![]() ![]() The longer you strain, the thicker your yogurt will be, almost like cream cheese. Straining your yogurt also makes it Greek style. Not only does this thicken your yogurt, it increases the protein levels by concentrating it in your remaining yogurt. Straining yogurt removes liquid whey, which contains lactose (milk sugars). Although fermentation continues after chilling, it is much slower.Ģ. Most commercial yogurt does not ferment long enough at warm temperatures for the maximum consumption of lactose by the bacteria. Increased whey separation is also common with longer incubation times. Keep in mind that the longer you incubate, the more tang you will develop in your yogurt. At this point, the friendly yogurt bacteria consume all the lactose. Tips for reducing the carb count even more!ġ. In store bought yogurt, the carb count stabilizes around 4-5 grams per cup, as lactic acid produced (by the whey) continues to be made and the live bacteria become dormant. Entering the whole recipe amounts into the MyFitnessPal Recipe Calculator and dividing it into 12 (5oz/142g) servings, this is the result:ĥ grams of carbs? That is great! Less sugar, more protein, and fewer calories are a bonus! You may find store bought yogurt listing 3 or 4 grams per serving, but most often, the serving sizes are much smaller. Recipe: 1 carton of Whole Fairlife milk + 1 cup heavy whipping cream + Oui vanilla yogurt as the starter. My goal: Create the thickest, no strain yogurt, that tastes like OUI, with the lowest number of carbs. Oui vanilla yogurt: 170 cal 16 carbs Fat 8 Protein 5 Sodium 85 Sugar 15 Oui is one of our favorite yogurts and you can see why: Check here for more information on yogurt starters. If you like more tang, try Siggis, Chobani or Greek Gods. If you like mild yogurt, try Fage or Oui yogurt as your starter. The starter you use will have an impact on the taste and texture of your yogurt, so choose a starter that you like. Straining yogurt concentrates the proteins, reduces the lactose, thickens your yogurt and reduces the yield.ġ-2 tablespoons of your favorite plain or vanilla yogurt as your starter. Lower fat milks have a higher water content and when used for making yogurt, ends up being fairly thin unless non fat milk powder is added or if the yogurt is strained. There are some store brands that are copycats of Fairlife: HEB MooTopia, Natrel Lactose Free, & Kroger CarbMaster. You can find a lot more about Fairlife milk in my original Cold Start yogurt article. The milk with the lowest calories per cup is Fairlife Fat Free milk, with only 80 calories per cup and 6 grams of carbs. The milk with the lowest amount of carbs per cup is Heavy Whipping Cream, but it also has the most calories, at 800 per cup! Save some yogurt and freeze it for starters to make even more yummy yogurt! Make your own creamy vanilla frozen yogurt. Use your homemade yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise or sour cream in many recipes. ![]() You can control the level of tang by choosing your starter and incubation times.ĥ. Making your own yogurt, has a fresh flavor, much unlike the "cooked" taste of store bought yogurt. Canning jars, plastic storage jars or even kid-friendly on-the-go pouches can be used.Ĥ. You can store your own yogurt in reusable containers. Low carb, lactose free, and other specialty yogurts can cost much more. Making your own yogurt can cost less, depending on where you live and how much milk costs in your area. If you are sensitive to lactose, artificial sweeteners, or on a low carb diet, making your own yogurt makes sense.Ģ. ( Check out the ingredients in the CarbMaster yogurt below). You can avoid artificial sweeteners, additives and chemicals that are often in store bought yogurt to thicken, increase the shelf life and improve the flavor. ![]()
