I’m excited to share this simple and delicious, protein and probiotic-rich soy yogurt recipe made in my Euro Cuisine yogurt maker (pictured below). I have actually found it quite easy to switch to non-dairy with substitutes like these. I've seen several other types of yogurt makers since using mine. Some only use one container like this one from Cuisinart which is also very handy.
At about 100 calories in one cup of Westsoy soymilk, this could become your go-to for breakfast, dessert, or as a base for your favorite creamy dressing.
This recipe is so simple, useful and dynamic, it will reframe the way you think about meal prepping.
Now, on to making this delightfully decadent dairy-free recipe. Homemade soy yogurt can end up being too thin so using cornstarch to make the yogurt thicker works well. Start with about 3 tablespoons and see if it’s to your liking.
You'll need to use a yogurt starter. I've used Yogurmet brand that I purchased from the store, but you can also find several starters at Amazon. Once you heat up the soymilk, you'll then add the starter, a little date or maple syrup if you're using unsweetened soymilk and pour it into your container(s). It's as easy as that!
Now you're ready to enjoy your homemade soy yogurt. Think about it in your oatmeal sprinkled with berries and a few nuts, in your smoothies or salad dressings or to top this homemade granola recipe.

Here's a delicious and beautiful yogurt and granola parfait that's fun for guests or a simple breakfast. Fresh vanilla bean, a sprinkling of cinnamon and cacao nibs will take this recipe over the top and make a rich and decadent nutrient-rich dessert.
With this basic soy yogurt recipe you just might end up making it every week and keep it as a staple. Enjoy!
