Almond Yogurt

part of: Almond

Almond yoghurt is a dairy-free alternative to traditional yoghurt, made by fermenting almond milk with live bacterial cultures. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavour and a creamy texture, though generally thinner than dairy yoghurt.

It’s commonly eaten as a breakfast or snack item, served with fruit and granola, or used in smoothies. Flavoured varieties come in options like vanilla, berry, and coconut. Almond yoghurt has become a staple in Australian supermarkets as demand for plant-based dairy alternatives has grown.

It works as a straight swap for dairy yoghurt in most cold applications, though it behaves differently when heated and may split in cooking.

How it's made

Almonds are blanched, ground, and blended with water to produce almond milk. The milk is strained, then inoculated with live bacterial cultures — typically Lactobacillus and Streptococcus strains — and left to ferment at a controlled temperature. Thickeners such as tapioca starch or pectin are often added for body, along with flavourings and sweeteners. The mixture is then packaged and refrigerated.
