Coconut Yogurt Recipe: Dairy Free Yogurt in an Instant Pot

Fermented foods are an excellent way to get probiotics into your diet whether it’s savory sauerkraut or this coconut yogurt recipe. Coconut milk yogurt is a lifesaver for me since I’m on the AIP diet and can’t have any of the store bought dairy free yogurts because they have tons of junk in them.  Why dairy […]
