I will admit I was a sceptical about the concept of vegan yogurt because, well- YOGURT! It’s such a distinct flavor and consistency, the idea that it could be replicated with nuts just didn’t seem possible. BUT! BUT!!!!! It’s yogurt my friends, it really truly is. And it’s heavenly. More like a thick creamy Greek style than a lighter yogurt- and that’s what I prefer anyhow. As if that weren’t enough- it’s super easy to make. So, for all of you who avoid dairy and miss yogurt- this is for you. Load it up with in season fruits, swap out the raspberries for blueberries if you’d like, toss on a handful of granola- just go nuts! Enjoy and for my stateside friends- happy holiday weekend! xx- Sarah

why is there psyllium husks powder in the recipe? Can it be omitted?
Hi Toni! The psyllium husks give it the consistency of yogurt- I definitely do not recommend omitting!
Tried it – it was just gorgeous! Very very tasty! My favourite dessert now. Apart from that, raspberry has lots of vitamins, learn more at topessaywriter

Hi Sarah! Do you recommend adding a probiotic supplement to this recipe?

I don’t have a high powered blender – do you think a food processor would work?
I love greek yogurt but prefer not to consume too many dairy products so I’m glad I found this recipe! 🙂 How long would you say the yogurt keeps for in the fridge?
I am allergic to cashews. Could I use peanuts instead?
