This yogurt starter ensures a light delicious flavor and the healthy bacteria without commercial thickeners, sweeteners or other artificial ingredients. For around ten years now it works for me and now I have changed from a smaller 'incubator' to success with the Instant pot larger batches.

I'm new to making my own yogurt. Natren Yogurt Starter is a life-saver for me as I disliked using existing yogurt. Easy to use and so important to my health and well-being. Thank you for making life easier!
Margaret M.
I am so grateful to have been able to prepare my own homemade Greek yogurt using fresh raw milk from our local farm and Natren Yogurt Starter. Delicious, nutrient dense, and rich in live probiotics. I've been doing this for twenty years.
My family and I enjoy abundant good health thanks to Natren.

This makes the best yogurt!

I use a teaspoon with 1/2 gallon of Eden Foods' original soy milk to make a nice yogurt. I also use a little less than 1/4 teaspoon, along with a couple other probiotics, to ferment about 2 cups of steel cut oats in maybe a little more than 3 cups of water in which a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of honey have been dissolved, having let the salted water off-gas for a day before adding the honey and probiotics. After fermenting for about a day, the quart jar in which it is done is quite full.

Excellent product.

We have been using Natren's Yogurt Starter for over a year and love how it makes yogurt. Natren's starter has all of the essential bacteria required for the best gut health and when added to organic A2/A2 grass-fed milk produces thick and creamy yogurt which not only tastes great (i.e. no sour taste) but is great for you! I highly recommend this yogurt starter.
Claudine P.
Always top quality!
Plus, I had delivery trouble - delayed. It arrived after 7 days and was hot to the touch. Natren replaced the order, no problem. Yay!
Larissa P.
Best Yogurt ever!
Will most definitely purchase again.
Joy D.
Used this product for years & it is very reliable for making quality yogurt.
Sarah S.
This makes wonderful yogurt! We eat it in several dishes and make lassis daily! Thank you!
Audrey H.
Been using it for years to make yogurt. Now we have raw milk in Arkansas and lit works great in raw milk.
Veronica H.
Makes the best yogurt

