Yogurt is one food that people
say “I like it or I don’t like it.”
If you like it there are lots of
choices in the dairy case and
freezer sections.
If you don’t like it, you need
to keep an open mind to trying
recipes that have yogurt as one
of the ingredients, because many
times you would never guess
that yogurt is in that recipe.
Yogurt opportunities in reci

not only as a lunch mainstay or
a healthful snack, but also as a
friendly staple ingredient ready
to be blended with all kinds of
compatible foods-herbs, spices,
condiments, sweeteners, conven
ience products-for healthful,
delicious dining. The following
are just some of the ways you

• Stir yogurt into rice pilaf or
cooked spinach for a middle
Eastern flavor.
• Top soup or chili with a
dollop of plain yogurt.
• When using yogurt in a
soup, stew, or other hot dishes,
add yogurt at the very end of
cooking time. Yogurt will curdle
if subjected to high tempera
tures.
• Yogurt has a delicate con
sistency. Gently fold; don’t beat
it into dishes.
• Yogurt Cheese: Line a co
lander with several layers of
cheesecloth. Place colander over
a large bowl and spoon 2 quarts
of yogurt over the cheesecloth.
Cover with plastic wrap. Trans
fer bowl and colander to the re
frigerator, and allow yogurt to
drain for 12-24 hours. Throw
away the liquid collected in the
bowl. The yogurt will thicken to
a consistency of soft cream
cheese, and can be used to re
place it in cheesecakes, spreads,
etc. Two quarts of yogurt will
yield about 3 cups of yogurt
cheese.

Blended Yogurt Fruit

5 cups vanilla low fat yogurt
10 ounce package frozen berries
2 cups 1% milk
3 large ripe bananas

1 cup low fat milk
1 small package instant
vanilla pudding

In addition to being a deli
cious and versatile food, yogurt
offers many nutritional benefits.
It is high in protein and B vita
mins, and is one of the richest
sources of calcium. An eight
ounce serving provides about
300-450 mg of calcium. This
high calcium content makes
yogurt an ideal food choice for
women and men of all ages who
need calcium daily to build and
maintain bone density.
