I watched a vlog recently of someone making InstantPot Greek yogurt and thought…”I’d never do that…” But guess who would?!? My mom!! So here you go!

Pour 8 cups of whole milk into your InstantPot. Heat with the “Sauté” setting to 180 degrees. Remove the cooking pot from and set it on the counter.

Allow the milk to cook to 115 degrees, then stir in 1/4 cup of store bought Greek yogurt with active live cultures. Return the cooking pot to the InstantPot and cook for 8 hours using the “Yogurt” setting.

Pour some it the contents of the InstantPot into a cheese cloth lined strainer and strain overnight in the refrigerator.

Put the strained yogurt into a sealable container. Add 1tsp of vanilla and stir. If the yogurt is too think you can add back in some of the whey that was strained off. 8oz of this yogurt is a protein serving on the BLE weight loss plan. Recipe to follow.

instant pot greek yogurt

• 8 cups whole milk

• 1/4 cup store bought Plain Greek yogurt (with live cultures)

• Cheese cloth

• Strainer

• Instant-read thermometer

• 1 tsp vanilla

In the Instant Pot pour 8 cups of whole milk.

Press the Sauté setting and heat milk until an instant-read thermometer reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit. You may need to use Sauté setting twice.

Remove the cooking pot from the Instant Pot and set on the counter. Cool the milk down to 115 degrees.

Stir in 1/4 cup of the store bought Greek yogurt.

Return to the cooking pot to the Instant Pot and press Yogurt cycle for 8 hours.

When yogurt is done, place cheese cloth in a strainer. Place strainer in a large bowl. Pour the yogurt into the strainer to separate the whey.

Strain overnight.

In the morning, remove the yogurt from the cheese cloth and place in a bowl. If yogurt is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the liquid whey back in and stir.

Stir in 1 tsp vanilla and refrigerate.

1 serving = 8oz = 1 BLE protein

Enjoy!
