I purchased Stonyfield's O'Soy yogurt, and after I took a couple of bites, I read on the label that it contains milk! The live cultures are derived from dairy. What is your favorite soy yogurt? I read some reviews online, and WholeSoy tends to be a favorite. Do you know of any other non-vegan brands to avoid? Thanks! Jamie

Posted Monday, January 3, 2011 at 2:02 PM Wholesoy flavors are very good but high in sugar (it's not all from fruit, they add cane juice) so I only eat that as an occasional treat. I use Wildwood plain soy yogurt for cooking and I also eat it as a snack sweetened with Stevia and some fresh fruit. For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) it's always ourselves we find in the sea www

Posted Monday, January 3, 2011 at 3:09 PM When I do buy yogurt, becuase there are only a few kinds available I only get the one I know I like from Olympia Soyogurt. But really its just ok so I dont get is very often. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we should dance

Posted Monday, January 3, 2011 at 10:18 PM We've tried all the brands that are available in our area, and the best tasting and consistency one was Stonyfield, but we got caught by the milk revelation too! And I don't mind telling ya all, some of the ones highly recommended by different websites tasted HORRID, including the one made from coconut milk! Sooo...that leaves me wondering if somehow I can make my own. Thought about maybe finding a way to make it from Almond milk. Don't know where to begin. May take a while to research it and find out if and how.

Marian Joined: 01/07/11 Posts: 20	RE: Soy Yogurt? Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 4:01 PM Most of the soy yogurt I've tasted has been really terrible. I've bought Silk Live! and WholeSoy & Co. yogurts, and they both say "dairy-free" on the label. I never eat it by itself, but I do like it in soups and smoothies. I'd like to know, too, if there is some way to make soy yogurt at home. I have used a yogurt maker in the past, but I have a feeling it would not work with soy or plant milk. Any answers out there?

I can't handle that much soy (as in soy yogurt) in a food product and the coconut milk one I tried was not a satisfying texture and kind of cloying. I've looked up how to make ypgurt before and the big sticking point seems to be keeping it at a constant temp for the right length of time. Don't really have enough counter space for a "unitasker" like a yogurt maker (if it could do other things too, that would be different) and all the other methods (box and heating pad; crockpot, etc) all seemed to need a lot of 'babysitting'. We'd prefer to use almond milk, though we could do rice milk for the yogurt if that works better than almond. --Deb R

Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 4:43 PM I haven't had a soy yogurt that I thought tasted good at all - BUT I do love to bake with plain soy yogurt. It works great for brownie recipes. I've wanted to try making a vegan tzatziki sauce to go with falafel, but haven't had the chance to make it yet.

Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 7:59 PM Try Wholesoy..cherry flavor- only the cherry, its amazing, and yes I tried some of the other flavors...only the cherry. It does have a lot of sugar, but my favorite breakfast is chopped fruit,apple,fresh strawberries, banana and blueberries, topped with a sprinkle of homemade granola, and yogurt. I only use half of the small container of yogurt, which is plenty, to cut down the sugar and calories. This is so good, I have served it for dessert before, no one knew it was soy yogurt.

cathyb Joined: 09/13/10 Posts: 149	RE: Soy Yogurt? Posted Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 12:38 AM I saw a recipe for homemade soy yogurt. I think it was in Garden of Vegan (I got it from the library, so I no longer have it). I used to make yogurt with milk. Once it was heated, cooled to 115 degrees and mixed with starter, I put it in a little cooler with a jar of boiling water. If it did not set up after several hours (maybe 5-6?), I would reheat the jar of water. I looked into getting non-dairy starter, but it was pricey. I think I will just buy some plain soy yogurt and use a spoonful of that as a starter.
