Rich and creamy, making your own nut yoghurt is healthy and cost effective. Soak your nuts overnight before using. You can use a yoghurt starter kit or probiotic powder to inoculate the yoghurt with beneficial bacteria. Any nuts can be used but almonds or cashew nuts are particularly good.

(serves 4)

Ingredients:
125g raw almonds, soaked in water for 12 hours then drained
500ml coconut water or water
1 tbsp sweetener (e.g maple syrup, honey)
½ tsp probiotic powder

Method:
Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and process until smooth and creamy. Pour into a sanitised glass jar, and set in a warm room for 9-12 hours. It should now taste slightly sour.

Store covered in the fridge for up to a week.
