.

        Hi Lisa! It's better to let it sit in a dark, cool room but not in the fridge 🙂

      The proportions are totally wrong. The cashew was granular and dry with the proportions mentioned. I had to add much more water.

        Hi! Proportions are correct 🙂 We have done it more than once and it works well! Sorry if it wasn't what you expected! If you want you can have a look at our other yogurt recipes: https://simpleveganblog.com/2-ingredient-vegan-coconut-yogurt/ and https://simpleveganblog.com/soy-yogurt/

          I've made it according to the recipe/proportions and it's always come out great! There are some variations in the thickness that I think are due to differences in temperature during the fermentation.

        Did you use raw or roasted cashews? The recipe calls for raw but I suppose it'd be granular if you used toasted nuts.

      Turns out great!! I add frozen berries at the end and sprinkle a little flax seed on top!
      Wondering though how long you think it can be stored in the fridge, the nature of yogurt/sour cream/etc is to be “soured” so when would it actually go bad??

        Hi Cindy! Sounds so good, I love berries! I think it will last 1 week in the fridge 🙂 Have a nice day!

      Hi! How does the lemon juice affect the recipe? I have made cashew yogurt but have never added lemon juice before.

      Does this yogurt thicken at all, or is it runny?

      I love this recipe and will definitely try it! Is it OK that that I don't strain the cashew milk after blending and then simply use it directly to make the yoghurt? Thanks a lot!

      I need yogurt for a vegan cake recipe. Do you think the probiotics are necessary in that case?
