Veggie Yogurt!

Dear Vandhana,
I had no clue up until today rennet is meat product. Makes me think twice. Now I will be very careful and probably buy all cheese varities from TJ.

This post is for vegans/vegetarians. A friend of mine discovered that yopleit has Gelatin ( Animal Fat) as an ingredient. I never knew that and used to take yopleit after food for 3 months. It was a substitute for dessert, to satisfy my sweet cravings after dinner. Also since it has live bacteria, I loved it so much.
Unfortunately many milk based products here in US, have Gelatin as ingredient. I saw it in some buttermilk boxes too.

In diet suggestion we come across yoghurt as a good thing to eat. But is there any alternate to Yopleit without Gelatin. I love flavored yogurt and I am missing it a lot.

Hi Meena,
We had this discussion a long time back. I have merged your post with this thread so we can continue where we left off. please go though the responses above and come back with questions.

Is the enzyme only in flavored yogurt or is it in plain yogurt also??? Pls someone clarify this for me.
After going through this thread I am v upset.It is v difficult to select food items in this country.
Unknowingly i feel i have ended up eating non veg at times which is making me feel bad.
PS: no offense meant to any meat eaters.

Dannon plain yogurt doesnt have any gelatin and its yummy when I add strawberry syrup or mango puree...and my kids says"yogurt ice cream".

No yogurt comes close to home-made in my opinion. I make soups at home, using most vegetables, pastas , bulgar, Quinoa flakes or Quinoa pasta , black beans etc.. Quinoa , by the way is what we call Kambu in tamil. To the soups , I add homemade vegetable stock.

My family just loves this soup on a cold wintry night.
