Still Buying Yogurt From Supermarkets? Make Your Own!

Yogurt is indeed a true health-food superstar, but all yogurt is not created equal, especially the store-bought ones. Rather than try buy yogurt, most of which are loaded with added sugar and fake fruit, it’s best to make your own healthy sugar-free ones. They are really easy to make at home.

If you are concerned whether homemade yogurt has beneficial probiotic, then the simple answer is ‘yes.’ Mary Ellen Sanders, a food science researcher, says, “The standard bacteria used for making yogurt are well studied, and they are considered to be probiotics, especially because they help lactose-intolerant people digest yogurt.”

Making yogurt at home ensures that you get good live bacteria and top quality ingredients like hormone- and antibiotic-free organic dairy. You can even try making almond and coconut yogurt at home- they taste delicious!
