Lactaid milk and yogurt making Has anyone had any success using fat free Lactaid milk? Is it possible to make thick yogurt without adding the powdered milk (which contains lactose)?

Fat free milk. I do use the powdered milk because otherwise mine has turned out too liquidy. It's tart but I sweeten it with Splenda. Thanks for your tips!

yes-just make it as you would with regular milk and follow whatever directions you are using. The only thing you have to do different is to add a small amount of sugar to give the starter yogurt something to work with. I have used as little as a teaspoon to 5 cups of milk and gotten good results- it won't be sweet, and you can always make it tarter by incubating longer.

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

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

Has anyone tried using soy milk in any of the recipes? Do you think it will turn out runny like the lactose milk? What do you think about using soy creamer?

Yes, you are missing something. There are many, many products that are made with milk but are lactose free. Try them, very good!

Although I've never tried it, I think not. The enzyme has to be dispersed evenly though out the liquid to get all the lactose, and yogurt might be too thick to evenly disperse. Yoplait makes lactose free yoghurt now, by the way.

No dairy at all. If you are dairy free, mix it with unsweetened coconut or almond milk.

You need to find a specific recipe to use almond or coconut milk. I never had any luck with the yogurt thickening if I used something other than cow's milk, and I just haven't tried again lately. The cultures should work, but you have to add a lot of other things to the mix, again to thicken the yogurt.

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.

I was making yogurt myself until I found a Bulgarian yogurt that is incubated for 24 hours. They have a fat free version and I've switched to it . They are a company in Austin, Texas, that makes yogurt SCD way. It's worth buying for me and not jacking with the hassle of the yogurt maker anymore.

I put in yogurt that is thick. It doesn't seep through or anything. The liquid comes out and I remove the liquids every few hrs. depending and it's just not a mess. Don't know why, but it isn't. If I THINK it will be messy with ultra thin yogurt, either I don't attempt OR I put in a cheese cloth. But NEVER had a mess.

Hi, I made my first batch of ice cream today and it was fabulous. My recipe called for 1 cup milk, and I used 3/4 cup of lactaid fat free milk and 1/4 cup of light cream. I also used some heavy cream, fresh strawberries and sweet n low (I'm not lactose intolerant, just avoid sugar). It was great, very creamy and easy to scoop, not at all runny.

I just received my Yolife yesterday and made my first soy yogurt using the Silk brand of soy milk. It turned out fine! Not as firm as store brands, but not runny either. Next time I'll try adding something like agar or gelatin to firm it up a bit just to see what happens, and then move on to experimenting with coconut and almond milks. I love my Yolife! It's hard to find nondairy yogurt where I live, but now the search is over.

I know your question was from several months ago, but here is a great recipe for raw milk yogurt, which you can use with this yogurt maker. You do have to heat the milk slightly, but not enough to kill all the "good stuff."http://nourishedkitchen.com/raw-milk-yogurt/

The yogurt maker comes with two different culture starters, which require different temperatures when they are introduced to the milk (thermometer is included), but presumably the same incubation temperature. I imagine you could also make non-dairy yogurts as well, using soy or coconut milk, though I've never tried it.

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

I make coconut milk yogurt using my home made coconut milk. Do like you would with regular milk but add a thickener like tapioca starch. Gelatin works but I don't like what it's made of. Below is where I got my original info from.http://www.culturesforhealth.com/make-coconut-milk-yogurt-recipe

Yes, makes great milk shakes without all the added sugars. I add to dark chocolate almond milk, add a frozen ripe banana and blend in a blender. Delicious!

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.
