Provided are non-dairy yogurt analogs having qualities similar to dairy-based yogurts. Certain embodiments are to plant-based yogurt analogs comprising fermented plant protein isolates and/or gelled plant protein isolates and processes for production of non-dairy yogurt analogs. The method for producing a plant-based yogurt mixture to make a plant-based yogurt analog comprises the steps of: a) obtaining an essentially dairy-free base for a yogurt formulation including a plant-based derivative; and b) adding an acid to said formulation. Thereafter, formulation may be used to manufacture a plant-based yogurt analog comprising the steps of: a) heating a plant-based yogurt mixture at for a first pre-determined amount of time while stirring; b) allowing the mixture to cool; c) adding yogurt cultures to the resultant mixture; and d) incubating the resultant mixture for a second pre-determined amount of time to produce a plant-based yogurt analog.
