Sugar and Dairy Free Coconut Yogurt Recipe that brings tropical flavors to your breakfast table. Serve it with fresh berries and granola for a healthy start of the day!
I have been experimenting with this Coconut Yogurt Recipe for some time now but today I am sharing with you the version I like the best. It is a thin and runny yogurt which is easily drinkable wich is great on busy mornings.
If you prefer thicker yogurt you can place the coconut milk into the fridge over night and only use the thick coconut cream that sits on top and use the thinner milk and water for you smoothie.
Or you could try this recipe by Beth from Tasty Yummies.
What is coconut milk?
The white flesh of a brown coconut is grated and soaked in little water to dissolve the fat present in the meat. Then the coconut milk is strained through a cheesecloth. When making fresh coconut milk you get different products in different stages of the process – Coconut cream, thin and thick milk.
The coconut milk we buy in cans is a mix of both thick and thin milk along with some coconut water.
Coconut milk is lactose-free but high in fat.
