Podcast Episode 240: Dairy Free Yogurts: L. Reuteri and More

Making dairy-free yogurt, whether it be L. reuteri or Yogurt Plus, it can be a little different than regular yogurt. Since these types of milk are made with mostly water, it can be challenging to create a creamy yogurt. I have four new recipes that have huge benefits. Tune in to learn more.

Donna could you do videos actually making the yogurts, especially the non dairy options? That would really help us newbies

[@riss6647]

Thank you Donna. I rrally do better without dairy but ive been having the l reuteri and kefir with dairy. Im so glad youre doing the work to give us options.

[@riss6647]

I just found out I'm type 1 diabetic. Donna do you have any suggestions on making the yogurt or kefir in a way that won't spike my blood sugar. Both the l reuteri with half and half and the kefir made with whole milk make my blood sugar spike 70 points.

[@paulettenelson2115]

The first time I made Lruteri oat milk yogurt it turned to slime. I think I might have killed the starter.The 2nd time it was tasteless. The 3rd batch it kind of looked the same as usual. I was on the phone with my daughter it had about another hour for the 36 hrs.when I looked up I told my daughter this stuff is starting to breath.when I tasted it had a tart taste like yogurt. Getting ready to make my 4th batch. Didn't bother with the nut bag & when I added starter I added some date sugar I just wont fill the jars as full. Donna I have 3 of your books.

[@ErnstHeinze-iw4gq]

​@paulettenelson2115 it's normal for oats to get slimy!

[@ErnstHeinze-iw4gq]

But I'm gluten sensitive and react worse to organic oats than even non organic junk wheat bread! Will it work anyway without causing pain?

[@lisabigam7734]

Thank you...made my first batch of the L Reuters yougart...so excited to receive the benefits from it❤️how much coconut flakes do you use to make the coconut milk??aloha🤙

[@ver0gloria]

Thank you for posting such an informative video. I am buying coconut chucks this morning👍🏼

[@aperson1181]

how many times do you think you can replicate reuteri from previous batches w/o resorting to new reuteri tablets?

[@clairewright3150]

Thank you Donna for your video, please could you advise if I can use the 3 strains, L reuteri, L. gasseri and coagulan as used in Dr davis SIBO yogurt when using coconut milk. I have made the SIBO yogurt using cows milk successfully and have made the coconut version with just the L reuteri with success but was unsure if you could use all these 3 strains together in coconut milk and if so could I use the SIBO combo from my last batch (cows milk) which has been frozen in my next coconut batch. Many thanks for any advice you can give.

[@ErnstHeinze-iw4gq]

These strains all need a different fermentation temperature so you can't make them all together. About 50°C for coagulans and I don't know for gasseri. Have a look in the book.

[@thodgecad5372]

I made this with coconut milk and again with coconut cream and they both came out watery. I doubled the inolin and added the gelatin but it wasn't creamy at all. Any reason why?

[@xmonikerhotmailcom]

Karma. Gelatin is boiled up arseholes and eyeballs of cows and pigs. Use agar agar, no animals harmed.

[@gailm.8190]

Thank you!! I have been enjoying cashew and coconut non-dairy LR yogurts. I'm wondering if it's possible to culture L. Reuteri in kefir?

[@ErnstHeinze-iw4gq]

No! Don't mix with other strains when fermenting.

[@browneyedgirlFL67]

Where can I find your article on the bifido? Also which culture increases the bifido when making yogurt? Thank you.

[@bradleyrm]

Use the links in the description.

[@susanf1163]

I’m going to try both of these recipes since I can’t have dairy. Can these milks work for making easy Kefir too? Thanks for all you do!

[@tinkerbellbetty]

Runny ones. Can u make a smoothie with it?

[@bowhunter8235]

I'm a man NEW to all this.. Tried pasturizing raw milk today but made cheese. I do have A LOT of whey. Question: Can I grow L-Reuteri in whey and drink it. I dont have to have thick beautiful creamy Anything. I just want th benifits of L- Reuteri. Where can I see Oriented recipe for oat milk Reuteri AGAIN, I dont care about th fancy fancy just get th good bacteria in me... ...also wanting to combine Reuteri and Gasseri. HELP PLEASE

[@carolynchan9518]

Just buy L.Reuteri capsules and take them. They are made well enough to get past the heat of the stomach to dissolve in the gut.

