18. I'm thinking if I can't find it in the store, I can just make my own, since it's the protein I want.

I make almond milk from almonds, and could add the culture for the raw method in the second recipe for almond yogurt. The idea of a coconut version sounded so good. Just not enough protein.

I feel, and even look so much better when I eat yogurt, as I'm more hydrated and relaxed. That's part of what keeps me going back to yogurt (dairy).

Thanks for giving me this idea. If I have success making this with almond milk, I'll post it. Even if it comes out thin, I can add it to smoothies.
