Some recipes are a happy accident.
And today’s awesome Yogurt is one of them!
I call it yogurt because that’s exactly what it tastes like – even though it contains no dairy, or starter and doesn’t require any fancy equipment like one of those yogurt makers.
So, how did this recipe come about?
Well, what I refer to as a happy accident was a simple case of a smoothie recipe that was a bit too thick – it wasn’t something I couldn’t even drink.
In fact, it was so rich, thick and creamy, that eating it with a spoon was the only option. Yum.
With the first bite, I knew right away that I was onto something.
The two secret ingredients are coconut milk and creamy avocado. (Trust me, this is a wicked combination!)
And the wonderful, yogurt-like tang comes from frozen mango and honey.
It’s really that simple!
My imagination went a step further as a leafed through the luscious-sounding recipes in Kris Carr’s “Crazy, Sexy Kitchen”.
(Note: Even though she caters to a mostly vegan crowd, that doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from these amazing recipes created by Chef Chad Sarno and others.
At least, I don’t let minor details like that keep me from trying new things).
After drooling over some of the photos – things like French Toast (which I love & haven’t had in years) or a Breakfast Scramble – what really caught my attention was the Breakfast Parfait.
There was just one small problem.
