Can this machine be used to make soy yogurt for a vegan?

Yes, you can make soy yogurt however, since soy is a very thin milk, you'll have to add some thickening agents to get the yogurt to the right consistency. We recommend arrowroot or agar agar powder.

You also want to make sure you're using a starter that works on non-dairy milk.

Yes, I use it almost everyday with plain soy milk. I don't add any thickener but use organic plain soy milk and is creamy and delicious. The low fat soy milk may need thickening but not the regular soy milk. I use organic plain package soy milk .

Yes... in the booklet that come with it (or in my case I had to request the book sent in snail mail) says you can use Soy or Almond milks also,that will be my next project to try making the yogurt with Almond and soy milks.

For me I think it makes very small batches of soy, so it is not practical for a family of two or more people. The soymilk will be hot when it is ready and you have to wait for it to cool down to filter it with a cheesecloth or nutmilk bag. The sieve provided will not filter well. I find it easier to mix the soybeans and water with the regular mixer, strain the solution while it is cool, then heat the milk on stovetop. The most important thing is the soyapower will probably last you only past 90 days (which is their window of return) just like mine. It is unpractical and not well made to last.

I don't think it's impossible-I use them only to make soy milk. I soak thebeans overnight then use them in my soyjoy

The instructions say "you can substitute soy, almond or coconut milk for regular milk. Cooking time might need to be augmented for nondairy milk."

I'm not sure what a 220V machine is, but the Soyabella makes wonderful nut milk. I've had it for about a year now, and I haven't regretted my purchase. This machine, as well as the VitaMix, is an amazing appliances that is very resilient. Even with five kids using it, it has stayed in prime condition.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

I use one packet per half gallon of coconut milk.... I haven't tried with animal secretions but works great as a vegan yogurt starter...

I'm sorry I don't know, I looked this up on Yahoo! and found that soy milk can be frothed but that the quality will suffer due to the fat content. Hope this helps :-)

I don't think the machine cares what kind of milk you use as long as you have the packets of bacteria to mix with it and the 'milk' can handle being heated. I admit I have never tried them. I use it to make lactose free yogurt.

Sorry, I have not tried non-dairy yogurts. However, I can emphatically affirm that this machine makes great milk-based yogurt.

Yes you can make almond milk. It is very good. Just remember to push the mill button not the milk button. It's very fast.And my children can run it. We are happy with our Soyabella. Linda

The recipe calls for using plain yogurt which can be picked up at any grocery store. If a person desires to use spy milk then yet hey need to use soy yogurt.

I think so. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You make the yogurt separately (or just buy non-dairy yogurt) and pour it into this strainer. Yogurt turns into "Greek yogurt".

Instructions are included for making non-dairy yogurts. I have not tried it though. I did have good results with sour cream.

You need to use unprocessed soymilk for this machine (You can't use processed milk to make tofu in general). To get this milk, you need to use a soy milk maker which is quite a budget. What I use now and is working really great is to use a soyflour that I buy from wholefoods to make the milk easily (it has to be unroasted soyflour though). Just mix one part of soyflour to 3 or four parts of water and bring to boil on low heat while wisking it slowley. Let simmer for few minuts and continue wisking and make sure it will not boil over. Whallaaaa ... you have a great and cheap soy milk. You can use (but you don't have to) a strainer or cheese cloth to strain it if you have any pulp or so..... This milk works great with this machine. I also found that you can use lemon juice or vinegar or even lemon salt to get the milk to coagulat nicely instead of using Nigari. I didn't try to use it in this machine yet and see how the final product will look/taste like. It adds some acidety to the taste of the milk, so you may use it if you are creating flavoured tofu with soysauce or other flavour..

Yes. Your texture would be different. If you can find a rice yogurt from the grocery store you can use that as your starter culture. Otherwise use coconut, almond or soy, then reserve a cup of your yogurt each time you make a batch to use as a starter for future batches.

Amazon.com sells it. I saw it when I did a general search for yogurt makers. Thanks for answering my question.
