About this recipe
High protein natural yoghurt Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate homemade fermented recipe for anyone who wants a thick, creamy yoghurt without additives. Made with full cream milk, full cream milk powder, water, a splash of lemon juice and a spoonful of natural yoghurt as a starter culture, this recipe delivers a protein-rich breakfast or snack that beats anything from the supermarket. The all-in-one kitchen machine heats the milk base gently and mixes the milk powder until completely dissolved, so you get a silky-smooth texture with zero lumps. Thanks to the controlled fermenting function of the TM7, the live cultures work at a stable temperature, giving the yoghurt its characteristic tangy flavour and firm set. Whether you spoon it over granola, blend it into post-workout smoothies or serve it with fresh fruit, this natural yoghurt fits a healthy weekly menu. Searching for yoghurt recipes for your Thermomix? This high protein version is a keeper.
Preparation tips
- Use a clean spoonful of very fresh natural yoghurt with live active cultures as your starter, as older yoghurt weakens the fermentation and gives a runnier set with the full cream milk.
- Sterilise your jars or storage container with boiling water before pouring in the milk mixture; any residual bacteria can interfere with the yoghurt cultures and affect the final flavour of the ferment.
- For a Greek-style thickness, strain the finished yoghurt through a muslin cloth after fermenting. Save the whey for smoothies, and stir the milk powder in thoroughly to avoid lumps.
- Keep the finished yoghurt refrigerated and reserve a few spoonfuls as the starter culture for your next batch, so you always have high protein natural yoghurt on hand.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-light version: use lactose-free full cream milk and a lactose-free yoghurt starter. The fermentation and protein content remain the same, making this high protein yoghurt gentle on sensitive stomachs.
- Festive winter variant: after chilling, fold in a swirl of honey, a pinch of cinnamon and grated apple or stewed pear for a seasonal breakfast, or top with toasted oats for extra crunch.
