Making your own yoghurt is easier than you might think! The benefit is that you can avoid the artificial ingredients and added sugar of commercial, store-bought brands – instead using quality ingredients, to get the most nutrients from your yoghurt. Yoghurt with active, living bacteria cultures – probiotics – helps keep the gut happy, improving digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea and constipation.
Ingredients
2 cups cashews, soaked for minimum 2 hours or overnight
½ cup plain unsweetened almond milk
Juice from 1 medium lemon
1 tsp pure maple syrup Pinch of Himalayan or sea salt
2 capsules of good quality, multistrain probiotic
Method
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews, add all the ingredients minus the probiotic to the blender, blend on a high speed for 60 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with the probiotics and mix in with a spoon.
Cover the bowl with muslin cloth and leave it in a warm, dark place for 24-48 hours.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. The yoghurt will last for approximately 5 days
Notes:
Sprinkle with cinnamon for bonus anti-inflammatory benefits!
