I do this, quite honestly, because there really is no good low carb, unsweetened soy yogurts out on the market &#8211; I am trying to avoid refined sugars and I seem to be allergic to whey protein, so regular plain yogurt doesn&#8217;t work for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This seems to be the fastest, most reliable way I get good quality, creamy yogurt each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what I use to make my yogurt: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I tend to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edenfoods.com\/store\/unsweetened-edensoy-organic-soymilk.html\">EdenSoy brand Unsweetened Soy milk<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s got 120 calories per 8 ounces, and 12 grams of protein per serving. Spoiler alert: I usually only have 6 ounces for each serving, so I usually get 5 days from one carton of milk. I have used other unsweetened soy milks like WestSoy with good luck as well. <\/li><li>I also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yogourmet-Freeze-Yogurt-Starter-Packaging\/dp\/B001GVIS4M\">Yogourmet Yogurt starter<\/a>. I used to get this from Whole Foods but now I get from our local natural foods market (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pccmarkets.com\/\">PCC<\/a>). You can also get this from Amazon.com (obvs). <\/li><li>I also purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ball-Plastic-Freezer-16-Ounce-2-Count\/dp\/B007BVFXI0\">Ball plastic pint freezer jars<\/a> &#8211; these work great and store 8 ounces each. I used to use Ball Glass jars but found the bottoms were cracking off after too many uses. <\/li><li>A thermometer with an alert for both high and low temperatures. I bought the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000095RC2\">CDN DTTC-W Combo Probe Thermometer, Timer &amp; Clock<\/a>, but I&#8217;m not a fan. There&#8217;s no way to turn it off so it wastes batteries which means it shuts off at irritating times and you have to reset the low and high. But I do like how it works other than that, and it&#8217;s saved me time &#8211; without the alerts for I would let the milk get too hot or too cold when I wasn&#8217;t monitoring it constantly. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the steps I follow. It takes about an hour to prep this and most of that is cooling the milk back down, and about 5 hours for the yogurt to <a href=\"https:\/\/saladinajar.com\/yogurt\/more-than-six-ways-to-incubate-yogurt-without-a-yogurt-maker\/\">incubate<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First I heat the milk to about 180 degrees. This batch got a little hot, but it doesn&#8217;t seem to affect the taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3544-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Heating the soy milk\" data-id=\"53\" data-link=\"http:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/?attachment_id=53\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3544-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3544-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3544-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Heating the soy milk to 180 degrees Fahrenheit<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3547-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Heating the soy milk\" data-id=\"40\" data-link=\"http:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/?attachment_id=40\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3547-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/art-as-science.brickware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_3547-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Heating the soy milk<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a bit of a sensitive stomach and because I keep the yogurt for 5-6 days, I&#8217;m not taking chances.