[@benjaminwingchun9665]

What about with soy milk?

[@johnmead6484]

Hi there . I have a luvele yoghurt machine that has a 2 litre glass container. I wish to make 2 ltrs at a time of l reuteri . What quantities of the tablets or can I use some of the 1ltrs that I've made previous.

[@ErnstHeinze-iw4gq]

Check Donna's other videos on how to make yogurt. You can use 2 tbsp of the former batch to make a new batch.

[@peterpiper5300]

What if i want the drinkable yogurt drink, not the very creamy or scoopable kind?

[@lindaaulenti3087]

How much desiccated coconut?? I tried this several times before and got pink slime on top. Deeply disappointed. But willing to try again.

[@lindaaulenti3087]

Yes this "pink" slime happened to me also. Twice. I am trying again after a long sabbatical..

[@carolynchan9518]

Coconut powder can be purchased. The box will tell you the preportions to mix to make cream or coconut milk without any of the mess of making with dessicated coconut.

[@rochelles.8387]

Help. I made a batch using my original starter. I have a slight amount of separation which is fine but there is a tan/brown growth on the top. I spooned it off and it smells fine. I did taste about 1/4 teaspoon and it tastes fine but is it safe to eat? I whisked it after I scooped the growth off and it is smooth and creamy. What is the growth and is it safe to eat?

[@rochelles.8387]

I used 2 tablespoons of the first starter yogurt and 2 tablespoons of acacia powder and 2 teaspoons agar agar in addition to the coconut cream solids and organic soy milk (I'm fine with the soy and can't eat oats).

[@rochelles.8387]

Sorry, I used 2 teaspoons maple syrup to feed the L. Reuteri.

[@rosasalas1437]

I need this Donna I took lot of Anna biattics..

[@bradleyrm]

[@Aaron84danielle]

If you drain the yogurt to make it thicker is it safe to drink the whey? Do you lose some health benefits if you drain it?

[@andyhamilton9459]

Donna has said on other episodes the whey can be consumed and has all the same health benefits.

[@aperson1181]

what yogurt maker do you suggest?

[@Cocobean4]

Can you use heavy whipping cream instead of half/half making l-reuteri?

[@gailneedham9930]

Can make it too thick

[@BarbaraWiltGerber]

I made one batch with heavy cream and it was too thick, like cream cheese.

[@shahidaessop9209]

Where r the recipes?

[@bradleyrm]

Use the links in the description.

[@shespeaksponiards]

Is it possible to culture a dairy free half n Half?

[@kathrynsinclare8459]

Can’t find the recipes. 😢

[@browneyedgirlFL67]

Where can I find the yogurt plus that I add to the yogurt?

[@bradleyrm]

Use the links in the description.

[@elizabethpeterson858]

You’ll need to go to her website cultured Food life. Click on the menu bar and you will see the different items discussed. There is a link that says products. Click on that and you will see the different culture she sells. Yogurt plus is one of them. It’s not as powerful as l reuteri but very good nevertheless and takes only eight hours instead of 36 hours.

[@bwin3401]

Have you considered starting with canned coconut milk or cream that is Asian sourced?

[@thodgecad5372]

I did that and it turned out very watery. Not sure what I did wrong

[@bwin3401]

@@thodgecad5372 here’s what I did. Maybe this will help. I used canned coconut milk from Thailand. One brand says it’s organic cream which is very good. I refrigerate the cans and then scoop out the cream which rises to the top. What’s left is a watery milk which can be used for whatever. After the yogurt is done, I shake the jars to mix any watery stuff with the more solid stuff and immediately refrigerate. Works for me every time. Good luck. Try again.

[@thodgecad5372]

Thank you ! I will try that! I didn't remove the watery stuff. @@bwin3401

[@inthevortex-de1rh]

Do you sell the yogurt? I am interested in purchasing it from you

[@WeeFriends-m4z]

I am diabetic. How much sugar is in a 8 oz glass of milk kiefer?

[@8mora888]

No sugar is left if the milk kefir is fermented long enough. The kefir will be tart tasting.

[@robbidi123]

how much dried coconut?

[@jesusobinumedina8308]

Dairy free and what about sugar?

[@aperson1181]

what is that yogurt plus?

[@missMinette1965]

Why don't you make the actual videos.....thanks

[@lamegalectora]

So this podcast is how to make nondairy milk not how to make yoghurt!
