How would this be in plain yogurt? Would it dissolve well?

Will not dissolve...looks like finely ground pepper but tastes better! Delicious in yogurt, oatmeal, granola, smoothies, and baked goods! This is vanilla ONLY. No added dextrose or anti-caking agents.

I can't say for sure that it will dissolve well in plain yogurt. I never used it that way. I always use it for a smoothie which I mix in a blender. It tastes great though.

It wouldn't necessarily dissolve. I do put a tiny bit in my coffee and coconut milk and the grains are noticeable but it doesn't bother me. Mostly I use it for baking. Hope this helps.

It is ground up well enough to mix in yogurt and is more like flakes, however it is somewhat powdery as well. Great blend.

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

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 also agree with the previous comments. In a blender or shaker, it dissolves easily. It also does not have a chalky taste like so many others.

I use milk. I find whole milk works best as per making a thick creamy consistency. Sometimes I add a little half and half in too, to create that rich texture. If you leave it in the yogurt maker for 24 hours the lactose is, for the most part, removed. I don't think coconut water would provide the right texture to make yogurt, but I would experiment with adding some into the heated milk.

I have never made yogurt, so I don't know. It works very well however for kefir.

I think it will depend on how thick your non-dairy yogurt is. I made a batch of yogurt where I think I accidentally killed a lot of the bacteria, so it was very thin; everything drained right through this mesh. But when I have successfully made yogurt this strains just the whey quite well.

You can use any milk so I guess it would be okay if it is raw. then yogurt actually "cooks" for'10 hours so I don't guess it would be raw anymore???

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

I did, but I used dairy yogurt as the starter. (About 1 tbsp per pint jar) I used a carton of west soy organic unsweetened plain. The only ingredients are soybeans and water. I did not scald it, just poured into jars, stirred in yogurt and set for 9 hours. It was super thick and tasted great! I would like it a little tart-er next time, so I will go to 10 or 11 hours.

It's pretty tart .. I tried mixing it in yogurt but it definitely altered the taste. I now just mix it in water

Yes of course. It becomes of greek yogurt consistency if you put the contents in the strainer and let the whey/liquid drain. Up to you!

I think the recommendation is 4-6 hrs, from the time the yogurt is heated and the bacteria/culture is added. I have the top tier and I regularly use it, it works fine for making a double batch of yogurt. I only use whole milk to make my yogurt though. People who have told me they use low fat or skim milks often complain the yogurt turns out runny. I believe in the industrial yogurt business they use gelatins and other thickening agents to make low fat yogurts. Happy yogurt making!

The thick yogurt should stay in the fine mesh insert and the liquid should drip through into the the solid box. It will take a while. Then you should only use the white yogurt that remains in the mesh part and discard the liquid that has drained through into the solid box.

It does not dissolve, like sugar or salt dissolves. I wouldn't expect any protein powder to do that. It can form a suspension if you blend it. My comments were about the old non-organic one that they don't seem to be selling any more. I thought it smelled better than the new kind. I haven't tried blending the new one in water or soy milk yet. I've just been putting it in my oatmeal lately.

Im not sure if it dissolves easily and smoothly in water since I don't add it to water. As far as dissolving in skim milk, yogurt and berries I can definitely say yes. Better tasting than anything I have used and it is NOT "gritty".
