Anyone used almond milk? How long did it take?

I've not made almond milk yogurt myself, but a quick Net search convinces me that almond milk yogurt is certainly possible in the Dash unit since the incubation temperature in the recipes I found was in the 100-110 degree range, which is the temp maintained by the machine. As to how long, the recipes I found all call for homemade almond milk, which adds an extra step; but other than that, the times for incubation and refrigeration were about the same as for dairy yogurt. You will also have to add thickening agents because of the absence of the dairy proteins that coagulate to thicken dairy yogurt. Hope that helps. Best wishes, Bill

Anyone have basic non dairy milk recipe's work with this machine? I would love to try coconut milk in a can, premade cashew milk or almond milk, a probiotic capsule and that's it. I have had it work in the oven with light on, incubating for 24 hours, but can't get it to work in this machine.

Yes, I just happened to have almond milk on hand, so I gave it a whirl. Works perfectly fine.

I have only made almond milk. If you want me to tell you how to do that, I would be happy to.

No, someone just asked me about soy milk as well. I haven't tried any of those. Whole milk, 2% work the best. I tried skim and it never set up after 10+ hours in the yougurt maker. The instruction manual only give recipes for regular milk with vatious milkfat contents.

I heat almond milk for about a minute in the microwave, in a glass measuring cup. Frothed up fine for me.

I only make soy yoghurt and it works well but I have friends that use coconut milk. I incubate for at least 12 hours to develop enough tartness. Sometimes I leave it for as much as 24 hours and it's fine. I don't bother to boil the soy milk and I never add sweeteners or thickeners. Full fat soy milk makes the best.

Yes, the milk frother works with almond milk. That's what we use, and it works quite well!

Everyone is different. Could take 2 weeks by using it as directed. I only drink 1 cup a day & notice a difference, but I have an oversupply, so this just helps maintain my milk.

I never tried to make almond milk but it does pulverize things to the point of almost turning onions into a liquid. A blender might be better for almond milk.

I have yet to use whole milk. I know that 1% and soy milK work well. My wife used almond milk the other day and nothing happened.

I've been using it for almond milk and half and half. It works better on half and half but still works ok with the almond milk. Works best when the milk is warmed up too.

I use Nature's Promise Organic (and GMO free) vanilla soy. It whips up beautifully! I've never tried almond milk, though we drink that in our cereal. I just prefer the thicker soy milk for my AeroPress coffee.

Either work very well. I'm lactose intolerant so I use unsweetened almond milk however the low cal juice is also great. I add a banana and yogurt or frozen fruit for a filling and tasty shake!

I bought this item to make nut butter for my raw food restaurant where we make our own almond butter. The most efficient way I have found to do this is to first process the nuts in a cuisanart until they are pretty fine, then add them to the stone grinder. We add almond oil for a smooth consistency. If you leave the top of and help it along with a spatula for the first five minutes and then let it go for another five. Another review said you shouldn't let it run for more than a half hour because the motor isn't that strong and it usually takes less than ten minutes to make about 4 cups of almond butter.

I use almond and whole milk...both are great. The whole milk foams really well when I only do one serving.
