this tastes just like real yogurt! it's crazy!
Ingredients:
so, how I usually "cook" is I just throw in what i want, and I don't measure stuff.
therefore this is all estimation, and you can totally substitute anything for
anything,
depending on your own intuition, impulse, tastebuds, yada-yada. this is just what i did.
in a blender, combine:
1 half a chunk of tofu... I used silken firm
1 banana
1 or
2 spoonfuls of nut butter (i used almond- yum!)
1 T flaxseeds
small handful of walnuts
1 very large strawberry (you can use any berries you want)
approx. 1/4 cup homemade
cinnamon-vanilla oatmilk (but you obviously can use any other kind of 'milk' you want)
&& blend, blend, blend!
=delightenment. :)
if you want it thicker, add more tofu, nutbutter, &/or berries. if thinner, add more milk.
and if it's not sweet enough, add sweetener of choice. like raw honey. mmm. :)
i put this over a chopped up pink lady apple (my favourite!) & sunflower seeds.
i'm sure it's tasty over grawnola or any mixture of
nuts.
it is also soooo good lightly frozen.

the others have given some nice suggestions as well,
i personally haven't been raw for very long, so i am
just beginning to experiment around. the coconut
seems like a nice idea, though i haven't had a
coconut in many years. adding another banana
might be a nice substitute, too. hemp seeds also!
i hope this helps.

Matthew Kenny's book has a recipe for raw silken tofu. I am pretty sure it uses macadamia nuts. It might work.

Hello Mamoo,
You can use some young coconut. If you need to thicken it a little more, you can throw in additional walnuts, coconut flour or dried coconut. :)

I was wondering what I could substitute for the tofu. I am trying to stay away from tofu and soy products.

This sounds good. I've been thinking recently of ways to make my own kind of raw yoghurt.
I'm going to experiment myself and see what I come up with.
