Simple coconut yogurt makes a healthy, high-fat breakfast or snack. If you want to take it up a notch, add some fresh berries (or cook them down with chia seeds), a sprinkle of hemp seeds or a gluten free granola and you have a delicious start to your day. This recipe is very mild on the ferment, making it perfect for kids.
Simple Coconut Yogurt*
Ingredients:
1 16-oz can full fat coconut milk

In a blender add your coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut meat. Blend until smooth. Add your probiotic capsule – blend again. Cover your jar with a cheesecloth and place in the oven (do not turn oven on) overnight or for about 12 hours.
