Am I able to make yogurt from almond milk?

I believe it is the type of starter you use and not the machine that determines what "milk" products you can use. I know the yogourmet brand says you can use other milks like soy and almond... hope this helps.

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

So far I used lactaid 2% and are going to try fat free milk and I have no trouble with these milks. I can't see any problem that would happen with almond milk if you use a good base yogurt as starter. I use plain greek yogurt for base. I love this machine and wish you luck

personally, I would stay away from soy - because soy (& corn) are the top 2 GMO foods.......... & are in just about everything.......... UGH.

I make my yogurt with raw milk, which you cannot reuse, if you make your yogurt with pasteurized milk, you can reuse it.

Yes, you can make yogurt in the dehydrator. Here is a link: http://ezinearticles.com/?Making-Yogurt-in-a-Food-Dehydrator&id;=3907749

I did make almond milk with it. It came out a little thick. It doesn't have a setting to make an unheated milk like you usually would for almond milk. Unless the juice button is it. There are no instructions for it. I just used the soymilk button. I returned mine and got one that is a lot less work and has a mill button for making raw nut milks. The milk turns out way smoother too. I have the soyabella now.

I make nut milk by soaking raw almonds in purified water until they are barely sprouted. They crack open and you will see a small sprout peeping out. I take the sprouted almonds and put them in my vitamix and add more purified water depending on the amount of almonds you used and blend until the consistency of milk. Start with one cup of almonds and cover with purified water until sprouted over night and then blend with soak water and add water 1/2 cup at a time until it is the consistency you desire. Then strain with the nut bag. Save any nut debrie and add to cookies etc.

You may also want to check the recent thread on making yogurt using soymilk. It turns out that lactose is not essential to the process.

Yes, it should work satisfactorily with Almond Milk, but some brands of milk froth better than others.

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

I haven't tried it yet but I just spent 2 hours on a German forum discussing this topic. Short answer: Yes, you definitely can! Long answer: There seem to be thousands of ways how to do it; l-free milk and l-free yogurt, l-free milk and normal yogurt (the bacteria are fermenting lactose, so there won't be that much left), soy milk and soy yogurt, soy milk and l-free yogurt, l-free milk and soy yogurt, and so on... The result mostly depends on the yogurt, so either spend some time on Google to find out what people suggest or spend some time in the kitchen to figure it out. Rice milk doesn't work that well because it has a very low protein content (0.3% compared to 3.7% in soy and cow milk). People were trying to use rice milk and add extra protein but that needs some more research...

I do not believe you can. I know, and have made, ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically.

You can make ANY type of nut milk. I have made almond, cashew, coconut and soy milks that are fantastic. I would recommend that you soak the nuts overnight in filtered water. I have made almond milk without soaking but it seems to be creamier after a long soaking. I also put my nut milks through a mesh nut bag to get out the smallest pieces left behind that the strainer does not capture. You can also make really good soups in minutes. I love this machine and use it daily.

Sure Patricia. I haven't actually made almond milk with it yet, but I put whole almonds in my green drinks and I get a smoothe finish every time. So have fun making your milk my dear. Carol.

Yes, I just made some this morning with these almonds and have used these before for almond milk. They make it tasty!

I am on a hunt to discover the best way to make yogurt from nuts and seeds, as I am allergic to milk and soy :o(. I discovered an answer to your question: (from the owner of Pomona Pectin) I don't have any experience making yogurt from nut milk. When people are making yogurt from cow or goat milk and it isn't coming out thick enough, I tell them how to add pectin to help thicken it . I tell them to use 1 teaspoon of pectin per quart of milk. You might need to use a little more than that. Like 1 1/2 teaspoons or perhaps 2 teaspoons. I tell them they don't need calcium water because their milk has calcium in it naturally. If you have calcium fortified nut milk then you don't need to add calcium water either but if you don't, then you would add 4 teaspoons of calcium water per quart of milk. When you have heated the milk to its hottest point, take 1 cup of the hot milk and put it in a blender or food processor. Add the pectin, vent the lid, and run the machine for a good solid minute until the pectin powder is totally dissolved. No lumps at all just perfectly smooth. Then add the pectinized milk in with the rest of the milk and stir well. Then proceed with your yogurt recipe. Sincerely, Connie Sumberg, Owner Workstead Industries P.O.

no, almond milk does not contain milk or any actual dairy. Almond milk is made from almonds by soaking them in water, grinding them, then straining the liquid. This product is mainly used as a low carb or gluten free flour alternative.

~good question & good idea. i love making homemade yogurt too, but i use raw organic milk. i don't know the answer, but i suggest that you contact the distributor (address is on the can) and ask them. i'll do the same :) i do make the best homemade ice cream with fresh strawberries & the organic coconut milk.gigi
