Can you use a vegan yogurt, such as coconut based unsweetened, plain? Anyone try this?

Just a side note, this is NOT to say anything is wrong with anything being made here, only to say that if you use or eat whey then find that you experience bloating, runny stools/diarrhea, gas, you might have become whey intolerant. I found this out by eating regular yogurt, frozen yogurt and other foods containing whey. It took a few years for me to realize what the problem was but now that I watch what I eat to make sure it has no whey, I no longer have these GI problems. Even Tootsie Rolls, malted milk balls, Twizzlers have whey (I found I can eat 2!!! mini Tootsie Rolls without problems). I have no problem with Greek yogurt since the whey is drained out.

In reply to vickykoen@gmail.com. You can keep whey for a long time in the fridge, 6 months or more. And it freezes quite nicely too! I am not experienced with freezing cream cheese but think with higher fat content it would not work out well.

The video is awesome! The spoon is a nice way to get the last drops and get cream cheese. Could you tell me how long the whey keeps and can you freeze it? Can you freeze cream cheese? Thanks!!

In reply to Aisha. You should use plain (unflavored/unsweetened), organic, full fat yogurt. Preferable from grass fed animals. I tend to use Stonyfield Organic as that is the best I can usually find. Do not use Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has already been strained...which is why it is so thick! Good luck!!!

Ok. If I wasn’t equipped to make my own yogurt for the purpose of making my own whey, what brand of yogurt would you recommend for this operation? Clearly something organic right? I already get Greek yogurt, so I’m thinking that wouldn’t work. Clearly nothing flavoured or sweetened right? Just a plain one?
Do you have any recommendations?? I’d love to make my own whey, but I have no idea what yogurt to use for it!
In a quandary here!

In reply to kesse. The cream cheese is sour, definitely. Not sure if it is a yogurt flavor, or the sour that I am tasting. My kids don't like it too, much, so I always eat it.

In reply to Angie Konn. It really is! Sometimes I groan that I have to make some whey, but when the 2 minutes have passed and it is draining in the fridge, I always shake my head and wonder why I procrastinated for so long!
