    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.

      I 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?

        Hi Griselda! I've never tried it myself because I don't have a yogurt maker machine, but I think it should work...

      Actually, 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.

        Hi 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.

      I find it very interesting that you add salt which typically kills bacteria and didn't add sugar which feeds them. Is the purpose of the salt to add more sourness?

        Hi Deborah! You don't need to add sugar to make yogurt, so I prefer to avoid it. Adding salt to get a flavor more similar to real yogurt, but omit it if you want 🙂

      Looks delicious but cashew is supposedly very bad for unhappy guts, as prone to fungus. Is adding probiotics enough to counteract that? Because would love to eat.

      Hi Sandy! I'm so sorry the recipe didn't work for you, but our readers love it and it's pretty similar to a plant-based yogurt. Have a nice day!

      I just made this and it came out looking exactly as the photos above. The texture and taste are much more like ricotta cheese than yogurt. It was really good with blueberries and some maple syrup. It might work best as a sub for ricotta. My only disappointment is that it's not yogurt-like at all

      I have not made it yet, but am curious to know why you're supposed to leave it in a cool, dark room. Normally, you'd have some heat on like a yogurt maker would, right? What is the difference? Thanks.

      I made this and it tastes salty. Reminded me more of cream cheese than yogurt which is great if I would have added less water and made it thicker. Besides that, great recipe!

      I have probiotic capsules for myself, but I also have children's probiotic powder. Would it be a bad idea to use the children's powder instead? I just think that might be easier, since I have it anyway. If you think its fine, how much of it should i use? Thanks in advance.

      WHy do you not mix in the probiotic powder with the other ingredients? Also, do you ever double the recipe ? I’m anxious to make this !

        Hi Carolyn! Because the bacteria in probiotics are delicate, so it's better this way. No, I don't, but it should work 🙂
