You’ve probably heard it all about this food…
“It causes inflammation.”
“Dairy is not good for you.”
“You should avoid it.”
"It's too sweet, it will cause cravings."
Let’s learn about yogurt for a second…
Regular yogurt is made by heating milk, adding bacteria, and leaving it to ferment until it reaches an acidic pH of about 4.6. After it cools, other ingredients like fruit may be added.
The final product has a smooth consistency but may vary in thickness. Most yogurts are either drinkable or can be eaten with a spoon.
Due to its acidic nature, plain yogurt may taste slightly sour, but it’s generally sweeter than Greek yogurt.
Greek yogurt, also known as concentrated or strained yogurt, is made by straining the whey and other liquids from regular yogurt to eliminate them.
Because the straining process reduces the total volume, Greek yogurt takes significantly more milk than regular yogurt to make a batch of the same size.
And this is where I recommend Organic milk. It's best to start with a milk product that isn't full of injected hormones from the cows that produce that milk.
Regardless of what yogurt you buy, read the label and know what you're getting. Many yogurts are filled with sugar and food coloring - not actual fruit.
That’s the first step.
Not perfection. Not elimination. Just a better choice.
Because here’s the truth:
Nutrition is bio-individual.
What works for one person may not work for another.
Small, intentional steps.
That’s how real change happens. 💛
