Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds (120 g)
  • 2 cups water (480 ml)
  • 2 vegan probiotic capsules

Instructions

  • Place your almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight and drain once you’re ready to make the almond milk yogurt.
  • Transfer the soaked almond with 2 cups of fresh water into a blender and process to obtain a frothy, creamy liquid.
  • Use a nut milk bag to separate the liquid from the pulp, squeezing it with your hands to obtain as much almond milk as possible.
  • Pour the liquid into a large bowl, cut open the probiotic capsules and add the powder to the almond milk. Mix well with a spoon or hand whisk.
  • Transfer the almond milk to sterilized jars and cover them with cheesecloth. 
  • To create your probiotic-rich almond yogurt, let the jars sit at room temperature for 48 hours. The result should smell tangy and pleasant —  if you notice an unpleasant smell, don’t consume the almond milk yogurt and start the process again.
  • Store the jars with homemade vegan yogurt covered in the refrigerator where it can be kept for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • To obtain a thicker almond milk yogurt, add guar gum, arrowroot powder or any of the other vegan thickeners listed in the article.
  • Add some chia or flax seeds for a healthy & easy whole food plant-based thickener!
  • Make sure to properly sterilize your yogurt jars or even all of the equipment you’re using.
