    I have but I thought it would probably work out about the same price by the time you have bought milk etc? Does it? I mean what exactly would I need. The other problem is the DD takes them in her lunchbox for school, might be tricky. But could still buy a few for that purpose


    I find it cheaper overall but we tended to buy luxury yogs... I doubt a pint of milk for HM yogurt costs more than a pint of yogirt:confused:

    If you google home made yogurt there's loads of sites. As for B - get her a little lock and lock tub. They are totally leak proof and if yoou've made fruit puree just dollop it on top and she can stir it in when she eats it a la fruit corners;)

    28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%

    Another thing - if you make plain yogurt and stabilise it with cornflour you can freeze it and use it to cook with (marinades, curries, cakes...)

    You are right, will have a look. Can you make low fat yog?

    Oh and if you start it with cream instead of milk you get creme fraiche;)

    font of all knowledge you are Luc..thanks for that, think its something I should really consider, especially with all the packaging that we throw away from yogs, its not good on that front too.
