GREEK YOGURT
GREEK YOGURT
Greek yogurt gets its thicker consistency from having any excess whey and lactose drained from it. It’s a great source of protein!
There’s also Balkan-style yogurt, which is similar to Greek yogurt in consistency and taste but has slightly less protein.REGULAR YOGURT

FROZEN YOGURT
FROZEN YOGURT
A delicious rival to ice cream, frozen yogurt comes in many flavours and typically retains some live bacterial cultures throughout the freezing process.
SKYR
SKYR
Widely available in Ontario, skyr is a traditional, cultured dairy product that originated in Iceland. Skyr is typically made from skim or low-fat milk and is high in protein with a similar consistency to Greek yogurt, though with a milder, less-sour taste.
HOW IS YOGURT MADE?
Yogurt can be made in different ways, but the process usually involves these simple steps.
The fermentation process
To start, bacteria cultures are added to fresh, pasteurized milk. This is what eventually gives yogurt its texture and tangy flavour.
Heating the milk
The milk is heated and kept in a temperature-controlled environment so the bacteria cultures are activated.
Cooling and adding flavour
Once the yogurt is a thick consistency (the longer the fermentation process, the thicker it’ll become) it’s cooled down and flavour is added.
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOGURT
Greek yogurt as a substitute
Try plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream, mayo, and veggie dips.
Using yogurt in baking
Opting for yogurt will make your baked goods more moist. Plus, the acidity helps activate the baking soda, which will make them fluffier.
Perfect for packing lunches
Drinkable yogurt is an easy and nutritious addition to your kids’ lunches.
