Instant tofu yogurt
VEGAN YOGURT INGREDIENTS
Tofu: Fresh tofu is best here as it doesn’t leave a strong tofu-soy flavor. Either soft, medium-firm, or firm depending on the style of tofu you’re going for.
Frozen Fruit: I typically will use frozen fruit, as I always have a stock of frozen berries in my freezer. Sometimes I use fresh strawberries, which really is my favorite version. You can also use denser fruits like bananas and mango for creaminess.
Cashew Butter: Makes it super creamy like actual yogurt! Coconut cream also works really well here for a nut-free version. However, I prefer to use tahini.
Lemon: Don’t skip it, it adds the tang that yogurt needs.
Protein Powder (Optional): Although optional, I highly recommend adding just a bit of protein powder for texture. Plus, if you use vanilla protein powder it adds a touch more sweetness and flavor.
The best thing about this vegan yogurt is that you don’t need any fancy equipment and it’s not complicated to make. I love yogurt so much, that it really was the hardest thing to give up when I went Vegan. After discovering I could make it myself, it has become a weekly staple. It really is one of the easiest recipes to make!
