Raw Almond & Cashew Yogurt (with probiotics!)

I thought I'd find myself sighing and saying "it just isn't the same" - well, it was quite the opposite! I couldn't believe how good this was. It still had that tangy yogurt taste, creamy texture, and probiotic benefit. Plus, it had it's own unique nutty profile, I gotta say I'm diggin' it.

Your chain brand of plain yogurt has about 9g of sugar (let's not even talk about the flavored ones...) whereas this homemade brand has, yup, you guessed it, a big whopping ZERO grams.......just one reason why you should make your own homemade nut yogurt :)

Almond & Cashew Yogurt

Servings: one big jar

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of organic almonds

1/2 cup organic cashews

2 cups of water

1 probiotic capsule 

+ more water for soaking nuts

+ a wooden/plastic spoon (probiotics don't like metal)

Directions:

Place your almonds and cashews in a bowl and cover with water - let soak for at least 4-6 hours (I just leave mine overnight).

Strain the nuts and rinse well.

Place the nuts & the 2 cups of (clean) water into your high powered blender and blend on high until it develops into a smooth texture.

Place into a jar and use a wooden spoon to mix in the powder from inside your probiotic capsule. 

Cover with a clean towel and place it in a warm spot in the kitchen, away from direct sunlight. 

Now....just wait! Let it sit for about 24hrs, then taste it (remember - no metal!), if it's still not tangy enough, let it sit for a bit longer. 

Once it's up to par to your taste buds, cover it and store in the fridge.
