vegan banana cashew yogurt

This "yogurt" of some sorts is not something that is trying to hard in order to be vegan. Yes, it doesn't happen to contain milk or eggs, but instead, it utilizes the creamy texture of the bananas and the wholesome substance of the cashews. I like this recipe because its painfully simple and doesn't require any added sweetening. Although I bake an incredible amount, recipes that require cups and cups of sugar make my teeth hurt. With this one, however, all the sweetness comes from the bananas.

I've always been a plain yogurt kind of gal. I like my yogurt tangy and rich. I'm definitely not a low-fat kinda girl either, which explains why I never try those flavored yogurts. I've found an exception. This yogurt is kind of banana flavored, but its a natural banana flavor. It doesn't hit you over the head with itself. 

*That being said, I did have to modify the original recipe because the yogurt was too sweet for me. I added a bit more of the lime/lemon juice. If you prefer the original, only add a tablespoon of lime juice.
