Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 capsules probiotic capsules
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 2 cups of water, agave syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Open the probiotic capsules and add the powder to the blender. Blend again briefly to incorporate the probiotics into the mixture.
Step 5
Pour the cashew blend into a clean glass bowl or jar, and cover it with a clean, breathable fabric or paper towel. Secure it with a rubber band.
Step 6
Let the mixture ferment at room temperature (around 70°F/21°C) undisturbed for 24-48 hours. The longer it sits, the tangier it will become.
Step 7
After fermentation, taste the yogurt. If it has reached your desired tanginess, stir it well and transfer it to an airtight container.
Step 8
Refrigerate the yogurt for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken before serving.
Step 9
Serve your vegan yogurt as is, or with fresh fruit, granola, or a dash of cinnamon as toppings.
