VEGAN MANGO CASHEW "YOGURT"

Hello everyone! It's Rita here. Remember the challenge we got from The Body Shop Portugal? The TBS team asked us to create fun vegan recipes inspired by some of their newest products. Our first creation was an Anti-inflammatory Ginger & Turmeric Syrup, a powerful ally to help us fight off those nasty colds and allergy sniffles of February. Then we came up with the Coffee & Pear Coffee Cake, the right treat to cheer the rainy, gloomy sundays of March. This time around, we're bringing you something fresher and lighter. A vegan cashew yogurt flavoured with fresh ripe mango that tastes like a summer getaway in the tropics. We were inspired by the deliciously smelling vegan body yogurts by The Body Shop. They smell so good you'd wish you could have them by the spoonful! Take that spoon and have some of our cashew yogurt instead, it's 100% healthy and digestion friendly.

We're still blown away by the versatility of raw cashews, even after having created dozens of "cheeses", "butters", "creams" and "cheesecakes" based on this magical nut. If you get yourself a powerful high speed blender and the right ingredients in the right proportions, you can make yourselves some of this flavourful creamy yogurt. After cooling down in the fridge for a few minutes, it starts to set into a rich greek yogurt-like texture. It's delicious as is and on its own, but we added a couple of spoonfuls of our Mango Chia Jam and some more fresh mango for a special breakfast treat. And you can get really creative with it: add it to your smoothies for extra creaminess, serve it over a fruit salad or freeze it in popsicle moulds! Give it a go. :)
