Homemade yogurt

Ingredients: and things you need!

1/2 gallon whole milk

1/2 cup Dannon plain yogurt with live active     
cultures

1 or 2 boxes of jello (your flavor of choice)

(optional)

2 cups of pureed fruit of your choice (this is 

optional)

1 crock pot

1 blanket

Turn Crock pot on LOW

Pour into crock pot 1/2 gallon of whole milk

 or coconut milk 

Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours

Turn crock pot off after the 2 1/2 hours and let

sit for 3 hours with the lid on.

After the milk has sat for 3 hours scoop out 2 cups of the

 warm milk into a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of dannon plain yogurt -

this is your yogurt feeder. The next time you make it you will

 have your own feeder.(with live active cultures)

Add one box of jello (some don't use any flavoring or some 

use flavored pudding for creamer yogurt-depends on your 

taste)

whisk and whisk and whisk

Add yogurt, jello and milk mixture back into the crock pot and 

cover with a towel and blanket.

Wait 8 to 9 hours before peaking!

Dip out 1/2 cup and save for your next yogurt feeder so you 

don't have to keep purchasing Dannon plain yogurt with live 

active cultures.

Add strawberries and bananas or fruit puree of your choice. 

My kids don't like any lumps in their yogurt so we pureed our

 fruit all the way up until it was smooth. 

Some people add honey to sweeten!

This is great for morning smoothies! 

We add strawberries, bananas,  and two scoops of greens 

some ice and blend it up and YUM YUM..



UPDATE: WE froze some as popcycles. They were a HUGE

 hit!!!
