I have read about it, thought about it, dreamed of it and and have craved it. Finally last night I made it. I read a billion blogs and found what I thought would make the perfect vegan yogurt. The only regret I have now is not trying it 6 months ago when I started dreaming about it. One of the hardest things for as a vegan to give up was yogurt. My all time favourite breakfast is a parfait and what is a parfait without yogurt? Oh and the store bought vegan yogurt... terrible ( in comparison to this). So don't waist the time like I did. Get out your ingredients and make this.
