Start your mornings with this delicious Vegan yogurt bowl with nut-free granola and fruit of your choice!
Being a Vegan with allergies can be difficult, but it also takes creativity. As a Vegan allergic to peanuts/tree-nuts, I can fully acknowledge and say that a lot of Vegan products on the market contain some type of nut. I would say most popular nut used in many Vegan products are cashews & almonds.
Also in general, most store bought granolas contain nuts. It is rare to find a nut free granola. I usually will make my own as it is super easy to make and easy to control what you want to add.
So I am really excited about Daiya’s Coconut Cream Yogurt Alternative. It is one of the few yogurts on the market that is completely nut free (as well as all of Daiya’s products). They are lower in sugar compared to many vegan yogurt alternatives on the market, and real fruit is used in their flavors.
The flavors include: vanilla bean, plain, peach, strawberry, blueberry & black cherry. In this recipe I went with the vanilla bean and let me tell you there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the little specks from the vanilla bean in the yogurt.
Daiya yogurt’s have live vegan cultures and vitamin D & B12. They are also soy & gluten free if you are intolerant to any of those allergens. The fruit varieties have up to 9 grams of sugar using fruit and vegan cane sugar, with the plain having only 3 grams of sugar.
To pair with the yogurt, I have created a recipe for these nut-free granola clusters. It’s easy to make and perfect to prep for the entire week/up to 2 weeks.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe!
