Caths Yoghurt
I love yoghurt but buying plant based yoghurt is super expensive and near impossible to find a good unsweetened non gmo soy yoghurt.
The reason why my choice of plant based milk is soy is simply because of its health benefits. It’s higher in protein, it has no cholesterol and almost no saturated fats compared to coconut milk. It has a lovely creamy thickness and is fairly neutral in taste so you can change up the flavours. And of course it’s a bean!
Please don’t get confused on the misinformation about it being full of estrogen. Plants contain phytoestrogen and that my lovelies is what can lower our risks to breast cancer and prostate cancer. Now if you want estrogen ( and you shouldn’t) then choose milk from a lactating cow as that’s full of it!
So how do you make it?
You will need a Thermos style yoghurt maker ( I use an easy Yo) . You will need Soy Milk and some probiotic capsules. You can use some of your left over batch instead of your probiotic capsules. Round about 1/4 of a cup .
Here is how to make it…
Half your container with soy milk. It takes nearly the whole litre. Open your capsule and tip the powder into the milk. Gently stir (I use a spatula avoid metal) ) then top up with the rest of your milk. Another gentle stir . Then into the Thermos - add your near boiling water to the top and seal. Leave on the bench for 6-8 hours minimum. The longer you leave it the thicker and tangier it becomes.
Do not stir. Just pop in the fridge to chill and enjoy.
