Probiotic Cashew Yogurt

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cashews

  • 1 cup filtered water

  • 1 tbs starter from store bought or previously made probiotic dairy-free yogurt OR 2 probiotic capsules (emptied from the capsule)

  • Optional: lemon juice,1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor, Vitaminx, Nutribullet, or other blender

  • Empty into clean glass jar.

Fermenting options:

  • A) Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place in a warm spot, like a cold oven with the pilot light on, or in warmer temperatures, on the countertop. Let sit for 24-36 hours.

  • B) Use an Instant Pot - set to “Yogurt’” setting and let ferment for 6+ hours

  • C) Set a dehydrator to 110°F and timer for 12 hours. This is my preferred method.

Let cool in refridgerator before consumption

To serve: Get fancy with it! Add blueberries, seeds, nuts, gluten-free low sugar granola, cinnamon, or other preferred toppings. Blueberries, pecans & cinnamon is my favorite combo, and is also high in antioxidants, add some protein, and the cinnamon is insulin sensitizing!
