Homemade Yogurt

Most people who know me know

my position on milk. Our bodies

cannot properly digest the

proteins in pasteurized milk.

Because of that, yogurt too

cannot be properly digested as

we get it in the store. However,

yogurt has many very healthy

properties that are so beneficial

for our bodies. In researching

about yogurt, I have found the

solution- The milk in yogurt can be digested if only processed

properly. In almost all commercial yogurts, the yogurt is cured

for about 4 hours. To help break down the hard to digest proteins,

24 hours is needed. So, I bought this yogurt maker several months

ago to start making this myself. It has sat in my pantry until a

few days ago. I pulled it out and found out how easy this is! It

makes 8 cups at a time. My kids loved it and I am making it

again today. It costs half the price of regular yogurt and only

contains what you put into it, no blue food coloring or sugar.

We love it with honey, vanilla and homemade granola. Try it out!

I bought it online at Lucy's Kitchen shop for about $60.oo. You

can buy the starter at the same company. Enjoy!
