Dairy-Free Frozen Coconut Yogurt
Back when I was a vegetarian, every single one of my breakfasts consisted of a big ol’ bowl of yogurt. With a handful of nuts for “protein”, a lot of sliced fruit, some shredded coconut and maybe some chocolate chips if I was feeling naughty. I thought this was healthier than cereal, but it was still a heaping helping of sugar. Not gonna lie, I’ve kinda missed those meals (if not the way they made me feel), especially as the summer heat rears its ugly head. Welp, enter this super-simple Dairy-Free Frozen Coconut Yogurt. With only three ingredients and about five minutes of actual work, it’s one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. It just requires some patience and the right kitchen tools: an Instant Pot or yogurt maker and an ice cream maker for churning. They’ll do all the heavy lifting for you!
You should be able to use any multi-strain probiotic for this recipe. The one I used is I use Kirkman Pro-bio Gold. You’ll also need sterilized mason jars to accommodate about two quarts of yogurt –you can use two one-quart jars or four one-pint jars to get the job done. My only other note? Once you’ve refrigerated the yogurt, your coconut milk may separate so it’s really thick on top and thin on bottom. Give it a good stir before transferring it to the ice cream maker, and you’ll be good to go!

When you’re dealing with fatigue, pain, or illness, eating healthy is hard enough without having to multitask while cooking or clean up a huge mess afterwards.

There’s an intro to explain the AIP and one-pot cooking and the preparation is so much simpler when you’ve only got one thing to keep track of. Plus, you’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you, like my Chicken Pot Pie Soup, satisfying green smoothies, and colorful salads! The e-book is now available for $9.99.

You have a link in your recipe to get the coconut cream. How many packages of the coconut cream would this recipe take?
About 4 1/2 7-ounce packages, though you could get away with less if you thinned out the cream a little (some brands of coconut cream contain more liquid than others and this one tends to be a little on the dry side). Because it’s a frozen treat, this recipe is very forgiving!
