Almond Yogurt

What Is Almond Yogurt?

Almond yogurt is a plant-based yogurt made by fermenting almond milk with probiotic bacterial cultures. Types without thickeners can have a more fluid texture than dairy yogurt.

Its taste is slightly nutty-sweet; because almond milk is naturally thin, most commercial producers add a gum-based thickener to bring the texture up.
