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.

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?
vanessa says
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.
