Made with deliciously simple whole-food ingredients, this banana “yogurt” from Nutrition Stripped is dairy-free. The banana blends with healthy fats from cashews and fiber and protein from the ground chia seeds to create a thick, yogurt-like dish that’s creamy and naturally sweet.

Vegan Homemade Banana “Yogurt”

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds, ground
  • 2 tablespoons of raw cashews (approx. 20g)
  • squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • dash of cinnamon
  • dash of sea salt
  • touch of honey (optional, if not vegan)

Directions

Soak chia seeds for at least 20 minutes in 4 tablespoons of the almond milk. Set aside to gel.

Soak cashews in water for at least 20 minutes to soften.

In a high speed blender or food processor, combine all ingredients until smooth. Adjust almond milk liquid to make thinner or thicker to your desired taste.
