silky smooth young thai coconut yogurt


if making your own yogurt has ever intimidated you, this is the recipe for you! easy, fresh, fluffy & fool-proof:

2 c young coconut meat (scoop out yourself from fresh coconuts or buy frozen coconut meat packets to make it easier!)
1 c filtered water
1/2 t probiotics (check my favs highlight on instgram for a good one)

-blend the coconut & water until silky smooth. add to a glass bowl and stir in probiotics with a *wooden* spoon. cover with cheesecloth or organic cotton & put in the dehydrator on the lowest setting.
taste after 8hrs, you want it slightly tangy & a bit fluffier.

eat as is—with your favorite fruit/granola, or stir in a little vanilla bean powder & stevia or raw honey to sweeten.
