Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup raw cashews or cashew pieces
  • 1 cup filtered or distilled water (this helps the cultures grow faster than chlorinated tap water would)
  • Either 1 tbsp vegan yogurt to use as a starter. Be sure to use one with live, active cultures. Or you can use probiotic pills, see next ingredient
  • 2 vegetarian probiotic pills ((if not using the vegan starter. I use the Now PB8 Probiotic Acidophilus capsules, which are vegan.))

Instruction

  • Place the cashews and water in a blender and blend to a very smooth paste.
  • Place the cashew paste in a ceramic or glass bowl. Microwave for 10-15 seconds or until slightly warm. You can skip this step, but I like that it gives the bacteria a head start.
  • Stir in the starter or, if using probiotic pills, open the capsules and empty the powder into the cashew paste. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place in a warm spot, like a cold oven with the pilot light on, or, in hotter temps, on the countertop.
  • Let it stand for six hours or overnight. The set yogurt should be very thick and tangy.
