Cantaloupe Lemon Coconut Yogurt Jar. This recipe includes how to make your own coconut yogurt, it’s easy and just like Greek yogurt – those of you who are fans of that texture, but prefer plant-based yogurt.
I say “faux” because no fermentation is involved, so technically it’s not fermented yogurt but I do add probiotics so it’s close! And faster to make. I add a touch of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

INGREDIENTS
makes about 1 cup
- 1 can (13.6 oz) lite coconut milk (I use this brand)
- 2 tsps probiotic powder/capsules (see tips below)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup fruit (I served it with cantaloupe slivers here)
METHOD
Stir all the ingredients to make the yogurt. Do not blend this one friends, the metal blades can damage the probiotics.
Cover the yogurt container with a paper towel to let in air, and store at room temperature for about a day. Some folks wait longer.
Serve with fruit, and or any other lovely weekend breakfast jar! Want some ideas? Blend with berries to make pink or purple, use matcha to make green or blue if you are lucky enough to find blue matcha. Make into popsicles, smoothie bowls, parfaits and more. Enjoy!

Notes on choosing the right Probiotic capsule:
- You want to make sure you have enough live bacteria, I use about 200mg bacteria per 2-3 cups liquid
- Be sure the probiotic contains common fermenting bacteria such as bulgaricus, acidophilus and lactobacillus.
- Vegans need to be careful of lactobacillus because it is grown on a dairy source: I use this vegan brand of probiotic, 1 capsule has about 235mg.
