#FORAGERS YOGURT HOW TO#
Want to learn how to make your own dairy-free yogurt, check out this video from Kitchfix! Where to Find Forager Project Products I love what they stand for and appreciate and value how much TLC they put into their products with a focus on quality, sustainability and taste. I love Forager’s brand promise on the side of the yogurt container: The vanilla version contains real vanilla bean that you can see instead of artificial vanilla flavor. And it is! They have plain, lemon, blueberry, vanilla and strawberry flavors, which are some of the most popular and familiar. I’ve used cashews to make dairy-free cheese dips, cheesecake, and even caramel dipping sauce, so I had a feeling a cashew-based yogurt would be equally delicious and creamy. Instead of cow’s milk, cashews are the base of Forager’s yogurts. They’re also organic, not genetically modified, and the plain, unsweetened yogurt (perfect in smoothies and sauces!) contains only two grams of sugar per serving, which is the lowest I’ve seen on the market. It’s an upgrade, too, because instead of using artificial flavors and colors, Forager uses ingredients like turmeric (to make the lemon yogurt yellow) and beet juice to make the strawberry yogurt pink. What I love about this yogurt is that it has the texture and creaminess of the yogurt I used to eat. Then, this past September when I was at the expo, I was stoked to find out they had added a new product to their line – dairy-free yogurt. I had the opportunity to try their products at the Natural Products Expo and became a fan. I had all but given up on finding a replacement.įortunately, just over two years ago, I came upon the company Forager Project after seeing their line of nut milks (i.e., almond, cashew, etc.) at a grocery store in San Diego.
#FORAGERS YOGURT FULL#
They were full of processed ingredients had weird, gelatinous consistencies or just didn’t taste very good. None of the dairy-free options on the market were very appealing. I was frustrated that I couldn’t find a replacement for the smooth and creamy texture and dessert-like taste only yogurt seemed to have. Once I realized yogurt was contributing to my health issues and saw how little nutritional value most brands contained, I cut it out. A few years ago, an organization called the Cornucopia Institute came out with a ranking system of yogurts, placing my top two brands – Dannon and Yoplait – at the bottom of the list of 129 brands. I wasn’t paying attention to all of the sugar and other processed ingredients that were making their way into my daily snack. I had bought into the media hype that yogurt was a health food. Like many people, I took yogurt to work nearly every day as part of my lunch or for an afternoon snack. My journey led me to find this dairy-free option I’m sharing with you today.
Before finding out about these issues, I was even considering yogurt making at home but unfortunately I won’t be able to benefit from doing this activity anymore which is sad as I think I would’ve enjoyed doing it.Įver since then, I’ve been on a quest to find alternatives to foods I used to love but could no longer eat if I wanted to feel my best. Finding out that they were one of the root causes of my health issues was upsetting. Like most of you, I loved cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and other dairy products.
#FORAGERS YOGURT SKIN#
Through that process, I discovered that dairy products and gluten-containing foods were triggers for years of congestion, bloating, gas, skin problems, indigestion, and sore throats. I wanted to get off medications and not be bothered by recurring health issues.
About six years ago, I went through a protocol called an elimination diet to get to the root of why I wasn’t feeling my best.
