Today there are many brands that make available to consumers various types of yogurt in the market. With fruits, with cereals, with honey, without sugar, sweetened, Greek, natural, skimmed, liquid ...
In a previous article, we tell you the health benefits of yogurt consumption as a probiotic in a healthy and balanced diet. But surely when you are in the supermarket in front of the yogurt fridge you have asked yourself more than once what to choose among such variety, here we give you the guidelines to choose a good yogurt for your diet.
Depending on your tastes and your needs you can choose one yogurt or another. Skimmed yogurts, unlike whole yogurts, do not have much fat, therefore, they contain less calories. If you want to reduce the calories in your diet you can opt for this option.
With sugar? Sweetened? Most skimmed yogurts supplement the flavor that is eliminated by removing the fat increasing the amount of sugar, or failing that, sweeteners and aromas.
It is advisable to check the nutritional label and check in the list of ingredients if it contains added sugars, which is not recommended. A yogurt should only carry milk and dairy crops.
With cereals? Fruit? Muesli? There are more and more yogurts that add fruit, cereals with fiber or muesli to their ingredients. Actually it is not the best way to include fruit or cereals, or fiber to your diet. These ingredients included in yogurt do not replace any of these food groups in your diet.
Therefore, we recommend whole or skimmed yogurt in case you want to eliminate fats and subtract calories. It is true that the taste of this yogurt is somewhat more acid than the rest, but it is a matter of getting used to it. In addition, you can include for example a teaspoon of honey , some natural fruit, cereals such as oats or nuts to taste.
How long it takes to become The working time of the machine will depend on the model we have. Although the minimum cooking time is 6 hours, we can estimate that in a yogurt maker it will take between 8 and 12 hours to have them ready. The point is that the setting takes place from the sixth hour, but to make sure that everything is fine we must leave a minimum of 8 hours. You can leave it more hours, but it will become more acidic.
