Pear & Cashew Dairy Free Yoghurt
Soaked cashew nuts mixed with probiotics make a creamy and decadent “yoghurt”, that your kids are sure to love. When you combine these with poached pear, vanilla and maple syrup then the yoghurt turns it into a gorgeous creamy pudding. If you are looking for a dairy free yoghurt then this is quick and easy to make and is very adaptable. We use it as a cream and dollop it on top of crumble and I often combine this with mango, banana, berries, and seeds for a very filling breakfast.
One of hardest problems with going dairy-free is missing out on creamy yoghurts. There are limited shop-bought options and home-made is often easier. Some kids, especially those are with dysbiosis (think out-of-sync gut flora) and sore tummies are often hooked on sweet yoghurts (this may be the ONLY food they eat!) and you can imagine this is double trouble when trying to replace them with something healthy that they can tolerate.
One of the yummiest ways to eat this is to combine with strawberries – it tastes just amazing and kids think is it made from dairy it is so creamy!
