Description
Skip the store-bought varieties, & make this easy vegan coconut yogurt at home with a base of just 2 ingredients and endless flavor options!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (13.66 -ounce) can full-fat coconut milk (full fat is best for thicker yogurt)
- 2 probiotic capsules 50 billion CFU- lab certified *see notes – capsules will need to be pulled apart to access powder inside
Optional Mix-ins:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Protein booster – 15-20 grams unsweetened vegan protein powder or collagen
- Sweeteners – maple syrup, agave, etc.
Toppings:
- Fresh fruit, granola, orange or lemon zest, toasted nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Place the coconut milk in a clean glass jar or bowl. Mix/whisk thoroughly until smooth, removing all clumps.
- Open the probiotic capsules and pour the powder into the coconut milk yogurt. Using a non-metal utensil*, thoroughly mix the probiotic powder into the coconut milk.
- Lightly cover the jar/bowl with cheese cloth or a breathable towel and let it sit in a warm environment for 24 to 48 hours. The longer it ferments, the tangier the yogurt will taste.
- Stir in any mix-ins, if desired. Transfer the yogurt to the fridge to chill and thicken for a couple hours or longer. The longer it chills, the thicker it gets.
- Serve with toppings of choice. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Notes
Prep Tips – This recipe makes 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups, depending on the thickness of the coconut milk. We recommend using a 50 Billion Live Cultures with 24 Strains Vegan Probiotic capsules that DOES NOT contain prebiotics. So be sure to check the label. Using a non-metal spoon avoids adverse reactions with probiotics. Metal is self-sanitizing and will kill good bacteria (aka probiotics).
