Cultures for Health Vegan Yogurt Starter Culture | Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Non-Dairy, DIY | Make Delicious Batches of High-Quality Probiotic-Dense Plain Vegan Yogurt | 4 Packets

This is a wonderful vegan yogurt starter. It's very easy to use and the yogurt came out perfectly. I made it in my Instant Pot using the Yogurt setting. The recipe: a 32oz box of Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk (no added ingredients), one packet of starter (the package contains 4), and one Tablespoon (8 grams) of tapioca starch to help thicken it. Whisk it all together using a very clean bowl and whisk. I put the mixture into three pint sized jars and set the Instant Pot for 15 hours (overnight is easiest.) You should be able to do it in less time, but this was my first try and I wanted to make sure it was good. It was! Not too tart, even with the extra time. Refrigerate for about 6-8 hours before using. This will help to set and thicken it. I used one whole jar from my first batch of yogurt as a starter for my second batch and used the same amount of time. I had heard from somewhere that with vegan yogurt you needed to use starter from the packet each time. Well, this batch came out nicely, although the yogurt was much thinner. I still like it a lot and the thin yogurt was great over a spicy vegan black bean chili. For the next batch I will start over with the packaged yogurt starter. It's really good and I already bought my second order of four because I'm sure I'll be needing it soon. The instructions inside the packaging tell you to store the unused packets in the freezer. Oh, and don't use aluminum bowls/utensils. Stainless steel is okay. Note: Instructions say you can make 32-64oz of yogurt with one packet of starter. I made 32oz. I'll try 64oz soon.

Funcionó muy bien en leche de soya espesa perfecto incluso te recomiendo filtrar al final con una malla limpia para que quede como el yogurt convencional ojo en consistencia si está muy bien pero no hace milagros la soya siempre sabrá a soya pero pues si eres vegano eso buscarás

This is a nice product. Glad that it's vegan and I like the packaging and easy instructions. Worked well when making vegan yogurt.

I successfully used the Vegan Yogurt starter for years and recently purchased 3 new pkgs, one through Amazon and two directly from the company itself. Each pkg contains 4 individual packets of starter. I made 3 separate attempts to make yogurt using the same type of milk (soy), the same yogurt maker (EuroCuisine) and the same process I have always successfully used in the past. After my first attempt using this new starter failed, I tried a second time with a new packet from the same pkg. When that also failed, I tried a third packet from a second pkg, thinking that the one pkg might have had a bad batch of starter, but that also failed. I then tested the temperature of my yogurt maker and found that it was within the recommended range. I finally emailed Cultures for Health to see if they had made any changes to the formula and found out that they had, in fact, changed the formula. At that point, I checked the ingredients listed on my newest pkgs of starter, compared those to the ingredients of the older formulation and found the two formulations were very different. There was no indication on the website or on the newest pkgs to alert me to the change of formula so I never thought to check the ingredients at the time of purchase or before using. I have since purchased a different brand of vegan starter and made a successful batch of yogurt so I can only conclude that it is the Cultures for Health new starter that is at fault for the previous failures.

After seeing the back and forth between positive and negative reviews, I decided to buy one to try. I’m going to preface this with: I’ve made plenty of plant yogurt before both with probiotics and previous yogurt as a starter and store bought milk (Silk with all the gums and whatnot) and have always had success. I already got a refund for this product because I knew something wasn’t right when nothing even started to happen after 4 hours and you’re only supposed to let it sit for 6-8 hours. This review is to warn others to buy with caution if you must. For the first batch, I used 3 cups silk soy milk & 1 cup coconut milk to 1 sachet of starter. After 8 hours, it was still liquid. I thought maybe it didn’t work because I used store bought milk. So I whipped up 4 cups of homemade soy milk (soy beans and water only) and used another sachet and this time I just let it sit overnight (12+ hours) for good luck. Still nothing. So with two different types of milk, I think it’s safe to conclude that the starter doesn’t work. And if it worked for some people on here, they got lucky with a good batch.