This powder results in the best flavored and textured yogurt. My friends have said they've never tasted yogurt this good
Brooks I.
I'm only rating at 3 stars because I haven't had an opportunity to use the yogurt starter yet. The directions seem straightforward and easy to follow so I look forward to the next weekend when I have free time to get this started! More to follow....
Janice H.
My son is on a special diet and makes his own yogurt. He always uses your brand as yogurt starter. Good quality!
Jessica L.
Used to culture cream and process into cultured ghee. Love this product
Steven l.
Hadn't made yogurt for several years. Yogurt starter had aged out so purchased more. My recipe called for additional whole milk powder; found some in the freezer of unknown age but used it anyway. Result was a great firm texture, knife stands up in it firm but tasted like old ingredients. Will do next batch with new whole milk powder. I put into 1/2 pint mason jars and cure in sous vide water bath at 110 F.
Jason L.
Good for my health.
Beverly P.
Marianne Teitlebaum recommended Natren yogurt probiotics so I decided to try it. I used 1.5 qts goat milk (pasteurized) plus 1 pint of half n half, followed the directions on culture container, used my elec. Yogurt maker & after 10 hours, it came out perfect and very delicious!! Thanks! Highly recommended!
Samvel V.
good package and good product
Susan M.
I love making my own yoghurt with this starter kit. I enjoy the yoghurt every day for breakfast and find it is a good way to start my day!
Timothy K.
I am actually loving my homemade yogurt.
Dwight S.
Your gut will thank you
Carl M.
Best starter I have found.
Jane R.
Excellent starter and appreciate the video on how to make homemade yogurt.
Janet N.
The first time I tried the product, the yogurt did not get properly. With some trial and error I got it to work. It was recommended by my doctor and I will purchase it again.
Amanda T.
This starter makes the best yogurt hands down! Everyone who tried it loves it, and it’s perfect for settling my gut.
JEZABEL C.
I always use Natren yogurt starter. It last and get a great quality yogurt.
Donna K.
I have been using the yogurt starter for about 2 years and it always makes great yogurt. I will continue to purchase this product.
Alexander T.
Took me a little while to get around to trying it but I finally did.
I followed the instructions on the label closely because I am new to the world of yogurt making.. The yogurt looked fantastic after 8 hours but then I left it for another 8 hours in the fridge and just became this amazing yogurt you can't buy anywhere! Phenomenal!
I used the cheapest whole milk from Ralph's and it worked out great
Two things, though:
Don't skip the heating the milk up to 180, then cooling it down to 108 step, it is very important!
Finally, for fans of extra sour, somewhat thin yogurt, the way Bulgarian yogurt is, my batch would disappoint you. It was thick and creamy in texture and with a good sweet/sour balance
Carol K.
Easy to follow instructions. Taste great!
Bhaskar Charan K.
Yogurt came out really well . It had good flavor and texture
Vanlianpar B.
I love the texture and taste of the result with this culture
sam a.
I have been using Natren Yogurt starter for many years and appreciate the yield and consistency achieved!
Joy D.
I’ve been using Batten’s yogurt starter for over 7 years. I’ve never had a batch of yogurt turn out poorly. The taste is always exceptional!
Rebekka M.
Very easy to make.
Stephanie M.
Very well packaged, easy to use
Turquoise H.
We have been making our yogurt with Natren's yogurt starter for many years and without fail! Each week we put up two one liter wire-bail jars of yogurt with airlocks to insure their probiotic culture stays intact for the long run. We have a picture of it my wife took eight years ago but I can't manage to move it out of its JPG file onto this review to show how it looks as a regular feature of our daily food regimen. (Turquoise had a stroke and I am left trying to pick up the pieces of how things on the computer work, sorry!)
Amanda T.
This is the best tasting yogurt ever, seriously! The activation has been spot on, the simple to execute.
Susan M.
I tried this in a yoghurt maker as I didn't have a double saucepan. I followed the recipe as advised but after the milk cooled down, I added the Natren Yoghurt powder and then put it in the jars and in the yoghurt maker for 9 hours. Its turned out really well - its quite sour but smooth and creamy at the same time. Im eating it without any other fruits etc and like it! I will definately make this again! I was hoping that Natren would also offer a yoghurt making video or recipe for non-dairy products like soy or oat or almond milk.
Bonnie A.
I've been using this product for about two years now. My Ayurvedic practitioner told me Natren has the best quality probiotics. I can't attest to that, but I can say my yogurt comes out perfect every time. I make it about once a week with raw milk. I'm also very happy with Natren's customer service. I've called a few times with questions about making yogurt. Staff has always been friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Leslie T.
Natren Yoghurt Starter worked well. I drain my yoghurt to be more like Greek Yoghurt but like that this starter makes it more fluffy than my other batches made with yoghurt as a starter.
Linda H.
Makes a great, mild tasting yogurt that my family enjoys. And it's really easy to make.
Paul R.
Made a nice yogurt.
Tanya B.
My yogurt turned out perfect! The texture and the flavor are wonderful. Great addition to my breakfast.
cynthia s.
used 2 tsp with 12 c of raw milk. My husband has Lebanese taste buds, and he really liked the 'tang' like lebna
Linda H.
It's easy to use, and the starter is making a great tasting mild yogurt.
Sally N.
I was excited to use my new yogurt starter. I sterilized my instant pot as usual, let it cool, added milk and cream and warmed them on the yogurt setting, then added the starter, 2 teaspoons per 1/2 gallon. I set the timer for 10 hours. I checked the yogurt around 8 hours, and it had barely thickened. I added some of my yogurt and 3 hours later added some more. Finally after about 5 more hours the yogurt was done. The yogurt tastes good, but I was very disappointed that it did not set.
Gabriele N.
Where to begin, from Dr. Teitelbaum, to Divya Alter and ayurvedic cooking, these yogurt cultures have been so highly recommended and i am so glad i tried them. The yogurt comes out absolutely divine every single time, i don’t even need to flavor it.. Gut health has been improving significantly, thank you so much Natren!
Alexandra F.
I will tell you more after I have made a first batch of yogurt!
All best wishes to you for the holidays, and happy new year!
Alex
Jaya P.
The best yogurt starter, great for the gut and excellent taste! Easy to make as well.
Pamela G.
Consistent quality. Absolutely delicious tasting yogurt. The only yogurt starter I’ve ever used.
Anna F.
I make the most delicious yogurt with this probiotic - super light and creamy!
Sujatha M.
Love the yogurt starter. Makes really good yogurt. Thank you so much for providing this in helping us improve our health .
Bonnie A.
