What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup of raw cashews (to substitute milk)
- 1/2 cup of organic (without pesticides) blueberries

- 1/4 cup of dates (approximately 3) to taste for sweetness
- 4 cups of high-quality water (purified or spring)
- Blender
Instructions
- Add cashews, dates, blueberries and lemon juice into the blender.
- Add just enough water to wet the ingredients.
- Cover blender and turn it on high for a few seconds.
- Add more water, depending on desired consistency.
- Add banana, cover blender, and continue to blend on high for a few more seconds.
- Your vegan blueberry banana yogurt is now ready to enjoy. You can store it for 2-3 days in your refrigerator, however, because it contains lemon juice, the longer it is stored, the more tart it will become.
