Yogurt powder works well in smoothies, baked goods, coffee, seasoning mixes, snacks and more for a nutritious tangy flavor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWith some testing, yogurt powder can be incorporated into nearly any recipe for a yogurt flavor and nutrition boost without adding moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\nApplication<\/th> Amount of Yogurt Powder<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Smoothies<\/td> 1\u20442 - 1 tsp per serving<\/td><\/tr> Coatings<\/td> 2-4 Tbsp per cup of coating<\/td><\/tr> Topping<\/td> 1-2 tsp sprinkled on top<\/td><\/tr> Sauces<\/td> 1-3 Tbsp per cup of sauce<\/td><\/tr> Marinades<\/td> 2-4 Tbsp per cup of liquid<\/td><\/tr> Baked Goods<\/td> 2-4 Tbsp per recipe<\/td><\/tr> Coffee Creamer<\/td> 1-2 tsp per cup of coffee<\/td><\/tr> Dry Mixes<\/td> 2-6 Tbsp per package<\/td><\/tr> Nutrition Bars<\/td> 2-4 Tbsp per recipe<\/td><\/tr> Snacks<\/td> 1-2 Tbsp per cup of coating<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Rehydrating Yogurt Powder<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYogurt powder can be easily rehydrated by mixing with water to regain a thick, creamy yogurt-like consistency while keeping the delicious tangy flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use about 1\u20444 to 1\u20442 cup yogurt powder per cup of water depending on desired thickness. Whisk vigorously until smooth and creamy. For even thicker yogurt, drain through a cheesecloth overnight in the refrigerator to remove excess whey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rehydrated yogurt powder makes a quick and tasty stand-in for fresh yogurt in most recipes. The rehydrated yogurt will not be identical to fresh but provides excellent yogurt flavor and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Storing Yogurt Powder<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo retain freshness and prevent caking, yogurt powder should be stored properly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nKeep in a cool, dry place below 25\u00b0C\/77\u00b0F<\/li>\n\n\n\n Store in an airtight container away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight<\/li>\n\n\n\n Refrigerate after opening to maximize shelf life<\/li>\n\n\n\n Use within 6-12 months for best flavor when stored correctly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nUnopened yogurt powder lasts 12 months or longer at room temperature. Refrigerate opened packages and use within 6-12 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Making Yogurt from Yogurt Powder<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhile yogurt powder contains the flavors of yogurt, it typically does not contain live and active yogurt cultures. This means plain yogurt powder cannot be used to make fresh yogurt on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are a couple ways to use yogurt powder to make homemade yogurt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nYogurt Starter Cultures<\/strong> - Some yogurt powders specifically contain yogurt starter cultures. By combining this yogurt powder with milk and incubating, fresh yogurt can be cultured. Follow package instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAdd to Pasteurized Milk<\/strong>\u00a0- For plain yogurt powders, stir into warm pasteurized milk along with a yogurt starter culture. The yogurt powder provides flavor while the starter culture ferments the milk into fresh yogurt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhen adding yogurt powder to make yogurt, use approximately 2-4 tablespoons per quart of milk. Then whisk in a yogurt starter culture and incubate 8-12 hours at 110-115\u00b0F. The yogurt powder boosts flavor and nutrients while the starter culture transforms the milk into real yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yogurt powder can be used to make fresh yogurt if combined with a live yogurt starter culture before culturing the milk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
