Holly at Seeking Faithfulness has shared a simple-sounding homemade yogurt recipe! This is very good news…we love vanilla yogurt fruit parfaits…topped with granola if I have it. Yum.

Besides being a great source of protein, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B12, yogurt helps boost the immune system by multiplying the good bacteria in your stomach.

In addition, I found this article about the probiotic benefits found in yogurt that said:

“Pediatric studies found that probiotics aids in a significantly decreasing the rate of acute diarrhea and rotavirus shedding. Parents also reported a 25% decrease in diaper rash among babies drinking formula containing probiotics.”

Go yogurt!

Have you ever used yogurt in the following ways?

• as a fruit dip
• by substituting plain yogurt for sour cream in recipes
• using yogurt instead of ice cream to create smoothies instead of shakes

What say you?
