 cheaper elsewhere Jun 09, 2010
All varieties of Easiyo that I've tried are wonderful. However, Amazon tripled their price last year. Go to the easiyo site to find other US providers.

 Tastes great but way too much saturated fat! May 13, 2010
Lets face it, we are at a crossroads in this country in regards to the food people are putting into their bodies. Obesity in the US is absolutely out of control. Its gotten so bad that most of the food companies have now agreed to cut the fat content even with the junk food they produce like candy bars and potato chips. You will start to see these changes rolling out very soon. So it pains me to see something like this. A lot of people will think they are eating healthy by eating Easiyo yogurt as most people assume that yogurt is healthy especially if they are making it themselves. Yet low and behold this yogurt is absolutely LOADED with saturated fat and I do mean loaded. 1 serving of Easiyo Greek Style Yogurt has 25% of your daily value of saturated fat and that is only for a serving size of 1 cup. Some flavors of Easiyo are as high as 30% of the daily value. You have a 2 cup serving, which is a far more realistic serving size, and your already at 50%-60% of the daily recommended saturated fat levels. To put this in perspective, my favorite yogurt is Breyers and a 1 cup serving of Breyers yogurt has only 1 gram of saturated fat for 5% of your daily value. You will find similar values for Dannon, Yoplait, Stonyfield, Etc. To put it in a little better perspective, A Big Mac from McDonald's only has 10 grams of saturated fat so 2 cups of this yogurt has as much saturated fat as a BIG MAC. That is nothing short of insane!!
Look ill be the first one to admit that this yogurt tastes great. One of the main reasons why it tastes so good is because its absolutely loaded with saturated fat. Its pretty much common sense that the more fat something has the better it tastes and the better its texture especially with dairy products. So if you are someone who could care less about the foods they are putting into their body or if your actually looking to gain weight then by all means dig into some Easiyo. If however you are watching what you eat or trying to lose weight then you should stay as far away from Easiyo as you can. This is basically the most unhealthy yogurt I have ever seen and I have been eating yogurt for over 25 years.
Bottom line - Yeah it tastes great, then again I am pretty sure dirt would taste great if you mixed it with this much saturated fat. Do yourself a favor and stick with store bought yogurt or learn how to make your own yogurt from scratch, without having to use these Easiyo packets. Its not hard and you can make your batches much healthier than what your getting here. Again society is at a crossroads in regards to the food we are putting in our bodies every day. If nothing is done, the health problems caused from obesity alone will literally bankrupt the US health care system by 2025. This is a fact. Do your body a favor and go with a much healthier brand of yogurt. It may not taste as good but its going to be far better for your body!!

 Amazing but... Apr 13, 2010
O.K. So I gave in and just ordered the Easiyo Yogurt Maker and Greek style yogurt base and culture packets because of all the great reviews on how easy it is to use and how awesome the yogurt comes out.It arrived yesterday and OMG how amazing! Five minutes prep,eight hours later,Perfect greek style yogurt with just water,a packet,and no electricity!
Wow,but yes expensive considering the packet cost me $15 to make 1 quart. I don't understand Ana's review on how this comes in at under $3.75 a quart. What am I missing,I'm confused,any math clarification help would be greatly appreciated.
B.T.W. I ordered these 3 days ago on Amazon,free 2day delivery(prime) and they are having a special offer at this time of buy 4 for price of 3. I guess that makes each packet approx. $11 dollars plus free shipping which is better than $15. Do not know how long this will last so might order another batch of 4 while I can! Love this.

Very Easy--But Outrageously Priced Mar 05, 2010
This yogurt is a no-brainer to make even without the Easiyo System. I just mixed it with water, poured it into jelly jars and put it in the oven on the bread proofing setting--and perfect Greek yogurt! I bought 4 packs for the price of three on special through Amazon just a few months ago and it was only $4.75 a packet. So I bought something else and got free shipping. I was very pleased with the purchase. Somehow in the meantime, the price has nearly quadrupled and I'm not sure why. I kept looking thinking I had made a mistake and was looking at a larger quantity or something. But, no, it was the same one. So that priced me out of the market and I won't be buying it again. I just bought some Greek yogurt from the store, stirred 5 oz. of it into heated milk (that had cooled down), put it in the oven--and once again, perfect Greek yogurt -- at a much cheaper price than $15.

 $15.00??????? What? Feb 16, 2010
I bought these yogurt mizxes last August, and the price was $4.95 per packet. It is completely incomprehensible why they would have tripled in price in half a year. There is no way I would buy 6oz of powdered milk and starter culture for this price.