This is the only yogurt starter I've ever used, but I think my recommendation is still legit. My Ayurvedic practitioner told me it's the only one to use because of the high quality probiotics. I'm making and eating yogurt to improve my health so that's important. Since I learned to make yogurt with this product, I can't compare it with others. But I can say it's very easy to use and my yogurt comes out perfect every single time. I've been making yogurt frequently for two years now. It's the most delicious yogurt I've ever had. That's not bragging. It's mostly because of the farm fresh raw whole milk I'm using, but I do believe the Natren starter is a contributing factor.
Byron B.
This Bulgarian yogurt starter powder has restored in my homemade yogurt the genuine taste of plain commercial yogurt which is no longer available in my country.
Sharon C.
I love Yogurt Starter!
Patricia S.
This is the best yogurt starter I've found. I've tried many others but always go back. It's quick and easy and it makes delicious yogurt, smooth and mild.
Margie W.
makes great yogurt
Anna F.
I made yogurt for the very first time! It came out super creamy and delicious! I love making yogurt with this culture!
Steve R.
Really love this yogurt starter . I will be ordering more today
Martina T.
Have used for years and when I share my yogurt with people they love the taste and texture of it. I always tout the wonderful probiotic content, very important to me as I have an autoimmune disease. Heartily recommend
John D.
Awesome product. We enjoy making the yogurt
Christina D.
Used it in yogurt machine and worked well. Very yummy, easy to use. Strain to get the consistency you want.
Amanda V.
My children absolutely devour this by the gallon a week. They sleep more soundly I’m grateful.
Charles S.
Packaged well beyond my expectations. The best yogurt starter. Accept no substitute.
Kenneth T.
My wife and I have been using the probiotics for years. We recently purchased the yogurt starter. We are very pleased with the ease of use and additional benefits from eating healthy home yogurt. Delicious!!
Martina T.
I wouldn’t buy any other yogurt starter and I would never waste my money on an OTC brand because I know they have few actual probiotics. I share my yogurt with friends who always compliment it and I am quick to remind them what wonderful things it is doing for their gut. The taste is a little tarter than store bought brands but easily sweetened with honey if desired and I love blueberries and granola on mine. Love the product
carol p.
Natren Is the ONLY Yogurt starter you ever need! It was recommended by my doctor and we love it! Making yogurt is much easier than I thought - my family AND our dog LOVE this product!
Emilie W.
For years I have been making and enjoying homemade yogurt. The probiotics are provided by Nature via USPS. I like to tell friends about the excellent strain combination known to me as "the King of Bulgaria's" original yogurt. It is good! What I have learned to do to make the 4% milk yogurt thicker by leaving the hot milk on the stove and covered for at least a half an hour before testing temperature and adding the Natren probiotic powder.
Sidney G.
Made really great yogurt for me. Thanks
Donna K.
Great product, works very well in making my own yogurt. The yogurt strains are easy on the colon and are helping my body to function better. The product is shipped quickly and packaged well.
Claudine P.
Makes the tastiest yogurt!
Thomas C.
Easy to use and produces fantastic yogurt!
Judith J.
I made perfect yogurt the very first time I tried to make yogurt. I was shocked -- and very impressed.
Steven R.
My wife and I have been taking Healthy Trinity for a few years. We also have made our own yogurt. A friend told us that every time we use the last batch of yogurt as a starter for the new batch, the active agents in the yogurt die. And that Natren's yogurt starter is full of active bacteria, so we got some. It's true. It tastes really good and just alive in a way the old yogurt wasn't.
Katelyn E.
I enjoy this product because of its high quality :) The customer service is always helpful, too.
Gareth H.
I love this starter. I have used it to make yogurt, yogurt butter, and finally ghee. Awesome product!
Laura S.
This yogurt starter is amazing and makes the smoothest, most delicious yogurt. I was able to make several batches from one bottle. It’s my go-to starter for yogurt. I won’t shop anywhere else.
Patricia S.
If you want to make yogurt with live cultures, this is your best bet for success. I highly recommend it.
Jael W.
Great yogurt starter, really good for my gut health.
Jan E.
My best tasting yogurt uses the Natren starter. The yogurt gets complimented by my friends and is easy to make, maybe only ten minutes, then I let it incubate for ten hours. The jar usually lasts 6 months or more making (7) six ounce servings each week.
Joy D.
I have never had a batch of yogurt not turn out! The flavor & texture is amazing, & it’s way healthier than store bought alternatives! Highly recommend!
Charlene P.
I learned how to make homemade yogurt. I couldn’t believe how easy it is to make!! Of course using this wonderful yogurt starter makes all the difference. I will never buy store bought yogurt again there is no comparison in taste! Know what you are eating make your own.
Audrey H.
Been using Natren yogurt starter for years and never had a batch that didn't make yogurt. Bought an extra bottle for my neighbor as they wanted to start making their own. Just wish the shipping was cheaper.
carol p.
We love the yogurt starter. It’s really been a life changer. The Customer service is exceptional.
Lidia N.
We love to make homemade yogurt. My husband and children enjoy eating it with fruit and seeds. It’s very healthy and delicious!
Ralph P.
It makes great tasting and very healthy yogurt. We make it using raw milk and it's delicious! We've been using this product for many years and will be in the future.
Kassandra P.
We have made both goat milk and cows milk yogurt and we LOVE it. It's very easy and extremely yummy.
We're happy that it's live cultures added into organic milk and nothing else. Great product!
Lidia N.
Love making homemade yogurt! My family enjoys eating yogurt with fresh berries.
Diana B W.
This is a wonderful product and works very well. The yogurt tastes delicious!
Syama M.
I made my first batch of yogurt and it came out great using natren yogurt starter. I’m excited to know of all the probiotic benefit I am using to make for my family.
Emilie W.
I love homemade yogurt. Over many years I have improved my yogurt-making using the most excellent and delicious Natren yogurt starter probiotic refrigerated powder. With it I use organic whole milk, a thermometer, I let my milk remain hot for longer before cooling the pot rapidly in water, and then the yogurt ferments for a full 24 hours. This yogurt is thicker, richer in probiotics, and more delicious.
Wonsun Y.
This starter is awesome. Helps me calculate the ratio of the total amount of starters
Kathryn N.
Our entire family likes yogurt. I decided to make our own and keep the cheap ingredients out. Yum!
Charlene P.
I love making yogurt. It has been a great experience. Homemade yogurt taste so much better! Get Natren starter!
