What we thought

We found the EasiYo yoghurt maker really easy to use and the yoghurt was thick, creamy and delicious. I love the idea that I can have a few sachets of yoghurt mix in the cupboard and make them up for the next day. It is a great way to reduce plastic waste and also helps cut out unnecessary trips to the shops.

The yoghurt maker is a nice size to store away in a cupboard when it is not in use and the 1kg jar fits nicely in the fridge. I have some smaller pots which I decanted the yoghurt into. That way I have six equal portions for the family to share. If I didn’t do this the yoghurt would disappear very quickly as its so nice.
