Has anyone made almond milk yogurt with this machine?

I make almond milk yogurt fairly often using the recipe I found on lexieskitchen.com. It turns out well, but this kind of yogurt doesn't seem to keep longer than a week.

Yes...I absolutely love this machine. I mostly make almond milk. I also make cashew creamer for my coffee. I line my strainer with cheesecloth when I strain. Tastes so much better than store bought. This is my 2nd machine-the other is a Joyoung from Amazon and I like it just as well. My first one is still kicking after 2 years of constant use and I still use it when I want to make 2 batches at once.

Sorry, I have not tried non-dairy yogurts. However, I can emphatically affirm that this machine makes great milk-based yogurt.

I tried to make almond milk yogurt with this starter in an Instant Pot with the yogurt making function with no success. I have also unsuccessfully tried cashew and coconut milk. I am actually an testing it right now to make sure it is actually alive. If I find it to be a dud, I will follow up here. I did end up purchasing GI Pro Start (also vegan) that I have found a bit more successful.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes Vitamix 5200 can make Nut milks of all sorts. For almond milk you add 1 cup of raw almonds (or cashews to make cashew milk) with 3 cups of water, and add any sweetener to taste if you want to add sweetness. Only takes 2 minutes. The ratios of nuts/seeds to water vary when making other milks like sesame, coconut, soy, and rice. But it can make all of these and more.

You could try Flax milk. That is the closest to real milk I have found.I tried do & almond which did not work with any brand of yogurt starter. If it works please let me know.

Yes. I have tried their recipe for yogurt (120 degrees for 1 hr after that 18 hrs at 86 degrees). I make a gallon of yogurt using 1/2 gallon of organic whole milk and 1/2 gallon of organic half and half. My yogurt is fabulous. It is sweet and custard like, so creamy. I like Greek yogurt so I strain some to the consistency I like. I tried using less time but the yogurt came out lumpy with lots of whey. Also great for proofing bread.

Yes you can. I just spoon the yogurt into an ice cube tray, freeze it, pop out the cubes of yogurt then into the machine. Works great.

Yes. I've used it with shredded as well as with chunks. Makes good almond milk as well.

Yes! And it tastes amazing! About two measures (it comes with a measuring cup) of almonds, water and ca. 15 minutes in the machine. Best almond milk ever. I love it.

Yes for certain! I only use this to make Almond yoghurt currently. I have tested other brand, but am sticking to this since it is easier to make in one tub. I do not add any thickeners or other additives, therefore the yoghurt will come out runny, my main aim is to get better by getting a lot of good bacteria; I know that the Almond yoghurt that I make gives me more bacteria than any capsule would give. I use one and a quarter cup of blanched almonds per quart of Almond milk, I soak the blanched almonds for 24 hours and blend them for about 8 minutes, then I strain through cheesecloth. I then add 2 tablespoons of Honey per quart, to give the bacteria added fuel to multiply. Then I go through the yoghurt making process as per Yogourmet instructions, I normally ferment for 15 hours, but lately have increased the time to 18 hours (I think that this 3 hour increase gives even more bacteria). There if a point where the bacterial population start to collapse if you keep fermenting for longer than 24 hours, I have not gone that far yet. All the best to you!

You can probably find the booklet at the Waring web site. However, the basic recipe is fairly simple: 1 quart milk (or soy drink, almond milk, or any combination; I generally use 1/2 low-fat soy and 1/2 skim milk); 5 oz dry milk; 5 oz yogurt. Directions: Bring milk to 175 - 180 degree F over medium heat, stirring regularly. Keep at that temperature for 2 minutes (This pasteurizes the milk to kill all unwanted bacteria.) Let milk cool to about 120 F, then add dry milk, stirring until dissolved. Let cool to less than 100 F, then add yogurt, stirring/whisking to dissolve. Pour into uncovered containers in the machine. Put big plastic cover on machine. Turn machine on for 6 - 8 hrs. Check after 6 hrs to see if yogurt is set. If not, give it more time, but not more than 8 hrs. When done, remove yogurt cups, put on their lids, and place in refrigerator. (I like to use a cup of dry milk, as this gives thicker yogurt.)

Yes! I have made it many times. Use large shred coconut, & unsweetened. I buy it in bulk. I fill a large (6 cup canning jar) jar half full with lightly packed with coconut, and up to the 6 cup line with water. let soak over night. then in the morning I pour the mix into the machine, make sure the water is to the fill line, and run the soaked bean setting. and then strain with the provided strainer. you can sweeten if you like , add vanilla, or what ever you want. I use the coconut, or almond meal for cooking and baking after. Also, you can experiment with combos of coconut and other nuts. And the amount of nuts or coconut you use is up to you. I have had lots of success with it just playing around with raw versions, or using almond extract. Its a really great kitchen tool over all. My oldest son cant drink dairy, and the amount of money I have saved on making my own milks has more than payed for this machine. We have not made soup with it like they say you can , but I am sure that would be easy to do. Hope that helps!

Yes, I have made yogurt using (canned culinary) coconut milk with great results using the instructions for regular milk. I add agar agar as a thickener. Enjoy!

I only use it for almond milk. I strain it using half and then half again, so its easier. That is an option if you think it will not hold 1/2 gallon of yogurt.
