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.

I've used this with the Easiyo yogurt maker and it's wonderful! It's so rich and creamy my husband will eat it. Yes, it's pricey, but remember you don't need milk and it's available 4-for-3 if you order it from Amazon--just go to "other buying options" on the right of this page near "add to cart." Keeping that in mind, it's about the same price as premium store-bought but much better. Not sure what the story is with the long ship time--they must've just run out of stock.

Other than traveling to Greece or New Zealand for perfect, natural, organic yogurt, the EasiYo yogurt-maker is the best deal. It really IS easy! 3 quick steps, wait a few hours, and you have it. Delicious! Healthy! Homemade! No detailed heating and measuring & testing temperatures. Just 1. put the dry starter base in the container, 2. fill with cold water & shake well, 3. put the container in the thermos & fill thermos with boiling water. That's it! In 6-8 hours, you can start enjoying fresh, organic yogurt. A child could do it. My only concern is that the dry starter base is a bit expensive, but I buy 4-6 at a time, to save on shipping. Natural & Greek style are my favorites!

The yogurt was creamy & delicious but I did have an allergic reaction to it as I am sensitive to most foods but my daughter & grandsons really enjoyed eating it.

This makes a delicious yoghurt which happens to be all natural, a plus in my book. It is sweet, creamy and can be eaten with little or no embellishment it is that good. I have also used it as a starter to make my own yoghurt with successful results.

I'm new to the yogurt making arena, but have to say our first batch with Easlyo Natural Yogurt starter was absolutely perfect...wife and daughter were amazed! I'll be ordering more very soon and looking to try the Greek variety also. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

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 has 30% of your daily value of saturated fat and that is only for a serving size of 1 cup. You have a 2 cup serving and your already at 60% for your daily 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. To put it in a little better perspective, A Big Mac from McDonald's only has 10 grams of saturated fat so 1.5 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. The reason it tastes great is 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 pig out on 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 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 far 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!!
