Hey there Amigos!

I’ve been asked for more Healthy & Vegan baby food recipes… So here is one of three more of my Baby Vegan’s favorites.

This first one derived from me looking for another Yummy way to sneak in those essential greens…

The idea came to me while staying at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas! The hotel had this huge, beautiful and shiny statue of Popeye that our toddler became totally fascinated with.

Your little ones will be sure to be strong to the finish while eating up this Yummy dish! 😉

Hey there amigos and welcome back!

I’ve shared a Yogurt Recipe before, but not one like this… This Strawberry Sauce took this Yummy Coconut Yogurt to a whole new level! Mmm mmm!

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time:  24 hours Makes: 1 quart Ingredients:

Strawberry Sauce:

🍓1 Basket of Organic Strawberries
🍓1 Organic Lemon Juiced & Strained
🍓8 Organic Raspberries  (Optional)
🍓High-speed Blender

Blend all three ingredients together and voila… Yummy Yummy Strawberry Sauce!

wpid-screenshot_2015-02-27-10-17-39-1.pngCoconut Yogurt Recipe:

🌱11 ounces of Homemade Coconut Milk or 2 cans full-fat Organic Coconut Milk.

🌱2 Vegan Probiotic Capsules.

Instructions:

🌱Blend coconut milk with contents of Vegan Probiotic capsules.

🌱Transfer to a 1 quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

🌱Store somewhere warm, like an oven or a window sill.

🌱After 24-48 hours, it should smell like yogurt. It may be runny, more like kefir than yogurt. If you prefer, leave it out longer.

🌱After 48-72 hours, it should be thick and have a more tangy flavor.
*Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

🌱Use an oven light to help create more warmth.

🍓If you want a sweeter yogurt, swirl in this Awesome Strawberry Sauce and Bammm! You are in Yummy Food Heaven!

🍓Please remember to use Vegan Probiotics, also remember some thicken better than others. Please experiment.

🍓The homemade coconut milk doesn’t work as well as Canned Coconut milk, but it is healthier and BPA Free.

The more you make this, the better you will get at it! Best of all, you and the kids will get your healthy Probiotics without having to eat all those additives and preservatives from store bought yogurt.

Have fun making this Yummy Yummy treat! Xoxo
