Homemade Coconut Yogurt

Blog Featured Image (1200 × 628 px) (1)

Coconut Yogurt is so delicious and easy to make. It is one of my favorite things to top onto mung daal (if using for savory dishes, exclude the vanilla and maple syrup) or to eat with berries and nuts! Plus, it helps keep the digestive system in check. I especially love it around the early spring/summer months. ⁠
⁠
Add coconut milk, probiotic capsules, vanilla bean and maple syrup to your shopping list—it’s the perfect time to make this cool, sweet recipe! 🥄

Ingredients: 

  • 1 14-ounce can of full fat coconut milk or 1 can of heavy coconut whipping cream
  • 2 capsules of your favorite probiotics
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean powder
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • Dash of sea salt

Instructions:

  • Add the coconut milk to a food processor or blender and blend until it is all one consistency. Pour into a glass jar.
  • Empty your probiotic capsules into the yogurt and stir until smooth.
  • Cover the jar with a cheesecloth and a rubber band to secure.
  • Let the yogurt sit on your countertop for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours is okay).
  • Once the yogurt has reached a thick consistency, add the remaining ingredients and store in the refrigerator. Yogurt will get thicker while it is in the refrigerator as well.

This is the rhythm of September. 🍃 Ayurveda rem This is the rhythm of September. 🍃 Ayurveda reminds us that in Northern Hemisphere, we may begin to feel the first whispers of vata season as the energy of summer softens and the body starts craving more nourishment, more boundaries and a little more quiet.⁠
⁠
This is the perfect time to cool any lingering pitta heat while tending to your gut, your nervous system and your inner world. ⁠
⁠
In Ayurveda, autumn isn't about doing more. It's about taking the walk through the woods, saying no without guilt, cooking up something warm and spicy on the stove and letting your heart get a little softer.⁠

Late summer mess and living for it 🌶️🫑🍄 Late summer mess and living for it 🌶️🫑🍄🥕🫚🍅
September is such a threshold month in Ayurveda. 🍂 We begin to move into the cool, dry, mobile qualities of vata, which means many women start noticing more anxiety, dryness, irregular digestion, trouble sleeping or feeling a little less rooted. It’s time to lean into warmth and nourishment, and favor foods that build steadiness.⁠
⁠
(For my Southern Hemisphere ladies… you’re moving toward spring and increasing pitta, so your bodies may be craving lighter and more cooling support. ❤️)⁠
⁠
Some of my favorite September foods:⁠
⁠
• Lentil soup is warming, grounding and nourishing for digestion as the air turns cooler⁠
• Nuts bring healthy fats and density, helping counteract vata’s dry, light qualities⁠
• Ghee lubricates tissues, supports digestion and mitigates dryness⁠
• Cooking your apples makes them softer and easier to digest in autumn⁠
• Sweet potato is grounding and helps build stability in the nervous system⁠
• Onions help stimulate sluggish digestion as temperatures drop⁠
• Oats are heavy, warming and comforting, making them ideal for balancing early vata season⁠
• Garlic stimulates agni and helps keep digestion strong⁠
• Dates are sweet, building and nourishing for depleted energy and dryness⁠
• Potatoes provide grounding carbohydrates when paired with healthy fats and spices⁠
• Chicken is warming and strengthening, helping rebuild tissues and sustain energy⁠
• Sesame seeds are one of Ayurveda’s favorite foods for vata because of their oily, warming qualities⁠
• Carrots offer sweetness and earthiness while supporting nourishment through seasonal transition⁠
• Basmati rice is easy to digest and pairs well with warming spices during autumn⁠
• Salmon provides nourishing fats that help counter dryness in the skin, joints and nervous system⁠

You can also use apples, apricots, pears and cherr You can also use apples, apricots, pears and cherries (as many fruits as you like!) in this beautifully warming winter fruit stew. Reserve the extra liquid for desserts, or even drink as a tea. 

As September winds down in the Northern Hemisphere, Ayurveda reminds us that our digestion begins to shift along with the seasons. As vata starts to rise, agni (our digestive fire) can become a little more delicate, making this the perfect time to welcome in warm, cooked, gently spiced foods that nourish both the gut and the nervous system. 

Sweet, sour and salty tastes become especially supportive right now because they help ground, hydrate and steady the body. This cozy stewed fruit recipe is one of my favorite ways to do that!
