Yogurt -- Natural Non-Fat Vegan Cheap and Good

[Guest guest]

I've recently been making TONS of great vegan yogurt by using my

soymilk machine. Instead of soybeans I use lentils and a few spoonfuls

of oats (for creaminess), with very little sugar and salt and ferment

the result with my favorite yogurt cultures. Those are the ONLY

ingredients. It usually has a nice spoonable texture once chilled,

after fermenting. Unlike homemade soymilk, the LOM -- lentil-oat-milk

-- doesn't separate and sets pretty firm in the fridge without needing

any stabilizers or thickeners. Lentils and oats also don't have any

fat to speak of, and of course no cholesterol, lactose or animal

stuff. Taste is of the best " soy " yogurt with just a little nuttiness

from the lentils.

 

Maybe call it Yolo for yogurt-lentil-oat? I've been reading where

Indians tradionally fermented dahl made of lentils or garbanzos.
