They use milk from Irish cows — so you know it's gonna be unbelievably creamy.
Inside the box was the yogurt-maker and a jar. I'd also ordered some sachets (I'd gone for Greek Style Natural) which luckily arrived the same day.
The powder sachets come in all kinds of flavours, from Vanilla and Blueberry, to Salted Caramel and Cappuccino, plus there are plant-based and reduced-sugar options. I opted to make the Greek Style Natural yogurt first, as it's the most versatile and I wanted to see how many different ways I could use it throughout the week.

There's really not a lot to it!
It's a special moment, let me tell you. I'd finally made yogurt at home, after all this time! And it felt effortless. This was cause for celebration.
Not only that, it tasted AMAZING. Similar to the Greek yogurt I buy from the store, only nicer. Fresher-tasting, slightly creamier and with a touch more tanginess.
From a single 170g sachet I'd made 1kg of yogurt. Plus, it's obviously as fresh as it comes.
So I picked a few that I knew my kids would demolish. And then got to making.
Brinner (breakfast x dinner) anyone?
I was surprised at how many meals I could make with just one round of yogurt — which sucked, because all I could think about was feeling like a food scientist again and making another batch.
The possibilities are endless.
It's also worth noting — you have less pressure around use-by dates, which can sometimes be an issue if you buy yogurt from a store. The sachets have a shelf-life of 18 months, so they can sit in your cupboard until you need to bring them out for a particular recipe.
No one needs more kitchen appliances to plug in, let's face it.
