Yogurt is one of the most basic traditional foods, and even if you are just getting started with real food, including yogurt in your diet is an easy way to reap so many of the health benefits of cultured dairy. One of the main health benefits of yogurt, besides the protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals, are the probiotics. Probiotics are the good bacteria that inhabit our guts and help to promote better digestion and increase our immune systems.
Since its getting more common to make yogurt at home I wanted to try it out but I wanted to try my favorite version that could go with pretty much anything… So I found this great recipe! Apparently making homemade yogurt is like baking bread – you don’t need that much time and it’s not that hard once you figure it out, you just have to time it right to get all the little parts into your day. Breakfast tends to be yogurt with fresh fruit (yummy raspberries or blueberries) and granola of some variety. So now I have found this awesome recipe, we can have fresh homemade vanilla yogurt every time! Next up I think I need to try making my own granola… Watch this space!
