I couldn’t decide if this recipe was more like mousse or yogurt. I decided on yogurt just because I don’t exactly see this dish as a dessert. If you are a yogurt lover than this Mango Strawberry Yogurt is sure to hit the spot! I used to love yogurt but being lactose intolerant doesn’t make eating yogurt very fun.
When I got back from Greece last year, I craved Greek yogurt. For some reason the dairy in Europe didn’t bother me. It was the craziest thing! I came back to America thinking I’d been cured of my dairy issues. After diving spoon first into Greek yogurt stateside, I discovered I was far from cured. This past year I’ve tried numerous yogurts to see if any would work for me. I finally came to the conclusion that I just needed to give up or make my own. So I decided to make my own! The best part of this mango strawberry yogurt is it is not only dairy-free but you don’t need a yogurt machine or a yogurt starter.

What coconut mile do you recommend?
So sorry for the spelling error…What coconut MILK do you recommend?
These look amazing. Thanks for sharing with us! Turning to paleo one thing to give up is dairy but now I have found this beauty of a recipe I can enjoy a yogurt again without feeling guilty. Have you tried any other fruits together?
Thank you so much! I missed yogurt too. I’ve also tried raspberries. It works great with a lot of different fruits, just substitute 1 cup of fruit.
