Enjoying a well-balanced snack just got a little easier thanks to the introduction of 'Yomee' -- an on-demand yogurt maker that whips up the creamy treat from the comfort of your own home.
This countertop Kuerig-like device makes a fresh batch of yogurt overnight while one sleeps. Users simply add milk and a single-serve 'Yomee' pod to the device while the machine takes care of the rest -- cooling the treat overnight to ensure fresh yogurt is ready for a morning breakfast.
The most innovative element of 'Yomee' is its paired smartphone feature, which allows users to select a desired type of yogurt and informs users via a notification when their snack is ready. This notification system ensures the food is eaten at its optimal freshness, making for a more convenient method of at-home cooking.
