You may recall the Raw Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe that we shared from Gena Hamshaw’s new cookbook, Choosing Raw, just recently. Well we have one more gem from this amazing new high-raw cookbook: super-easy Banana Cashew Yogurt.
Gena says:
Greek yogurt is one of the last non-vegan foods I stopped eating, and it was one of my favorites. I’ve seen all sorts of super complex recipes for fermented, homemade yogurts, but this simple recipe is my go-to.
This banana cashew yogurt calls for a probiotic powder. You don’t have to go out and purchase one to make it. If you take any kind of probiotic supplement, you can simply empty two to three capsules into the recipe and enjoy. If you don’t want to, or don’t have a probiotic powder at all, that’s fine. Just go ahead and enjoy the taste of this sweet, tangy treat.
See my other post for a few more details about Choosing Raw, or peruse this cookbook on Amazon.

thanks for sharing this amazing posting.
Banana Cashew Yogurt is my all time favorite but my preparation is slight different as i use little coconut.
There’s so much you can make with yogurt, but I wouldn’t touch the stuff they sell in most supermarkets. Will pass the recipe on and have someone make it for me before I try it.
I like using the instant pot as it saves me loads of time. I put on stews in the morning and they are ready in the evening when I come home from work.
