A creamy (and way better!) alternative to yougurt


This is something I whipped up this morning before I went to work. I froze half of it and ate the rest for breakfast. I'll photograph the frozen nogurt tomorrow so you can see how versatile this recipe is. If you have a very powerful blender like the vitamix blender then you can do it all together- otherwise do it like this:

T= Tablespoon
t= teaspoon
c= cup


In a blender:
1 1/2 c 'raw', unsalted cashews
1 c water
1 t vanilla extract or a small bit of scraped vanilla bean
1/4 c agave nectar
1/2 t sea salt

In a food processor:
4 c frozen (or fresh) berries of any kind
3 T fresh lime juice
then add what was in your blender to the food processor until it becomes smooth.

That's it! You can use it for a breakfast, snack or desert. I added some shredded apple and blueberries- awesome!

Paul and I just had this for a snack. We've been splitting and stacking wood all morning, so it was a perfect way to boost our energy. I used mixed field berries and frozen local blueberries. Sooooo good!

That looks amazing! I wonder, can you use almonds instead of cashews??
