How to Make L. Reuteri
LR Superfood Yogurt is cultured dairy, made with completely different strains of bacteria than conventional yogurt. These beneficial bacteria – Lactobacillus reuteri – impart significantly higher benefits and far higher probiotics compared to conventional yogurts.
This yogurt is thicker than Greek yogurt and is one of the best-tasting yogurts I've ever had. You will love this yogurt just for the taste and texture alone, but check out all the other benefits too.
LR Superfood's fermentation process is different from that of conventional yogurts: LR Superfood is fermented for 36 hours at a lower temperature than conventional yogurts and requires the addition of prebiotic fiber to the milk. So it's important to check and see if your yogurt maker is low enough (97-100°F) to make the yogurt.
This process generates very high probiotic bacterial counts, far higher than store-bought yogurts or even homemade ones.

The Right Equipment Is Important!
To keep your L. reuteri or L. gasseri at the best temperature, you'll need an appliance with a temperature adjustment of 100°F and a timer that can be set to 36 hours. This can be a yogurt maker, Instant Pot, or sous vide device. You'll need to make sure your device has those features. Here are some appliances that should work well for you.
Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker
This is a great yogurt maker that can make small jars or bigger bowls. They even have one that makes 12 jars. They are available on Amazon, and you can buy extra jars and bowls if you'd like. It comes with a lifetime warranty and lets you set the time and temperature. It is perfect and convenient for making L. reuteri or L. gasseri yogurt, as well as other yogurts.
Yogurt Maker
This is probably my favorite of the yogurt makers that I have tried. It's made by Luvele, which is a terrific company that is passionate about what they do.
Sous Vide
We've made dozens of jars of yogurt with this device. You can make larger batches so it's very convenient. It's actually a well-known cooking method used by many chefs.
You'll need a sous vide stick and a container to place the yogurt in a water bath. It allows you to make several jars at one time and controls the temperature perfectly.
Here is a link for the container I use but you can use your own container if you'd like:
Instapots/Pressure Cookers
Not all instapots have a manual temperature setting that can be set to 100°F.
L. reuteri and L. gasseri bacteria love human body temperature. Regular yogurt makers/instapots are usually automatically set to higher temperatures of 110°F or more, which is too hot for L. reuteri or L. gasseri to survive.
Test your device with a cup of water and a thermometer before making your first batch. I hesitate to recommend certain brands because it isn't always standard for all the pots, so please just make sure yours can maintain 100°F.
