I'm sure many of you are doing it already, but I just started making my own yogurt.
Yes, I invested $37 into a yogurt machine (all it does is keeps a constant warm temperature, but I strongly prefer glass jars over the plastic ones, so I bought a more expensive one).
This is the second batch I'm making.
I used 1/4 gallon of organic milk to make 6 cups, so it comes out to $2.5 or 42 cents for each jar of ORGANIC, PROBIOTIC, FRESH, NO STABILIZERS or PRESERVATIVES, NO HFCS or sugar yogurt. (if I choose to, I'll add something sweet, but I will know exactly how much)
It is quite simple. All I needed was to heat milk and mix in some probiotic yogurt (I kept some from the last batch I made, so I no longer need to buy a jar to use as a starter).
Tomorrow our breakfast will be a jar of yogurt with crushed roasted almonds and a thin layer of honey on top, freshly made steel cut oatmeal, good coffee and a orange juice.
Today I did not go out for breakfast either - I made an omelet with melted in fresh mozzarella, and some sliced tomatoes covered in pressed garlic w salt/pepper and fresh basil leaves. I love weekends. Having time to eat breakfast at leisure with DH is nice.
Another money saving healthy idea
