Garlic-Herb Yogurt (Vegan)
That neon, dessert-flavored, gelatinous goop that comes in a plastic cup isn’t what first comes to mind when I think of yogurt. My childhood included garlicky yogurt on pasta, with vegetables—or plain, with spoonfuls of honey. And OK, maybe I’d eat a key lime pie yoplait from time to time. In the US, the non-dairy yogurt market is growing. But here? Not so much. Let me show you how to keep your (vegan) yogurt game strong.
