When I first started eating a plant-based diet, it was the 'substitutes' that I struggled with the most. So many shop bought dairy free yogurts are full of artificial ingredients and have an artificial flavour to match. This homemade yogurt is made from tofu and fresh fruit so is naturally high in protein, and the protein powder gives it an extra protein punch. I love this yogurt with my granola for breakfast, and as a sweet treat with some fresh strawberries and bananas for dessert.

You don't need any special equipment, yogurt-making supplies or yogurt maker for this recipe - just a high speed blender. It really is just as straightforward as blending all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender until smooth - no need to worry about the yogurt setting or yogurt cultures working, just blend and enjoy straight away.

Ingredients

The ingredients in this high protein vegan yogurt are wholesome and good for you. Choose a vegan protein powder that is made from natural ingredients. I have used banana and strawberry in this yogurt but you can switch these out for other fruits if you prefer. Don't be tempted to skip the cashew butter - this really adds to the creamy texture of the yogurt.

These simple ingredients should be readily available in larger grocery stores - although I did have to do a bit of hunting to find silken tofu. The type of tofu makes a difference to this recipe. Soft or silken tofu is necessary for the texture, and there's no need to press excess liquid out like you might be used to doing with firm tofu.

Assorted ingredients on a wooden board: perfect for a High Protein Vegan Yoghurt—featuring banana and frozen strawberries, lemon, oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, and tofu chunks.

You will need...

soft tofu (I used silken)
cashew butter
lemon juice
frozen bananas
frozen strawberries
vegan vanilla protein powder
vanilla extract
maple syrup

For exact quantities see the recipe card below.

Notes

The banana in this recipe means that the plant-based yogurt will discolour slowly with time so it is best eaten straight away rather than kept in the fridge. If you store it in the fridge for a day or two in an airtight container such as mason jars, it will still taste great, but it will have a grey-ish colour.

Serving Suggestions

Granola Topping: Add crunchy granola or oats for extra texture and fibre.
Fresh Fruit: Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, kiwi, or mango for added colour and nutrients.
Chia Seeds or Hemp Hearts: Sprinkle with chia seeds or hemp hearts for extra protein, omega-3s, and fibre.
Coconut Flakes: Add toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist and extra crunch.
Smoothie Bowl: Serve thicker in a bowl, topped with nuts such as chopped raw cashews, seeds, and fresh fruits as a filling breakfast or snack.
Drizzle Nut Butter: Drizzle almond or peanut butter for extra healthy fats and richness.
Dark Chocolate Shavings: Garnish with vegan dark chocolate shavings for an indulgent treat.
Ice cream: Serve in place of ice cream as a healthy, delicious vegan option for dessert.

High Protein Vegan Yogurt Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Fruit variations:

Mango and banana
Peach and banana
Blueberry and avocado (avocado provides similar thickness to banana)
Pineapple and banana
(For best results, always keep half the fruit as a thicker fruit like banana, avocado, or mango for a creamy texture.)

Nut butter substitutions:

Swap cashew butter for sunflower seed butter, almond butter, peanut butter, or tahini for variety or allergen-friendly options in this high-protein vegan yogurt.

Sweeteners:

Substitute maple syrup with agave syrup, date syrup, or coconut nectar for alternative natural sweeteners.

Protein powder variations:

Use chocolate, berry, or unflavoured vegan protein powders instead of vanilla to switch up the flavour.

FAQ's

Can I make this non-dairy yogurt ahead of time?

Yes, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir briefly before serving again. Remember the banana will have discoloured over time.

Can I freeze this dairy-free yogurt?

Yes, although I find tofu has a grainy texture if frozen and defrosted. Freeze it in ice cube trays or a freezer-safe container. Blend again when thawed for a smooth texture. Remember again the banana will discolour so the yogurt will lose it's pink colour.

What can I substitute for cashew butter?

Use sunflower seed butter, almond butter, peanut butter, or tahini as suitable alternatives, although this will change the flavour profile.

Do I have to use frozen fruit?

Frozen fruit gives the best creamy texture, but fresh fruit works too-add ice cubes if needed for thickness.

How do I make the yogurt thicker?

Use less liquid, more frozen banana or avocado, or chill the yogurt briefly before serving if you want the texture thicker, like vegan greek yogurt

Can I make this without protein powder?

Yes, the yogurt will be slightly lower in protein. Consider adding chia seeds or hemp heartsinstead.

What tofu should I use for vegan tofu yogurt?

Use soft or silken tofu for the creamiest consistency-avoid firm or extra firm.

Is this high protein vegan yogurt recipe gluten-free?

Yes, as long as you use gluten-free protein powder and check labels for cross-contamination.

Can I add probiotics to this vegan yogurt?

Yes, stir in vegan probiotic powder or open vegan probiotic capsules and add to the homemade vegan yogurt after blending to enhance gut health and include some beneficial bacteria.

How long does this high protein vegan yogurt last in the fridge?

Store refrigerated in an airtight container; it will last about 2-3 days, but is best fresh.
