can you use almond milk to make yogurt

Yes for certain! I only use this to make Almond yoghurt currently. I have tested other brand, but am sticking to this since it is easier to make in one tub. I do not add any thickeners or other additives, therefore the yoghurt will come out runny, my main aim is to get better by getting a lot of good bacteria; I know that the Almond yoghurt that I make gives me more bacteria than any capsule would give. I use one and a quarter cup of blanched almonds per quart of Almond milk, I soak the blanched almonds for 24 hours and blend them for about 8 minutes, then I strain through cheesecloth. I then add 2 tablespoons of Honey per quart, to give the bacteria added fuel to multiply. Then I go through the yoghurt making process as per Yogourmet instructions, I normally ferment for 15 hours, but lately have increased the time to 18 hours (I think that this 3 hour increase gives even more bacteria). There if a point where the bacterial population start to collapse if you keep fermenting for longer than 24 hours, I have not gone that far yet. All the best to you!

Yes. I've used it with shredded as well as with chunks. Makes good almond milk as well.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

Yes. I put almonds in it to make almond milk. I just have to add them in with water. If you want to make nut butter you'd have to use the mincer attachment.

Yes, you can make soy yogurt however, since soy is a very thin milk, you'll have to add some thickening agents to get the yogurt to the right consistency. We recommend arrowroot or agar agar powder.

No. You make almond milk with raw almonds and a good food processor. The leftovers after you filter the almond milk is almond flour.

You could try Flax milk. That is the closest to real milk I have found. I tried do & almond which did not work with any brand of yogurt starter. If it works please let me know.

I have never used them to make nut milk so can't answer that question. I buy the ones that are 20% halves with pieces and also the ones that are whole. I like the Kirkland brand as they arrive fresh tasting and if refrigerated stay fresh until they are used up.

I never tried to make almond milk but it does pulverize things to the point of almost turning onions into a liquid. A blender might be better for almond milk.

Almond milk will froth successfully . Just make sure you are using the coiled frothing attachment for your machine.

You could definity make regular yogurt in this if you wanted to. It includes a strainer for the last step of straining out some of the whey. You would just skip this last step for regular yogurt.

yes-just make it as you would with regular milk and follow whatever directions you are using. The only thing you have to do different is to add a small amount of sugar to give the starter yogurt something to work with. I have used as little as a teaspoon to 5 cups of milk and gotten good results- it won't be sweet, and you can always make it tarter by incubating longer.

Yes but choose plain yogurt, no flavors or sugars added. I buy a pint of whole milk Greek yogurt and use it to make 4 or 5 batches of 1 quart yogurt. I tried the powder sample that came with the yogurt maker but I like the Greek yogurt starter more.

Yes, I use this yogurt maker to make thick Greek-style coconut milk yogurt all the time. You can find my simple recipe here: http://thenourishinghome.com/2014/03/make-greek-style-yogurt-no-straining-required/ I hope this helps. Blessings, Kelly

I do it all the time. use a thickener (like corn or tapioca starch) and a packet of unflavored gelatin when heating the almond/soy/blended milk to control thickness. I use more starter-- either double the powder or use powder and a storebought yogurt of same base. Honey for sweetener to bump up the cultures. experiment!

Yes,but the consistency will be different. If you are looking to make vegan yogurt/kefir, it is best to mix 1/2 soy milk with either almond or coconut milk. Adding soy milk gives the yogurt/kefir nice consistency. If using almond milk or coconut milk alone, it will be too runny (lot's of liquid to drain off). From a quart of almond or coconut milk you'll get close to two cups of yogurt (much less then if using almond or coconut milk in combination with soy or cow milk).

Interesting question! I love coconut milk, but I've never tried using it for yogurt. Any input?
