Soy Yogurt

After a week of doing Vegan (healthy plant based diet) I realized that it wasn't beef, chicken or pork that I was craving or having a hard time giving up. The one thing I was struggling with was yogurt. Frozen yogurt to be more specific. I went on the hunt and called about 20 Fro-Yo places to see if they offered any kind of non-dairy yogurt and the answer was no. Then during my first solo grocery shopping trip after my surgery to Trader Joe's I found this!!!

I was beyond excited to find it. Trader Joe's only had two flavors, peach and strawberry but as soon as I got home I put it in the freezer and after a few hours I had my first taste of soy frozen yogurt. It was enough to make me smile and satisfy my craving. Since then I have tried the vanilla flavor and I did not like it. It tasted too chalky and a bit like medicine. I'm sticking to the peach flavor for now.

Two of my friends did have good alternative, non soy suggestions for replacing frozen yogurt that I still have to attempt to make but I'll share anyway:

1. Shaved ice with coconut milk
2. Peel and freeze bananas or any fruit, then put it through the champion juicer and voila, natural yogurt! (loved her enthusiasm in sharing).

Happy, Healthy Eating!
