a new yogurt attempt

So, after the past couple months of making a weekly batch of coconut yogurt for myself, I looked at the can of coconut milk to find that it has 50 % of your suggested daily fat intake in it. And i thought thats a bit much eh? Ive tried using lite coconut milk but its just doesnt work for making yogurt, its too watered down. So I thought Id try making a yogurt from almond milk!
I knew it would be a bit thin, so I tried making it with some guar gum in it to keep it thick. I did everything the same as my recipe found on this page for coconut yogurt, but with unsweetened almond milk. And it did work! its not nearly as tasty and delicious as the coconut milk, but its nice to know that it works and that the guar gum thing works. I think next time Ill try half coconut milk half almond milk, that way i keep the yummy coconut flavour but reduce the fat significantly.

its just a picture of a jar, but this is it finished! not as white as the ccnut one.
