Homemade yogurt?
 
I make my own yogurt and eat a lot of it plain. I use skim or 2% and yogurt starter. Would this be phase 1 friendly? I'm assuming it would be the same calories and such as skim or 2% milk...any insight? I don't drink much milk because I'm lactose intolerant, but I can handle yogurt alright.

Skyblue, I've never made yogurt, but it sounds like a great thing to do! :D What's in the "yogurt starter?" As long as the ingredients in that are P1 friendly, you should be fine. If not, try getting plain fat-free or lowfat yogurt at the grocery store for Phase 1 and then go back to making your own in P2.

Yogurt starter is just either purchased bacteria or existing yogurt.

It's just dehydrated yogurt from "Cultures for health" I start each new batch with the last half cup from the old batch.

Go for it! Scratches head and wonders where the heck my yogurt maker went.

Get some starter from "Cultures for Health" It's a countertop starter and you don't have to heat it or anything. I love not having to mess with a yogurt maker

(I don't work for them, I swear, I just like their product. :))

Is this starter available in regular grocery stores or stores like Trader Joes? I am interested in making my own yogurt and I usually use existing yogurt but want to try with a starter too.

I ordered online. I can't post the link, but if you google the name, you should find it.

I think I've posted this link before. I remember Zeff and I talking about yogurt making quite a bit. I like making it in the winter though I get distracted by other things in the summer.

A good place to start (no machine needed):

I have a gas stove so no effort at all, the pilot keeps the oven at just the right temp. It's incredibly easy to make and you know exactly what's in it.
