You might be asking yourself how yogurt can be dairy free? I personally am a big fan of dairy products made from pastured animals, especially raw cheese and yogurt. However, today I wanted to create a dairy free treat for those of you who can not tolerate dairy well.
So to answer the question, this dairy free vanilla yogurt recipe is made using coconut milk, vanilla, arrowroot powder and lightly sweetened with raw honey.
Combined with blueberries, this is the perfect summer treat – creamy, fruity and ice cold! Not only that, but this incredibly refreshing dessert is also packed with vitamins, antioxidant and healthy fats. Enjoy!

Im soooo happy to have found your blog/book. No joke. I’m born and raised in big island but moved to Colorado for school about 3 years ago. My favorite dessert in the world is chocolate haupia pie! But since I eat very clean, and make all my cheats into clean versions and no where in Colorado serves legit haupia (anyways) I’ve been without it for about a year now. I always tell my boyfriend about it, and have tried to figure out how to change it into a healthier version without success, I called him screaming with excitement when I found your recipe. I was wondering if xanthum gum works the same as arrow root powder as a thickner?
Thank you for the kind words Brit! I have not tested this recipe using a different thickener and it’s best if you follow the recipe exactly, However, in place of the arrowroot, I would try using unflavored, grass fed gelatin. About 2 teaspoons may be enough.
