Who knew you could make coconut yogurt at home? Just a can of organic coconut milk and a few probiotic capsules, and you have a satisfying vegan yogurt that's light and creamy. Making it at home allows you to control the sweetness and consistency without the normal thickeners hiding in store-bought yogurts. This picture-perfect yogurt gets its natural blue-green color from spirulina, an algae powder that's high in protein, phytonutrients, B vitamins and antioxidants. The blue-green color makes for a whimsical mix to everyday eats like yogurt bowls and smoothies!
