Can we use natural applesauce instead of yogurt?

yes you can substitute yogurt with applesauce, non-fat sour cream, silken tofu or even soy yogurt. Add 1 teapsoon of vanilla extract when substituting.

It needs some acidity to get a little leavening. You might want to add a little lemon juice.

I believe that's an option stated on the package. I can't look at a box now, am at work, but pretty sure I remember that.

Yes but choose plain yogurt, no flavors or sugars added. I buy a pint of whole milk Greek yogurt and use it to make 4 or 5 batches of 1 quart yogurt. I tried the powder sample that came with the yogurt maker but I like the Greek yogurt starter more.

It works, yes, but you risk the chance of contamination from harmful bacteria using a pre-existing yogurt. This was the advice given via the SCD community of yogurt consumers. It's best to use a starter.

I added fruit to the jar before putting the yogurt in and that seemed to work. Otherwise you could just add it at the end.

I have put yogurt in my smoothie many times but never tried it by itself but I am sure it would be fine. Joint Vibrance has an orange juice taste to it so keep that in mind.

I use any live culture plain yogurt from the store, and make a mother culture with it as well so it lasts longer. Eventually you need new starter again as it loses strength after a few generations.

You may want to try this starter. It is especially made for non-dairy yogurt. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/vegan-dairy-free-yogurt-starter.htmlIt works amazingly well with the Edensoy organic Unsweetened soy milk. Open the milk box. Pour one packet of starter into the milk box. Shake. Pour into yogurt maker. Incubate. That's it.Eden Organic Soymilk, Unsweetened, 32 Ounce

You can use other culture. You can also use small amount of ready made yogurt from supermarket as a seed.

I just use regular plain 0% fat greek yogurt (Fage brand). Works fine. I have also used some of the homemade yogurt as a starter for the next batch - that worked fine too.

Use it as a condiment, not as a meal. You could rehydrate it with milk or water, but it won't taste like store bought yogurt.

i used a combination of half coconut milk with half cashew milk and it worked. note: whisked in one package of gelatin to the heated milk & 1-2T honey/coconut sugar to feed the yogurt cultures.

Yes, but it is very thin that way and doesn't seem to keep me satiated. If I use water, I add plain low fat yogurt to thicken it up a bit and sweet leaf stevia to help sweeten the plain yogurt. I'll switch it up a bit sometimes adding different berry blends. My preferential method is to mix with unsweetened almond milk and sometimes adding different berry blends.

Please tell me how I can do it? I just start with lactaid and add some yogurt? I dont know why this is such a hard thing to find on the internet. Do I need to add sugar if I dont want it sweet? Thanks

This machine makes great non dairy yogurt. There are many recipes, but I make mine with organic unsweetened Coconut yogurt, raw local honey, probiotics, and organic unflavored gelatin. I cook for 15 hours. This turns out a thick yogurt that I then add crushed fruit to when serving. Adding fruit prior works well also, I just prefer it afterwards.

No. Yogurt is a culture of edible micro-organisms that grow in a nutrient medium, which cow or soy milk is, and which water is not.

Interesting question! I love coconut milk, but I've never tried using it for yogurt. Any input?

Absolutely ! Have had organics in crisper with an apple and they lasted almost a week. Be sure to get firm berries to start. Don't wash till time to eat. Apple has saved me tons of $ on fresh fruits and vegs
