Vegan Yogurt
Vegan yogurt is a plant-based alternative to traditional dairy yogurt, made from ingredients like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk. It has a creamy texture and a tangy flavor, similar to regular yogurt, but is entirely dairy-free, making it suitable for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. Vegan yogurt is often fortified with probiotics, offering gut health benefits, and comes in a variety of flavors such as plain, vanilla, and fruit-infused. Its versatility and nutritional profile make it a popular choice for healthy, plant-based diets.
Common Uses
- Use vegan yogurt as a base for smoothies to add creaminess and a tangy flavor while keeping the recipe dairy-free.
- Substitute vegan yogurt for sour cream in recipes like dips, dressings, or baked goods for a plant-based twist.
- Enjoy vegan yogurt as a breakfast option topped with granola, fresh fruits, and nuts for a nutritious start to the day.
- Incorporate vegan yogurt into marinades for tofu or vegetables to enhance flavor and tenderize the ingredients.
- Use it as a dairy-free alternative in baking recipes, such as muffins, cakes, or pancakes, for added moisture and a subtle tang.
- Create creamy vegan sauces or curries by stirring in plain vegan yogurt for a rich and smooth consistency.

Storage Tips
Store vegan yogurt in the refrigerator at 35-40°F (1-4°C) to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Keep it sealed tightly to avoid absorbing odors from other foods. Once opened, consume within 5-7 days for optimal flavor and texture. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the consistency and probiotic content.
