Let’s talk yogurt basics.  You probably know that dairy yogurt is made with the milk from animals like cows, goats, or sheep. In these cases, the yogurt isn’t suitable for vegans because of the type of milk (animal milk) used to make it. 

So, what kind of yogurt is vegan? Ones made with almond, coconut, soy, or another plant-based milk.
