In our house, there’s one thing we are constantly having to stock up on, yoghurt. The kids eat a ton of the stuff, from flavoured to plain and Greek to natural they love it all. I’ve been considering a yoghurt maker for a while. So when an EasiYo yogurt maker turned up for us to review I was delighted.
The kids were also excited to be able to make their own yoghurt.
The EasiYo Yogurt Maker is a simple way to make fresh, delicious and healthy yoghurt at home. EasiYo yoghurt has no artificial colours or flavours at all so it’s ideal for the whole family. It’s also a good source of protein and calcium.
With a simple 3 step process to follow it’s super easy to make delicious homemade yogurt.
The starter pack we received included:
Red yoghurt maker
1kg yoghurt jar
Greek-style yoghurt mix (makes 1kg)
Strawberry yoghurt mix (makes 1kg)
We were also kindly sent a couple of extra mixes to try.
After reading the instructions we got to work on making some yogurt. I liked how easy the process was to follow and felt confident in letting the kids get involved.
We filled the yoghurt jar halfway with room-temperature drinking water. There were a few squabbles over what flavour we should choose first but we settled on toffee. Daisy poured the mixture into the jar of water and gave it a good shake. We then topped it up with more water and gave it a shake again.
The next part required boiling water so Daddy took over at this point. Inside the yoghurt maker is a plastic spacer, he poured the boiling water onto the top of this.
We then placed the jar inside the yoghurt maker and twisted the lid on. It’s recommended that the yoghurt should be left for 8-12 hours to set. We set our timer for 8 hours and when we checked it had set.
Once it had set we popped it in the fridge. The kids couldn’t wait to try it but I wanted to chill it for a few hours first. Another squabble ensued, this time about who would taste test first. We decided to let Jake go first as he is the biggest yoghurt lover in our house. He gave it a big thumbs up and a top banana so we all got spoons and dug in.
I love how thick and creamy the yoghurt turned out. I also love how far 1kg went, the kids have had more than a few servings from the jar. I’m going to try the Greek-style mix next as that’s my favourite type of yoghurt.
I’ve also been looking at all the different flavours on the EasiYo website. I also spotted some reusable squeezy pouches for the kids. We are definitely going to have some fun experimenting with our yoghurt maker.
