First, soak 1/3 cup organic cashews in spring water overnight.
Ingredients: 4 fresh young Thai coconuts, organic hemp seeds, organic coconut oil, 2 organic lemons, organic maple syrup (grade B) and an organic vanilla bean.
Crack all four coconuts. I used a meat clever to whack a square on the top and pry the top off.
Pour the milk from 2 coconuts into the vitamix, save the milk from the other 2 for the I Can Do Anything Elixer (recipe to follow). Scrape the coconut meat from all four coconuts into the vitamix. Be care full not to get any husk or rind in your yogurt, it ruins the smooth, creamy texture.
Blend milk and meat until smooth.
Add soaked cashews and hemp seeds.
Juice 2 lemons, pull out the seeds and add to the mix, another great place for your little chief to help!
Add 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil and 3 tablespoons organic maple syrup. We have also used honey and dates with the pit pulled out, all three are delicious sweeteners.
Scrape the black out of an organic vanilla bean. I use a paring knife, cut the bean lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the inside.
Blend all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy.
I pour three quarters of the yogurt in to a glass pirex with a lid and put it in the refrigerator. With the remaining quarter I add whatever fruit I have on hand, today we used about a cup and a half combined organic strawberries and raspberries.
Blend again until your fruit is the size of chunks you like. Yogurt will thicken a little as it cools. If you like a thicker yogurt, add a quarter cup chia seeds, soaked for 20 minutes is a cup of your coconut milk, before the last blend. Garnish with orange mint and berries. Enjoy for breakfast, snack or a healthy dessert!
Serves 6-8
