easiyo yogurt maker any good? or make your own? (merged)

boredjellybean

bump - really need to save some pennies & as a family of six we eat a lot of yogurt, can anyone help with the question about using easiyo as a started for the next batch ???

Yes you can Jellybean, no problem, I do it all the time though not with Easiyo, same principle.
Biffinet yogurt maker has 6 jars makes a litre and if you break one of the jars, 180g mustard pots make a good alternative.
Good to see you and family are eating healthy.

thank you so much I will be stocking up on milk powder & uht
we try our best - kids love yogurt for breakfast or as pudding with fruit

I get milk powder from Sainsbury (and Tesco same price)but wait for a £3 voucher.
So £1.15 to make 4 litres minus £3 on £20 spend and this time treble points.
Don't use liquid milk as well. Does EasiYo machine call for this.?

the easiyo is 1L water & 1sachet of their powder - I've seen people here using some of the last batch & some milk powder & then topping up with uht

Would probably make it richer and same principle. Yes OK to use from last batch to activate though I occasionally buy a new pot of Natural Yogurt .

Thanks for the tip for the milk powder Ken68. I use it in tea as well as yogurt so massive savings could be made.:T

I made up an Easiyo sachet last night using coconut water instead of tap water.

Gorgeous!

Will be trying it again soon with a normal starter and some milk powder

I'm doing slimming world and have bought the fat free natural yog sachets that are syn free. If I use some of the yog as a starter using uht and milk powder, will the yog I make still be fat free like the starter is?

Just bought an Easiyo to start making our own yoghurt. I can easily eat a 500g tub for lunch so I'm hoping I'm going to be improving my health and saving some money! DD has already made a batch using a sachet and she loves it, and I can't wait to try the greek style one.
