Cashews for Breakfast ... Enjoy Cashewgurt as a Yogurt Alternative

I was told about the Forager Project by a family member and was excited to try Cashewgurt as a yogurt alternative. I am always looking for healthy, gluten free foods to try. I shy away from high fat dairy as I am somewhat lactose intolerant so I figured this dairy free yogurt alternative would be a great product to try!

The Cashewgurt is thin like traditional yogurt and the unsweetend plain is a bit tart like traditional yogurt. I purchase unsweetend plain yogurt to control sugar as I usually add fruit and other mix-ins into the yogurt to add flavor.


If you are a Greek Yogurt fan, the texture will seem runny. To get used to it, prepare a bowl of 1/2 Greek Yogurt and 1/2 Cashewgurt to get used to the texture.




Yogurt is often my morning blank canvas. To the yogurt I add 1 cup of fruit and:

• 1 TBSP cinnamon or beet root powder or maca powder
• 1/4 cup nuts and/or seeds

Today I added peach and pepitas to 1.5 cups of Chasewgurt

New Dairy Products that are Lactose Free

If you have been avoiding dairy due to lactose intolerance, this is your re-entry point! 

YQ by Yoplait is a new product that will hit the shelves this summer! The product not only tastes great but it is also good for you! YQ has a smooth and silky texture and has less sugar than conventional Greek Yogurts as it starts with ultrafiltered milk. The result is 1 gram of sugar, 17 grams of protein, and a 99% lactose free product. Three facts many love to hear: More Protein, Less Sugar, Lactose Intolerant. If you have been avoiding yogurt, now might be the time to come back!

HINT: I enjoyed mine plain and with fresh organic strawberries. I could not tell that the sugar was reduced. I always enjoy my yogurt with cinnamon to add in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, reduce blood sugar.

CorePower by Fairlife is a lactose free high protein milk shake that is perfect for recovery after exercise. The products contain essential amino acids, calcium, and protein to refuel, recharge, and rehydrate the body.

HINT: I like to add some diced fruit and blend Core Power into a smoothie when I want "just a bit more".
