I have this for breakfast most mornings. The extra calcium is a plus. I add honey and granola for a delicious and filling breakfast. You can use your imagination with additions such as fresh fruit, preserves, or even chopped nuts. I have made this with flavored yogurt, but I prefer plain. You can even use the yogurt fluid (whey) instead of water in baking recipes.

Sold! This is an excellent method. The yogurt gets so thick and creamy it can be used in place of sour cream in your favorite dips. I freeze the whey for baking or smoothies at a later date. Thank you for the recipe. Read More

I was actually lucky enough to find cone shaped nylon yogurt strainers on sale at a kitchenwares store years ago. The cone shape helps strain the whey easier,and the fact they are reusable is more economical in the long run. I buy whole milk yogurt...and love the results. When I give it to my grandkids,I add a spoonful of strawberry or blueberry preserves in it.. along with chopped fresh fruit. Read More
