I'm supposed to eat 8 oz. daily of unsweetened plain yogurt. Would this work the same way?

Not sure that you will get the same affect if you put it into something else but I would add flavor if you plan on making it up each time.

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.

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.

Yes, if you take two scoops a day. I only take one scoop per day and the container last me one month.

Although I've never done so myself (because I never seem to be able to save some aside -- I want it all!!) I have read accounts somewhere of being able to do so, and because the bacilli are so potent it would make sense that it would work. I would follow the usual routine in making yogurt with a remaining sample: heat your milk to 185, allow to cool to 112-105, mix your sample in thoroughly and allow to sit or use a yogurt maker for at least 5 hours, or ideally overnight. Natren makes really good, thick, creamy, tangy, yummy yogurt!

I haven't tried putting yogurt in these since my kids don't like yogurt. But I'm confident that the lid seals tight enough to hold yogurt without it leaking. I'm not sure how many ounces it will hold, but it definitely seems large enough to hold a good serving size and I'd be willing to bet it would hold 6 oz. Sorry I can't say from experience though!

Tanya, I get a little package of plain yogurt to start mine. It works great. I make the greek yogurt. You will have to strain it to make Greek yogurt.Mine tastes better than the Fage brand. I use2 tablespoons of Fage to start mine, so I can eat the rest. But you can start it with regular yogurt. I am thinking about doing a Youtube about how to do it. I have some great tips that will make it easy to do

Take a colindar(?) and line it with cheesecloth. Dump the yogurt in and leave it for about an hour. I love Greek yogurt as well, and it works.

Nope if ur baby still get enough of only eating 5oz then u can use it as long as u want but when it won't be enough then u need to get the 8 oz one

It can hold 8 oz. or 1 cup. Ideally though, it is really best to put a plastic cup of yogurt in the container, as opposed to liquid directly. Hope that helps.

You can pretty much drink it instead of a meal. I do suggest that you work out if your trying to stay healthy.

I don't know what to tell you. It works just like that for me. How thick is your yogurt when you put it in?

I use plain yogurt a lot when I blend a fruit and vegetable mix. It looks a little funny when it thaws but you can just shake it up. If I take it out of the freezer in the morning for lunch, my son loves it.

My question is: do you just get the commercial yogurt and let it sit on the counter for a day? I guess as long as it is sealed other stuff can't get in there to ferment as well. I'd appreciate hearing if you have tried this.

When I need to take it to lunch the next day I tend to mix it into yogurt. So I have a container, or small ziplock, with the powder in it and then mix it into yogurt at lunch time. If you have a divided container then I put the powder in the smaller size and fruits to dip into my chocolate yogurt on the other side.

I would say no for all intents and purposes. That's because people who make yogurt do it very regularly like I do. I have bought this stuff 3 times and it works well. plus I only use half a packet (and a bit from the last batch) to make 7 six ounce servings at a time. I store it in the fridge but it came shipped in plain envelope and still works perfectly well. The last time I bought 10 packets and I expect them to last months or even a year. This is good stuff and even thou I live in a big city no stores carry yogurt starter.

I think it will be fine. I mixed mine with some strawberries and yogurt and a little water and it was good. You might have to play with the proportions a bit to get the taste and consistency right. Hope it's good!
