Coconut yogurt

Coconut yogurt

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 probiotic capsules

DIRECTIONS

  • Open your coconut milk can and scoop out the solid cream. Depending how thick you like your yogurt, add more or less of the coconut water.
  • Place coconut milk in a clean jar or glass container. Stir the milk to combine. Then take your probiotic capsules, open them up and add the contents to the milk (discard the leftover capsule).
  • With a clean ceramic spoon, stir in the probiotics. Do not use a metal spoon. Cover the jar with a clean cheese cloth or thin dish towel, tighten with an elastic band and leave to sit on the counter for 24-48 hours (depending how warm your house is). Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • My coconut yogurt was ready in about 24 hours. You can give it a taste during the process to
    test when your yogurt is done. Look for that distinctive tangy yogurt taste.
  • Once done, place a lid on your container and put the yogurt in the fridge for a couple of hours to thicken and firm. Keep refrigerated and consume in a couple of days.

Let’s Talk Nutrition:

  • Improve Gut Health:  Beneficial bacteria in probiotic capsules support a healthy gut microbiome. Probiotics and coconut milk, which contain antimicrobial medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), create a good bacteria environment in your digestive system. A balanced gut microbiome improves digestion, nutrient absorption, and gastrointestinal issues like IBS and constipation.
  • Enhanced Nutrient Absorption:  Healthy fats, like MCTs, are in full-fat coconut milk. These fats improve fat-soluble vitamin and mineral absorption. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are better absorbed with probiotics, which improve gut health. This can boost immunity and health
