Recipe Notes
I've adapted this recipe to make it vegan and used vegan yogurt and lemon juice. Depending on the variety of your yogurt (coconut, almond, or soy) add lemon juice to taste. The quantity of yogurt required may change, too. Just know, that this drink is not meant to be too sweet. But, if it is too tart, add sweetener to taste.
