Yogurt maker

[firsttimemom]

Do you have a yogurt maker? which brand do you recommend? is it worth getting one?

Thanks.

I've got one that I bought from Australia. I think it's worth getting if your child likes yoghurt (and adults for that matter). The kid's yoghurt in supermarkets here is really over priced so in the long run, I'm saving money and I know that what I'm putting in it is safe.

We bought the EasiYo yogurt maker at City Super and really like it. It's simple to use and the yogurt is yummy. There are many different flavors to choose from. Here is their Hong Kong website: EASIYO HK

I'd highly recommend it and it is a money saver in the long run.

wow looks good! may i ask at what age babies can eat yoghurt?

I don't think EASI YO is that money saver. Their flavored packets cost like 2X or 3X each. You can buy a big pot of natural and unsweetened yogurt for less than that, and then add whatever you want (honey, fruit, etc).. that would be much more natural and healthier.

I think babies can start yoghurt around 6-7months? I started mine at around 7 months and she seems to enjoy it.

Thanks Mcdill!

The yogurt we were buying before we got into making our own was quite expensive - almost twice the amount of one easiyo packet. We also weighed the envirnomental cost of the plastic containers yogurt usually comes in.

Hi,

I actually checked easiyo today, price for the maker is okay, but my concern is where to get the flavors/yogurt esp if i'm not in hk anymore. Can i use whatever milk?

I just googled EasiYo and Canada (where I come from) and see they have an online shop in North America (Delicious Yogurt Made Easy). I didn't check into it any further, though.

You have a good point about availability outside of HK - I never thought about that, as I think we'll be in HK for a while longer...
