Homemade Yogurt
Yogurt has many purposes in this household of adoring fans, from an ingredient in baked goods, breakfast with granola and fruit, a popular addition to smoothies (related: Raspberry Orange Smoothies), to a healthy afternoon snack, and even using yogurt as a marinade for Tandoori Chicken – there isn’t a week that goes buy where I’m not adding another large container or two to our grocery cart.
I’m pleased to report that everyone else is absolutely right – yogurt is SUPER easy to make at home. Not that I doubted it, but it was great to give it a try myself and learn how simple the process is.
And it’s really nice because you can completely control the ingredients yourself. Organic, naturally sweetened, pure, delicious yogurt. Madeline is particularly partial to a generous drizzle of honey and fresh strawberries on a bowl of yogurt for her breakfast.
But you aren’t just controlling the ingredients. You have the ability to control the consistency of your yogurt. Personally, I like it on the thicker side and now I know just how to make it that way at home every time.
This Cuisipro Donvier® Electronic Yogurt Machine will make homemade yogurt such a breeze to make. All you need to do is heat the milk, add the yogurt culture, divide the mixture between the BPA-free plastic jars. Then you add the jars to the machine, set your timer (10 1/2 hours was perfect for me), place the lid on and plug it in. The machine does all the work for you.

I have been trying my hand at homemade yogurt because we have switched to real foods only. But I have yet to succeed!
I want to try making greek yogurt:)

I am excited to make my own yogurt because it’s so much simpler and healthier than the kind you get in the supermarket. I’ve made my own using mason jars in a small styrofoam cooler and it turned out good but I love the idea of having a machine that allows me to make it in individual serving size containers.

I like goodlifeeats on fb!

We eat soo much yogurt! It would be fun to try and make your own, plus it is better to make things homemade!
Summer says
I am growing my own fruit this year. What a great way to use it – in my homemade yogurt!
Susie says
I want to make my own heathy yogrut. Most in the stores are either too expensive or too sweet. I Hope I win this little machine!

I’d love to make my own yogurt so I know exactly what’s in it and that it’s healthy. I’d be excited to making blueberry yogurt. We always pick a ton of them in the summer.
Naomi says
I’d love this because I’ve only made yogurt in my crockpot. It is a long process and I think I could save time with this yogurt maker.
Lisa says
I found this site by looking for yogurt makers. Yogurt is a so good for our bodies. Since we don’t have medical insurance we try to eat as healthy as possible as to stay in good health. But the cost can add up so I’ve been looking at making yogurt at home.
Mary Smith says
Love to win this and give it to my daughter-I already have one and it’s great.
Kathleen says
I eat yogurt like a crazy person! I’d love to be able to make my own =)
Marilyn says
Maybe strangely, in addition to getting to control the ingredients, I really like the individual servings. I’m often tempted by the convenience of yogurt cups in the the store.
Coco and Isa says
I want to try making all kinds of different flavors. I had never heard of this before!
Linda says
Stumbled the burritos.
