Episode 351: It's Not What You Eat… It's How Your Yogurt and Kefir Are Made

from Cultured Food Life · host Donna Schwenk

Most people think yogurt, kefir, and skyr are basically the same…But one simple step changes everything. In this episode, I'm going to show you how straining transforms fermented dairy — increasing protein, lowering lactose, and changing how full and satisfied you feel. We'll talk about kefir, Greek yogurt, skyr, and Yogurt Plus… and how each one works differently in your body. Because when you understand this, you can start choosing foods that truly support you.
