I have used this item over the last year, even subscribing to a monthly delivery as I prefer soy yogurt over dairy yogurt. Awhile back, the package I received did not activate. I still kept the subscription.
Since then, until now, it has worked. The yogurt became a part of my daily diet, something I sorely missed when I gave up dairy.
The package I received at the beginning of December, 2023, lot 6/07-129, had new packaging for the individual packets. It did not activate. I tried 3 out of the 4 packets. No activation.
This is a pricey product, but I always felt it was worth it due to the yogurt that it created. However, this is now a repeated pattern of the activation not happening.
I can’t return it or request a refund because it’s a food item. There is no way to contact the seller about it. The only help provided is a AI chatbot.
There appears to be a quality control issue with this product. I will have to find some other alternative.

I used it to make coconut yogurt in my instant pot. I have had problems getting my your thick enough with just probiotics, so I thought I would try a vegan yogurt starter. I use the whole can not just the cream. It still needed to be a little bit thicker for my liking. I didn’t want to use another packet of starter for only 2 cans of coconut milk, so I experimented by adding xanthan gum first. That required 2.5 tsp to get it where I wanted it to be, but left it feeling a bit gritty. I next tried agar agar. With 1 tsp. It really improved the consistency of my yogurt, and after refrigeration, it was very good. I like it better than store bought yogurt because that tends to be runny.
The little bit of extra time required to add the agar agar is well worth it in my opinion. I can recommend this product.

Worked easily. I do think it’s overpriced.

I have used this product for over three years. I use it with Eden Soy Milk so it provides me with a yogurt, which I definitely missed when I stopped eating dairy products. This item is easy to use, and the process is quick if using an Instant Pot or a yogurt maker. Anything that is easy and fast and produces a product one likes, is well worth the time! I do recommend this product if you no longer eat dairy products but miss access to yogurt–it also allows me to make vegan sour cream!!! mmmmmmm —- mmmmmm good result

Here’s mine. Its still being perfected. Feedback appreciated —-
I use an Instant Pot to make Vegan Yogurt, because once I press the Yogurt button and set the time, I don’t have to do anything to it till its done. It can’t scald because the temp never gets that high. The Instant Pot Yogurt button defaults to 8 hours, but I increase the time to around 12 hours for dairy yogurt, and 16 hours for vegan yogurt. You can always take it out early, or add time. But you don’t want to run out of time and then have to heat it up again if you can avoid that. I hear slow cookers also work but have not tried it.
For vegan yogurts I use “enhanced” corn starch to thicken, and the right thickener is essential. I’m still experimenting, but my most recent attempt made a very thick vegan yogurt. Seach “clear gel powder corn starch” to find the “enhanced” version of corn starch on Amazon. It works best so far — the only downside is that you need more heat to mix in the corn starch, so I heat my vegan milk to using the Saute option on the Instant Pot, and in this case you do have to watch the pot and change it over to the Yogurt setting before it scalds, but the thickener dissolves nicely. There are other types of thickeners that may work well too. I haven’t tried Pectin yet.
The other essential seems to be to use the right non-dairy milk product, with a very high protein content. I have had the most success so far with Ripple brand, which is made with Pea Protein. There is a Silk brand product called “Silk Protein and Nut Milk” that is made with Almonds & Cashews & Pea Protein that also worked well for me. I can be hard to find but should get easier as pea protein products get more established in the market.
I also drain off the whey after it cools and before it goes in the fridge. (Save it for cooking soup or baking or pour it down the drain). It comes out fairly thick and thickens more in the fridge.
My evolving recipe so far is:
o 2 qts of high quality high protein non dairy milk.
o 3/8ths to 1/2 cup coconut sugar
o 2 tbsp of vanilla flavor, or 1/2 tbsp of vanilla paste (optional)
o 3/8ths cup of enhanced corn starch
o one packet of vegan yogurt starter
o 2 tbsp of Agar Agar powder (optional)
In an Instant Pot:
o heat 1/2 qt of the milk at the Saute setting for about 15 minutes, making sure it does not scald, then mix in the thickener.]
o add the rest of the milk
o mix in the remaining ingredients
o set the pot to the Yogurt setting, and increase the time to 16 hours.
o check to see how thick it is periodically after about 12 hours
o turn off the pot after you are happy with the thickness.
o after it cools for while, drain off the whey for 15 minutes using cheese cloth
o scoop out the yogurt, without stirring it, into the containers for the fridge
Yield for 2 qts of non-dairy milk after draining the whey is about 1.8 to 1.9 qts of yogurt.

I made two batches with this culture: one with oat milk, the other with soy milk. None of them worked. (I make regular milk yogurt twice a week, and the results with other cultures are perfect.). There is a new ingredient label glued on top of the original ingredients: what am I buying, then? Disappointed and frustrated by an expensive product. Still frustrated with the instructions and claims. Not buying it again, and absolutely do not recommend.

I have not yet made the yogurt, but two things already get negative points: Product description on Amazon says it can be used with any plant milk. Instructions on packaging say soy milk only. So if you cannot have or do not like soy milk, or bought oat milk in anticipation… you’re out of luck. Or you need two other ingredients to make it work. So, nope. Second negative: vague instructions. Packet says mix it with 1-2 quarts of milk. There’s a huge difference between 1 and 2 quarts. Results will not be the same.
I’ve been making yogurt at home for a while, precise measurements are always key.
Only 4 batches of yogurt for the price. Sorta steep. We’ll see how this goes. Will edit with better ratings if results are good.

I have been making vegan yogurt for years. I bought this culture in November, less than a month ago. I use the same soy milk, thermometer, etc and use a yogurt maker, nothing changed except for the yogurt starter. So my guess after two tries, that the starter was bad. I went to my original order and clicked on replace or return…the item is not returnable. I will never use a product from this company again.

This is a wonderful vegan yogurt starter. It’s very easy to use and the yogurt came out perfectly. I made it in my Instant Pot using the Yogurt setting. The recipe: a 32oz box of Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soy Milk (no added ingredients), one packet of starter (the package contains 4), and one Tablespoon (8 grams) of tapioca starch to help thicken it. Whisk it all together using a very clean bowl and whisk. I put the mixture into three pint sized jars and set the Instant Pot for 15 hours (overnight is easiest.) You should be able to do it in less time, but this was my first try and I wanted to make sure it was good. It was! Not too tart, even with the extra time. Refrigerate for about 6-8 hours before using. This will help to set and thicken it.
I used one whole jar from my first batch of yogurt as a starter for my second batch and used the same amount of time. I had heard from somewhere that with vegan yogurt you needed to use starter from the packet each time. Well, this batch came out nicely, although the yogurt was much thinner. I still like it a lot and the thin yogurt was great over a spicy vegan black bean chili. For the next batch I will start over with the packaged yogurt starter. It’s really good and I already bought my second order of four because I’m sure I’ll be needing it soon. The instructions inside the packaging tell you to store the unused packets in the freezer. Oh, and don’t use aluminum bowls/utensils. Stainless steel is okay.
Note: Instructions say you can make 32-64oz of yogurt with one packet of starter. I made 32oz. I’ll try 64oz soon.
