So it makes a lot of sense for us to make our own yogurt. Yogurt was one of the first foods we gave them, and now their standard breakfast is “nogurt and oats.” It’s super healthy, filling, and sugar-free.īecause of this, we go through a lot of yogurt a week - a gallon or more. It’s actually the go-to breakfast for our children. But for a snack I enjoy a bowl of plain yogurt with cereal on top (or chocolate chips! ssh!). Nowadays my typical breakfast is an egg, oatmeal, and homemade whole wheat toast. Occasionally I’d buy the flavored kind in the store. When my husband and I got married I learned that he had an unusual breakfast: plain yogurt with dry oats on top. In my single teaching days I grabbed a quick breakfast of cereal and toast. I loved my cereal with thick whole milk, but if the only milk in the house was dry instant, you can bet I had it plain. You can also add a tablespoon of dried milk powder at the start to thicken it if you like.What was your regular breakfast when you were growing up? Mine was a bowl of cereal - Cheerios, Chex, Corn Flakes, Crispix (no sugar cereals allowed, but I made up for that with a heaping spoon from the sugar bowl) - and a slice or two of my my mom’s homemade bread, toasted, with butter.

When it comes out you can either chill it and serve as it is or strain it to get a yog that is similar to greek yogurt, you need a seive and a piece of muslin to line it. You need to keep the milk at this temperature for around 6 hours, the easiest way without a machine is in a vacuum flask, the sort with a wide mouth or you can improvise with a bowl wrapped in blankets in an airing cupboard etc.Īll you needed is take 2 teapoons of natural yogurt, mix it with the amount of milk that your flask or bowl will hold (I pint is a managable amount) and put it in the flask (or whatever ) for around 6 hours. The milk needs to be at around 100 degrees, you can buy a yog thermometer but you can get by with sticking your finger in the milk, it should be on the hot side of warm, hard to describe but slightly uncomfortable I'd say.

You can use either full fat milk or semi or skimmed, it depends on your preference. Right - you need to either boil ordinary milk (this kills the bugs that will harm the yogurt bacteria) or use UHT milk. But you'd only need one so at 39p it's still cheaper than Easyyo and someone will finish off the fruity bit I expect. They will be as good as the Lidl's I expect just more expensive. Mor Edit: If you haven't a Lidl's try and find some Muller Healthy Balance corners. I'm using skimmed milk but my partner uses full cream and she thinks this lidl's probiotic as a starter is the best ever. By the time it's been diluted with a litre of milk you can hardly taste the hint of vanilla. If they don't have any with natural at the top use the vanilla probiotics with fruit at the bottom. I haven't tried using Greek Yoghurt as a starter but if no one else comments I'll give it a go and report back.Įdit Yes I just used the natural yoghurt from the top as you only need two tablespoons for one litre. Try to take it off the heat as soon as it's set (perhaps a bit before as it tends to carry on yogging as it cools down) and this also keep the sweetness. If you make yoghurt regularly like I do and use it straight away, (as I have to I'm on a permanent anti-biotic) then it's nice a sweet as it is. This is what I used one of and it's now been going a month. If you've a lidl's near you their probiotic yogs with fruit at the bottom have an assortment of flavours one of which has natural yoghurt on the top of the fruit. I was only planning to buy the mixes occasionally to 'refresh' my starter.Įither way - I'm happy with the result - remember my original request was for a foolproof way of making yogurt, and even using the mixes, it is half the price of Costco Greek Yogurt! I wouldn't disagree - my second batch was started with the remains of the first, and consisted of 1 litre of UHT (full fat) and half a cup of skimmed milk powder - total price not too different from yours. Yoghurt is good, I'm sure mine is just as good, possibly healthier and very much cheaper. I can see no reason why this lidl's probiotic won't go on and on needing replacement only when I go away or do something silly. I did buy one Rachels dairy yoghurt after xmas but had to replace it after I came back from holiday. I haven't tasted any yoghurt made from Easyyo but I very much doubt it can be better than mine.

Remember this is the cost of the initial batch only so the continuing cost is only that of the UHT milk plus skimmed milk 38p per litre. So my litre of yoghurt costs 53p plus the cost 5minutes in the microwave to raise the to yogging temperature and 4 hrs keeping warm in the yoghurt maker. Lidl's probiotic yohurt starter one of 4 15p
