This raspberry “yogurt” is a sugar-free dessert that is naturally sweetened: we use pure unprocessed stevia and fruit to sweeten it, along with the raspberries. You can enjoy this all natural plant-based yogurt without any of the added guilt.
This isn’t a traditional yogurt (there isn’t any culture in this recipe), but the chia seed does thicken it up quite a bit so the consistency and taste are much like any dairy-free yogurt (without any of the additives or processing). It is also incredibly quick and easy to make and goes really well with our overnight chia oatmeal too.
This yogurt does not contain any additives, preservatives, or crazy thickeners or sweeteners. This recipe makes about 6 servings.
Dairy-free raspberry vegan yogurt
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fruit and/or vegetable juice pure cold-pressed juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp stevia liquid extract
- 1-2 tsp chia powder aka chia flour or ground chia seed

- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine raspberries and tofu until smooth.
- Pour in the juice and continue to blend until smooth.
- Divide the mixture into containers or bowls, and place in fridge to chill for 4 hours or overnight.
