 cheaper elsewhere Jun 13, 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 Sweet Peach 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!!
 Sooo Good Oct 18, 2009
Picture a juicy, ripe peach mixed with a bit of yogurt and there you have it! I don't know how they do it. Each flavor I've tried is so true and on the mark I am hard pressed to choose a favorite, they are all so good!A tip: I have found I can get 5cups of yogurt in a batch (that's about 1/4" below the brim, after all it says fill to the top, and yes I CAN still easily shake, just make sure the lid is secure). Even with the 4c, after 8 hrs I always check as sometimes it is not set. I always check my water not just the yogurt, if the water is cold, I replace it with warm tap water and my yogurt is set within another hour or 2 like clockwork, it's ready for the frig!
Very Easy Oct 13, 2009
This is a very easy yogurt to use. Great for getting into yogurt making. Love it.
Favorite yogurt, easy method Sep 09, 2009
First, this has to be the easiest no-electricity way to make fresh yogurt at home. I often do it overnight. While there is no question that EasiYo bases are not a cheap way to make yogurt, the quality seems to be very consistent.
With the peach base, I find the yogurt takes longer to set usual. It can be quite liquid after 6-8 hours. I've learned to take the lid off, check it, and close it up again in the thermos for a few more hours before checking it again. The peach is my favorite, so I've been patient in learning to get the right consistency. The final step of putting it in the refrigerator to chill is also important. If I am tempted to take some off the top chilling it, the disturbance seems to affect the consistency.
I'm still trying to figure out if I create my own mix from powdered milk, but of course I'd not have the flavors options.
